Tinder couple win holiday so they can finally meet
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
Tinder has pledged to send a couple on a hot holiday getaway after their hilarious conversation went viral.
Long-distance romance is the sweetest and most painful kind there is - loving someone you don't get to see often can be quite tricky, but Tinder has stepped in to help this young couple meet.
Twitter and Tinder user Josh Avsec and 22-year-old Michelle Arendas have only exchanged 11 messages in 3-years on the dating app, and because of delays like "getting out of the shower" or "running out of battery" it's made it hard for the couple to stay in touch, and being worlds apart, they've never met.
Josh tweeted his conversation with Michelle and said "one day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic."
Hahahaha one day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic. Look at the dates of our tinder texts. pic.twitter.com/DASQK4c5cX

The tweet received 31 000 retweets and 97 000 likes Michelle gave Josh her phone number and now the pair look set to meet for the first time ever – in Hawaii.
The tweet also got spotted by Tinders twitter account and they promised to set up their first meeting, which the pair hope will happen in Hawaii.
"They told us that they were going to make sure we could meet in person.
"They told us that we had 24 hours to pick a city for our first date.
"We felt like we could walk on water. We were so happy. "
Share this feel good moment with your friends and family, and maybe cupid might come your way.
