A modern day Cinderella story.
We’ve all done it.
That is, been so engrossed in something, while simultaneously swiping left on Tinder, that you make the ultimate in fatal errors and swipe left on someone who may have potentially been The One.
Oh well – you’ll just have to put it down as a mistake and learn from it.
However, that isn’t the way everyone sees it.
No no, Hayden Moll from Missouri State University wasn’t taking this sitting down. Instead, Hayden took it upon himself to find the one who (accidentally) got away.
Moll knew a few details of his rejected love, including that her name was Claudia. So, instead of scouring social media in his local Missouri, he actually emailed every Claudia in the university with specific details about her Tinder profile.
And his search was not fruitless, as he actually found the one he so heartily desired.
Her full name is Claudia Alley and she shared his long and amusing email on Twitter.

The tweet wrote: “THIS GUY LITERALLY EMAILED EVERY CLAUDIA AT MISSOURI STATE TO FIND ME ON TINDER”
As you can guess, it went viral pretty quickly.
People responded with mixtures of shock, disbelief and total hilarity.

If I did this I’d get blocked and a restraining order.

Did she email left or right!?

Everyone was keen to know whether Claudia emailed back ‘left’ or ‘right’, but that’s still anyone’s guess.
JOE has reached out to Ms Alley for confirmation, but had not heard anything back yet.
However, someone has managed to find Hayden’s Twitter profile during the madness. And, in our opinion, he deserves a date for his bio alone.
