A man who created a Twitter account just to win over a Tinder match with his homemade pasta has gone viral online. Andrew Wang, a student of Columbia University in New York City, told Insider that he matched with a woman named Tilly on the dating app and began chatting with her on Tuesday.
"I asked her about her hopes and dreams and she mentioned screenwriter, comedian, and amateur chef," he said. "That one was my green light."
The 21-year-old created a Twitter account to show off his pasta-making skills. The account, named 'Tortellinis for Tilly', posted just six tweets on Thursday with pictures on how to make pasta from scratch. The Twitter thread has gone massively viral online and charmed many. Take a look at the six-step guide below:
