Complex reached out to @lowkeylean, who said that the whole exchange was a hoax that he created in order to go viral.

Original story below:

Stories of teachers (including substitute teachers) having sex with students are a dime a dozen. Matching your teacher on Tinder? That’s a whole different story. Twitter user @lowkeylean posted an alleged screenshot of himself matching with his teacher on Tinder and the conversation that ensued thereafter.

In a tweet on Thursday, @lowkeylean posted a photo of his teacher Margaret’s Tinder bio (in case you were wondering, she’s a 36-year-old mother of two who’s also a fan of Game of Thrones). In the same tweet was another photo of him messaging Margaret on Tinder, reminding her: “Hey I’m in your Wednesday lecture lol.” Once she acknowledged she knew who he was, he went for the kill, writing “I’ll d**k you down for an A in class,” followed by the eggplant emoji. Can’t get much more direct than that.

After it looked like Margaret was about to curve him, or even worse call his parents or something, she answered. In a follow up tweet, @lowkeylean wrote, “I legit deleted my account for good” with a screenshot of the updated conversation. Margaret had told him she stayed late to grade papers on Fridays and invited him to pass by with a flirty winking emoji.

Some Twitter users praised @lowkeylean, calling him “legendary,” while others jokingly scolded him for passing up the chance to stay after class with Margaret. If the Internet has taught us anything recently, it’s to not believe everything you see—so as good as this story is, remember it might just be fake. When Complex reached out to the seven women who wished the same man a happy National Boyfriend Day, most of the women told Complex it was a joke between friends, while one woman said it wasn’t a joke at all.
