Andre, 20, had been paying Jennette, 21, attention online for some weeks before she finally tweeted him back in August, and they ended up meeting in person for the first time in L.A. over Labor Day weekend—a trip that was well-documented on social media, of course.
And now they're an absurdly adorable item! But Jennette reveals in her op-ed that she didn't blindly fall
Jennette recalls how the whole thing started when she got hundreds of tweets from fans encouraging her to follow @dre_drummond_ on Twitter, thanks to the "Women Crush Wednesday" posts and other sweet tweets he had devoted to her.
But she admits that she wasn't sold right away and did her research, checking him out on Google and Wikipedia and going way back through his Twitter feed to get a better sense of the guy.
As for his Jennette tweets, "I found it sweet, gutsy, and flattering," she wrote. "It's hard not to be impressed by a boy who will express his feelings for you in front of hundreds of thousands of people. I followed him back on Twitter and sent him a public message. We had a brief banter and then he sent me a private message with his phone number. Inevitably, I utilized it."
Actually, it's very easy to be not impressed by a stranger tweeting about you, so there was obviously something she liked about Andre right off the bat.
