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.

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