TikTok reconnects man and woman who met at bar and never exchanged numbers l GMA 

It’s the fact that 12 year old girls found him and hooked them up for me. That was super nice of them, and I think they need more credit.

there is no one better at social media stalking and finding someone on social media than 12 year old girls. they are dedicated. and they really want to believe in true love and fairytales at that age

Went from "the most beautiful girl he's ever seen" to "she looked familiar"..... Must happen to him every weekend! 😂

I received the best advice from my stepdad. He said "If a man is truly interested in a romantic relationship he would move heaven and earth to be with the woman he wants". In other words, Zachs text response said it all. Just a side note. I was at work and received a misdirected phone call at my desk. I felt bad for the caller as he had been passed around to different departments. I helped him and about 20 minutes into the call we both knew we had met "the one". After talking over the phone for a few weeks we decided to meet in person (this is before the social media we have today). He sold his prized golf clubs, flew from Florida to Arizona, brought an engagement ring with him. All without exchanging pictures before!!! After a great 2 weeks he went back home, decided he didn't want to be apart, flew back and we were married a few weeks later. We celebrated our 25th anniversary in January. My stepdad was right!

The difference between girls and guys. The girl is thinking of the guy ALL THE TIME, remembers every detail, and does a TikTok to find him. The guy: yeah, she looked familiar….🤦‍♀️

She's a lovely girl. He didn't seem very enthused about reconnecting.

This is how I met my husband of 25 years now-at a bar he tapped my shoulder asked me to dance-he was drinking water/sprite the whole night and said to his friends she’s the one I’m going to marry and we were engaged 4 months later-Wishing you both all the best 💝 ❤️

They did this correctly. Social Media pressure is insane. Whether they choose to or not to begin a long-distance relationship, is enough pressure in itself. They do not need us adding to it. They were smart to know that becoming friends is the best thing to do right now--to stay in each other's lives. The future will tell what may happen. Whatever that is, I hope it's full of happiness. They seem like really nice people together or apart.

My favorite part of this story is when a group of 12 yr old sleuths are ones that find him out of like 4 million people lol 🕵️‍♀️

‘You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen’ also ‘She looked familiar’ 🙄

She’s definitely way more into him. He’s flattered but didn’t even seem to remember her haha.

Such a sweet young lady, she's the cutest and Zach seems to be a kind gentleman who's just starting life and a career at 22 years old just not ready to settle down into anything serious right now. Good luck to you two beautiful sweet people. ☺️

Unpopular opinion, but If he is interested he WILL ask for your number, The girl seems 20x more eager than him. No, good things don't necessarily take time, a guy who spends everyday with you knows in his heart if he wants you. After 6 weeks, his first words were "you look familiar" and you've had him in your mind consuming your whole life everyday. And he politely tells you again by his action that he just wants to be friends. Don't listen to words, look at their action.

Young ladies, if you are watching this, do not do what this girl did. Don’t do it for multiple reasons. If he really wanted to stay in touch with her, he would ask for her number. Clearly she got so infatuated but running after a guy like this will do nothing!! It will give him an ego boost but will not make him start being infatuated with her.

Sweet story. I just don’t know why she felt regret not giving him her number. I wonder why Zach never asked in the first place

“How could I forget?“ yet it took 5 minutes to recognize her🤨🤣I’m sorry but that was funny 😭

sorry but has she never been to bars or clubs? guys walk up to chicks and say this nonsense 24/7...it's to get at your heartstrings so they have something fun for the night....if it were meant to be don't you think contact info would've been exchanged before they parted ways? super delusional....

HE’S NOT INTO YOU

Dani seems way more excited and interested in connecting. The guy seems a bit reserved and being put on the spot to go on a date with her. Dani showed all the cards up front, chasing this guy down, doing all the work, even flying there to see him. The guy put in literally very little effort…Also, it’s really strange that they felt the need to post all of their interactions and feelings to the public all the time as they aren’t on a reality dating show nor are they celebrities.

