Sliding into his DMs might be more fruitful than you think.
On this Valentine’s Day couples are celebrating their relationships by toasting to the social networking platform that started it all: Twitter. With the straightforward hashtag #WeMetOnTwitter, couples are posting appropriately mushy selfies and professionally taken pics chronicling their love stories on the website that started it all.

Some couples have been together for years, and have even gotten married—milestones that show how online dating has truly changed the game.

Though this couple may have just met last month, it hasn’t stopped them from showing the internet what’s possible when you take a chance.

Let this be a lesson folks—the worst thing that could happen after sliding into someone’s DMs is rejection.
