On Wednesday, Michaela Flowers shared a play-by-play of her Tinder date to the super-popular Cool Dog Group on Facebook.
The Australian teen's post ended up getting over 10,000 likes and hundreds of comments before it was deleted around midnight.
Michaela matched with Darcy on April 26. At first, they shared a few GIFs and talk about their mutual love for Judge Judy.
Eventually the pair began talking about Michaela's dog, and Michaela jokingly offered to take Alfie to Darcy's house.
“I don’t think Darcy actually thought I would turn up. But I did. And I showed up with my dog at his doorstep,” Michaela told BuzzFeed.
Michaela got her dog, Alfie, 18 months ago, and spends most of her time with him. She told BuzzFeed she found it only fitting that Alfie come with her on her date.
Michaela posted in Cool Dog Group on the way to the date, and the thousands of members were eager for updates. After she got permission from Darcy, Michaela spilled the beans on all the happenings in the dog-human double date.
“The first thing I did was tell Darcy about my post. I didn’t want to invade his privacy and continue along with something he wasn’t comfortable with. I don’t think he really believed me - he still probably doesn’t believe me - but I explained that I had to take photos of our dogs together to keep the hundreds of people updated,” she said.
Among the hundreds of people commenting on the post was Michaela's mum and member of Cool Dog Group, Karen.
"Words can't describe how embarrassed I was by my mum. Though everyone on the post thought it was the most hilarious twist to the whole scenario and said lovely things about how much of a legend she was - which she is."
Michaela's mum actually found out about the date through the post in Cool Dog Group, which Michaela helped her join.
Michaela and Darcy met up, and she introduced Alfie to Darcy's dog, Rufus, before chilling out and watching some Judge Judy.
Michaela and Darcy haven't had a second meeting yet, but she is hopeful for another doggy-date soon.