Everyone saying how cute this story is ...this is so sad to me. She's bubbly and soo into him and never forgot him. He on the other hand couldn't care less about her and forgot who she was. Lol 😆 you can tell from the get go he was just wanting a one night thing and to never see her again. 😅 Poor girl he looks soo "who are you?.....oh it's you....you made a tik tok about me? -watches tik tok- "Ooohh....thats....craaaazy.....but um flattering. I'm flattered." 💀

You're trying this hard to get a man. Let me tell ya. He's not interested. Even after you find him, you're labelled as desperate.

Kudos to the GMA social media team for putting this together...!

I love these stories 🥰 We need more of these, we need more hope and love thanks GMA 🙏🏾🎉 edit: I do hope they take their relationship offline at some point tho… having the internet involved isn’t good for a genuine connection/longevity🤞🏾

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life" Seven weeks later "She looks familiar..."

When a guy tells you “ you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen “ take it with a grain of salt

Girls, never chase a man.

Nobody else finds this weird that someone would document every second of their love life to the public like that? I would be so upset if the world knew every detail about our date etc

Moral of the story… Do not chase Men!!! 🙅🏻‍♀️🚫 Especially if he didn’t originally go out of his way to exchange phone numbers with you after the first encounter, and did not bother to find a way to contact you after the first encounter. He was not that interested to begin with.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awwhhh how sweet!! Her honesty and vulnerability is refreshing and takes courage. God bless. Thank you for sharing your experience Dani. And thanks to Zach for his service ❤️

It's nice that she managed to find him via TikTok, but once they reconnected, she came off too strong. She shouldn't of shown her cards right away, and she should have been patient to see if he was reciprocating to her advances.

Most beautiful girl he has ever seen yet it took him 5 minutes to remember her…

He's not that into her 😕

I met my husband in the hospital nursery. I am about 12 hrs older than him. Same hospital. We dated in high school (even have pixs together from graduation and prom) and broke up right before my military duties. After a failed marriage and many failed relationships we reconnected through friends 5 yrs later at 22. At 23 we were married. At 24 we became parents. Now we are 26 years of marriage 2 wonderful adult children. Who would have thought that 2 babies in the same hospital would ever marry. Our town wasn't small by any means. That's fate. I didn't mind in the least.

I salute for Dani’s guts to do this tiktok video. Coz I don’t think I have the courage to do this crazy kind of thing. I just hope this zach guy doesn’t do this to all the good looking girls he spotted /bumped with. One word I have for young girls be careful who you give your heart with and do not all the effort unless the feeling is mutual. Guard your heart and pray for the feelings you have. ♥️

but i just think most men don't see these interactions the same way women do, men 'connect' with alot of women they find attractive,and they find a lot of women attractive And then let’s be honest the guys women do this with are the very good looking sweet charming types so he could be having these moments with people monthly

I love how he said she was "hard to forget", but it took him a solid 5 minutes to remember her face 😂. I would never date someone who shares their entire life & every detail of our interaction online. Guess who's going to know all your business if things go badly? *Everyone.*

I love this story❤. How awesome some 12 year old girls found him!

When he says on video "...took me about 5 minutes" to remember who she way, it is not good. You had a fun night at a bar and that will probably be the best night between the two of you. Don't worry, you will have many more fun nights with other men!

This is the correct way things should be done. People should take there time to get to know someone before escalating to being physical. This is how mature adults with self control should be. Thanks for sharing and have morals and valuing yourself. Wishing u love, good health, protection, and prosperity.

If that man didnt ask for your phone number then he didnt want to know you. I met my man 10 yrs ago at a club and he made sure he got my number before we left then he called me when I was on my way home. 💖

I gave up on dating over a decade ago, but this makes me want to take a chance. Such a sweet story.

If he friendzoned you, it’s not happening hon…that’s NOT how men think. It’s obvious she’s giddy about him, she needs to find someone whose giddy about her the same way

Those girls that were able to find him are actually amazing

She is adorable.

I like how this ended. we are so used to stories of serendipity, which are nice to hear about, but what Dani has shared with us is also a very realistic and common outcome for a lot of people. Friends last longer than relationships in many cases.

This is super cute! I also love that they are taking things slow and getting to know each other before rushing into a relationship. That is a very good thing to start with friendship and see what it blossoms into. They are young and there’s no need to rush 😊

How the hell did 12 year old girls find his resume?! I didn’t even know wtf a resume was at 12 😂 they will be fantastic FBI agent’s one day.

