On October 30, the man shared a six-step guide with photos explaining how to make the ring-shaped tortellinis pasta from scratch.
In first 5 tweets he explains how to prepare the dough and then make the final dish.
In the last tweet, however, he shared a smiling image of himself with a caption that reads, “Win her heart.”
The thread didn’t capture people’s attention instantly. It came into limelight when Tilly took to Twitter to share the man’s gesture. “This sweet man... Made a twitter account to show me his pasta because you can’t send pictures on Tinder,” she wrote while retweeting the man’s post.
