Guy scored his first Tinder date using a poem and we are as surprised as he is

Roses are red, don't be a jerk, do these kind of poems, actually work?

Apparently they do, at least for this one lucky guy on Tinder. Reddit user Geecher posted a screenshot of a very successful interaction he recently had on the dating app, with the title, "Huh, I've been on tinder for a while and was always too chicken to actually ask a girl on a date. This time built the courage and I did it. This'll be my first tinder date."

Behold, the poem that secured this brave poet a date:

Apparently he never had the courage to ask one of his matches out before, so he was very surprised when his artistic approach was actually a home run.

Anyone who has been in that position knows it takes some guts -- though maybe we should all stop stressing since apparently even the most basic of poems can help you stand out from the crowd.

Now that he's scored the date, maybe he should quit while he's ahead and let Maria be the poet in this relationship.
