So I have THE craziest story. Get your popcorn, wine, and assorted snacks because this one is a doozie!
So a few weeks ago, I matched with this guy on OK Cupid. I look at his profile: he's 25, getting his Masters, just got out of the Air Force, and most importantly, he's FINE! His profile says he's new to my hometown. I don't usually send first messages but decide to send a cute one. I say, "Welcome to Baton Rouge! Let me know if you ever need a tour guide ". I never received a response Last week, I actually decided to delete my profile, not because of him, but because the quality of men on that app is just poor.
Last Thursday, I get on twitter and see a male friend of my tweet, "hey, y'all follow 'abc123'. He's doing great things." That's not his actual profile name I click on the profile, and y'all...it's HIM!! The guy who never answered me! This man is like, a twitter celeb! He had about 25K followers. He's a local BLM ally (he's white). I tweet my friend what happened and he gets the guy to follow me. I slide in his DM's and say "hey, I messaged you on OKC!" He replies back pretty quickly, "I'm so sorry! I actually deleted the app last week. I thought doing that would delete my profile, I didn't know you had messaged me!" I accept his answer and we message back and forth. He asks for my number, I give it to him, and we begin to text each other. At this point, I'm like
We had some great convos. We talked about our upbringing, school, interests, hobbies. He asked me on a date and we were going to meet up after mid-terms next week. Everything was going amazing, then he suddenly stopped texting me last night, and I thought something might be up but he told me he had a project in one of his classes due this week, so I figured he was busy with that.
Tonight, I had dinner with two friends, and we're talking about boys. I tell them about Mr. Air Force, and they say, "oooh, can we see a picture?" I then pull up his Twitter and see that I'm blocked! I think "maybe that was a mistake". So I go to his IG and see that I'm blocked there too! Now, I'm really confused because I have no idea what went wrong!! I text him and the iMessage doesn't go through, which means he blocked me there as well!! I was so confused! I knew I had to move on, but I really wanted to know what happened.
I thought that maybe he'd tweeted something, so I log out of my twitter and look at his page. Since the last time we talked (around 7 PM on Monday) his page was full of RT regarding police brutality. The only thing he tweeted was something like "if you have a boyfriend, don't DM me" but I knew that had nothing to do with me since I do not have a boyfriend. I figured he must have been talking about someone else. So I look at my Twitter to see if maybe I had tweeted something that could have offended him.......then it hit me!
Y'all, what "holiday" was yesterday on social media? National Boyfriend Day! As a joke, I posted a picture of Michael B. Jordan on my instagram and wrote #NationalBoyfriendDay and shared it to my twitter. I posted the pic around 9 PM...he'd posted his tweet around 9:30 PM. HE THOUGHT I HAD A BOYFRIEND AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS MICHAEL B JORDAN!! Like, if I was dating Michael Bae Jordan, you think I'd be in your DM's?
I tell my guy friend and he's laughing hysterically. I'm laughing too because I cannot believe this is a true story, but it is.