Tldr: Girl meets guy at club and doesn't get his number. She posts about finding him on TikTok. Couple months later they find each other, and fly across to see each other. They stay friends and don't date. She's happy TikTok found him.

Plot twist: She did all these to become tiktok famous and since half of our gen dont have anything better to do fell for that! And yes ofc shes a genius for coming up with the whole idea!

They are so cute together and she is so beautiful

If they ever decide to be more than friends and they ever hook up and end up having kids, those kids are going to be gorgeous because she is absolutely beautiful and he is just downright handsome and they both seem like sweet, down to earth people. I wish them both the best!

"Good things take time," I looooooovvvvveeeee that!!! Finally young people who are making sense and not jumping in for that instant gratification they all seek nowadays. Good luck Dani and Zach. Friendships only grow stronger with time. 🤗🥰

Starting up as friends is in the right direction.. the best lasting relationship and eventual partner in life is with a friend.

She's absolutely beautiful inside and out & he's a real gentleman! Very beautiful & incredibly touching!

See that. There’s a reason she didn’t give her number to begin with, she instinctually knew he was in a different head space. But beautiful relationships do start with good, honest and consistent friendships, so one never knows.

He seems like he is not much into the social media scene hope they can keep the rest their dating private

This sounds like a stunt people do on TikTok to go viral.

I was friends with my wife for 2 years before our first date. Married almost 20 years now and still friends. ;-)

It’s beautiful how times have changed. Thirty years ago, a woman would be labeled as forward and desperate for showing interest and pursuing a guy. Girls were expected to wait to be “chosen”. Today, women are free of being shamed for expressing themselves and are now limitless.

It may not have ended the way this girl wanted it to be, but who cares? At least, she won’t have to wonder for the rest of her life. Go girl!

This is so stereotypically emotional of her as a woman. Wth? She just FLUNG herself at a boy she talked to for 15 minutes, let the whole internet in on it, only to be met with a 'oh, hey you look familiar.' !!!! Worse, he's in the US legalized gang and not even cute. She will regret this hard He's clearly indifferent about her

Lol ive been there. You geti infatuated over a person but dont exchange info and go through great lengths to find said person. In the long run its not good for your mental health. Youll find things and see things you wont like. She seems like a sweet girl but really no need to go through these great lengths of getting a guy. People come and go! If they care enough to keep you in their life they will make an effort. Remember that please.

Can we just take a moment to talk about how the 12 year old girls found his resume???? Like???

My husband and I met online. Pen pals. Then met in person and became friends. Then he fell in love with me and gained my trust. I fell in love with him. 2 years after we met online we married. This year we will celebrate 22 years married. Not 1 regret.

Take this with a grain of salt, speaking as mom married for 22 years. To girl: I hope my daughter never does this. As a girl you need to do some self reflection and wonder why you felt the need to find a guy ( and make it a mission) that spent soo many hours with you and didn't even bother to ask for your number? Are you that alone? Do daily affirmations that you are pretty and worthy because YOU ARE! Don't fall for a guy with the most used pick up line. In a first date or night out even the worst asswhole in the world would be nice to you because he is trying to get in your bed. Value yourself more. If this was my son: I would honestly advise him to take it slow. A woman like this is a recipe for a toxic relationship and to really see if she has values that compatible to his. And to not feel pressure from others as he wasn't interested enough to ask her for her number in the first place. Men are also worthy of respect and boundaries.

Start as friends. You'll be able to see the worst of that person, and not take it personal. And the best of that person, and feel your heart glow.

There's a saying from Jamaica, A good friend is better than pocket money. 🇯🇲 🇨🇦 ♥️

She’s gorgeous. She has a great attitude and zest for life!

They are doing things in the correct order. Getting to know another human being is a gift. It is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and about this new person. Plus....timing is everything. Best wishes for a beautiful friendship.

He seemed polite but indifferent. Not as smitten as she is. Probably his heart is elsewhere because he has a life going on before walking up to her and saying hi. Good luck to them both though.

I mean, if she weren't so cute, NOONE would even give this any attention. This is why we all are living vicariously through her. It's truly a sweet story. Come on Zach!! She's worth the wait!!

He didn't look excited to see her. He was like "who is this?... Oh , it's that other girl from the bar that I didn't hook up with. Lol!"

