The next time you complain about how you can't even get a text back from bae, don't. 21-year-old Michelle Arendas and 22-year-old Josh Avsec are living proof that you don't have to be in contant communication to keep the love alive.
Michelle and Josh matched on Tinder waaay back in 2014, and they are *still* talking. Josh told BuzzFeed News that he sent Michelle a simple "hey" and she didn't respond until two months later. Apparently, Michelle deletes and downloads the dating app and sometimes, she misses some matches and messages. To start the conversation, though, Michelle responded with a joke:
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

They contact each other every couple of months, making the joke last three freaking years.
Thanks to the Internet, Josh finally took the plunge and DMed Michelle to exchange numbers. And because all good things come to those who wait, Tinder got wind of the viral news and surprised Josh and Michelle.

After a long debate, the two settled with Maui, Hawaii, to which Tinder said,
Aloha! We're sending you to Maui but you can't take two years to pack your bags! ?????
