Woman Ready To Give Up On Men Gets Engaged After Asking A Question Online
Love can appear in the strangest of places — yes, even on Twitter.
Where did all the single men go?
Twitter user @KatieKatCubs (Katie) was frustrated with her love life. So much so that she asked her male coworkers where to find single guys and they gave some pretty awful options.
Asked the married guys at work where to meet single guys. Here’s what they came up with
1. Strip club
2. Any bar, anywhere at 1:30am

Twitter user @TBrown_80 (Terry) had a different suggestion, but she didn’t like it.
Literally the worst answer 😂

Still, they continued to chat back and forth. Terry suggested some other places where she may find single guys: the DMV, a Blockbuster Video (this was from 2017 but there were almost none left even back then), the gym, Hooters, and the frozen food aisle. He didn’t stop there, adding IKEA, the library, a museum, roller rink, and a shooting range. But still, Katie thought, “Twitter is the WORST place to meet a guy.”
But Terry was persistent.
“OK, I’m here to help,” he tweeted. “I’ve seen enough Lifetime/Hallmark movies to know what to do. Step 1. Are you a career woman?”
“lol I guess,” Katie responded. “I’m more of an awesome chick that likes sports, drinks beer, cusses a lot. I’m usually cast as the witty friend not the lead.”
The two continued back and forth as Terry genuinely listened to her troubles finding a guy.
“I’m hopeless,” Katie wrote.
“You’re not hopeless,” Terry responded.
A Twitter love story starts to bloom
Shortly thereafter, Terry slid into Katie’s DMs and told her he thinks she’s cool. Heartwarmingly, she thought he was cool, too.
Three years later, Terry posted to Twitter again. This time, he wasn’t responding to Katie’s pleas to meet a good single guy. Instead, it was to celebrate their engagement.

The post attracted more than 550,000 likes and over 4,000 comments, many of them offering congratulations and sharing their own heartwarming loves stories.
You never know when – or where – you’ll find love
While Twitter can be an ugly place filled with arguments and shaming, it can also apparently be a place to find the love of your life — who knew? Clearly, love comes at the strangest of times and in the strangest of places and it’s heartwarming to hear that Terry and Katie found each other through it all.