This is cool. Happened to me in Chicago years ago I posted a personal ad and I found him!

She’s really out here living a whole movie.

How many times has a drunk man say things. Lol. She's nieve

I kept waiting for the part where his wife responds to her.

I love how social media (the group of 12 year old girls) made this happen . I hope this is a friendship that last a lifetime (wether they stay friends or move forward) love this ☺️

Those Alabama 12 year olds might just be the best love detectives on the socials.

A woman goes out of her way to find you on social media like that...crazy as it is...but damn...You know she'll walk on water to find you! That's a keeper!

Low-key though, their kids would be gorgeous. Those green eyes and brown skin... * chefs kiss *

He’s in the army 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

This is a one in trillion chance it turned out positive meeting. I've heard other stories about them turning out not so great be on guard.

She's so pretty ❤ Also, starting off as friends is the healthiest and best thing to do. It would be a sweet story if it progressed but sometimes being friends is better than being lovers that end. Good luck to the both of them in whatever choices they make 🙏

This is really dangerous, and if he really wanted to get to know her. He would of never allowed her to get away, without exchanging numbers.

She is too funny 😂. I’m rooting for her whether it be Zach or some other nice young man.

I had a similar experience. Thought about finding the person but my friends told me let it go. It’s in the past.

"I remember you" The most beautiful girl you've ever seen, huh?

This girl is a rock star ⭐ and deserves an amazing man 🥰🥰🥰

Those 12 year olds ,will make amazing detectives someday. That was quite the task. I wouldn't know where to start from!

I’m sorry but I find this a little creepy and stalker-ish. Idk, maybe it’s just me. And the guy didn’t seem as excited and happy to see her, too. Maybe a stunt, too, to get more followers? Idk, I’m sorry but really doesn’t sit right with me.

Just my 2 cents here. I had a sort of similar experience way back in 1979. I too was stationed at fort Carson Colorado. My friend's fiance at the time came to visit him from San Diego and she brought her friend with her to be fixed up with my roommate. That didn't work out. When we went to Ft Irwin California for a 45 days of desert training, we had a 3 day pass to go to Disneyland where I was set up with this same girl. They were coming up from San Diego to Anaheim. We actually hit it off. She was super nice and we had a great time going to Knotts Berry farm, Disney, and the beach. And we might have gone a little too quickly if you know what I mean that last night on the pass. When I got back to Colorado, we wrote each other, talked on the phone when we could (pay phones back then). But then I got orders to go to Germany. And I freaked out. If we had just became 'friends' only and kept in touch who knows what woulda, coulda, happened. But my guess is (43 years later) I feared we went too quickly, and she would end up with someone else or maybe even me. But that was that and I never heard from her or she from me again. So in conclusion to my little story, I believe they are doing it the correct way. You never know. One thing I learned after all these years on Earth, I truly believe the BEST relationships are the ones where you are friends first. Good friends or more at that. And if it becomes more than that in 'addition' to the friendship, you are 2 lucky people. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth (or as we say in NY, not for nothing). Learn from others mistakes... Like mine! I wish these 2 the best!!

I will never be this desperate. Even if I am talking to a guy and he starts losing interest then so do I. Boy crazy girls are dangerous (I.e. Alexis Crawford’s friend)🙄 P.S. He does not like her like that.

Can we talk how 12 year olds have a strangers resume?

This was literally amazing, who would have known a tik tok could do so much. I'm glad they remain in contact, good people like that is truly something you should try keeping. 😊💛

The amount of confidence that this man has is honestly very amazing. Zach, TEACH US !!!!!

I'm happy for Dani! I hope it works out for them! 😊

That is BEAUTIFUL in ever way. I love that's it open still to the unknown. Friendship is an amazing thing. ... Whatever happens you have a friendship that is super special.....

This was such a cute story. Friendships are the best and longer lasting overall. She doesn't need to date him. The fact that she got to see him again and get to know him is huge. Often times you never see the person again and live in the "what if" regret zone.

They both come across as really nice. At the end she mentioned friends. That is an excellent place to start. I was friends with a man who became my best friend. The one I could always talk to about anything. Long story short, married 28 years.

Her eyes r so cool
