Despite its many shortcomings, social media is a place that facilitates reunions. These can come in all forms, welcome or unwelcome. You can be invited to a dreaded high school reunion or you could also find long lost friends and lovers.
The latter is the case for Twitter user Bolu Babalola, who claims to have made a connection with a special and very good looking guy over the summer. Their time together was cut short due to a change of phone number, so she came to Twitter with a request.
I met this guy on holiday this summer-we had a such a great connection but I changed my number and we lost touch. Twitter do your thing???❤ pic.twitter.com/rBekHA6TeL

The tweet quickly went viral, racking up over 18 thousand retweets to this day, with Twitter users making comments and picking up on the joke. Many Black Panther references were made:
I’m actually a local Wakandan and he’s the kings cousin… all hell broke loose when he came to visit us last time… so be careful girl because he wants to take control of everything… @michaelb4jordan … he’s calmed down and is pretty focused on boxing right now

Babalola seems to be the only one not in on the joke, as she can’t seem to understand why anyone would think her photo was photoshopped.
It's upsetting me and my homegirls that people think this is photoshop. Please have some respect and stop being so cynical. Respect romance and stop trying to interrupt the course of true love. 🙏🏿 what's understood don't need to be explained❤. 📸 @FUERTESKNIGHT

Many questions arise, with the first being: will Michael B. Jordan ever see this? If he does, will he follow through on Bolu Babalola’s offer? Mashable spoke with her via email, where she explained that if the actor were to acknowledge her tweet she’d say, “Thanks for the great time this summer, shall we pick up where we left off?”
We wish them all the best.
