Whoever said "nothing ventured, nothing gained" was not kidding.

This applied to Jillian Druzgala, a 23 year old University of Iowa college student, who risked the embarrassment of rejection by approaching a cute guy to give him her number.


Unfortunately for Druzgala, the dapper young man she spotted at the dining hall inside her dorm, Burge Hall, turned out to be gay.

But the story doesn't end there.

Even though she didn't get the guy, she still came out winning in ways she never expected.

The "cute guy," whose name is Derek, appreciated Jillian's fortitude in asking him out. But instead of making her feel humiliated, Derek suggested she should meet another available – and straight – bachelor: his identical twin brother.

Jillian posted a screenshot of Derek's text response on Twitter.

"Hey this is Derek from Burge! I wanted to say I respect your confidence to be able to come up to me and give me your number, you are very pretty!"

"Unfortunately I am gay BUT I am an identical twin and he's straight if you'd like his number or Snapchat lol"

Druzgala gladly accepted Derek's kind offer and contacted his equally as handsome straight brother, Scott.

“Oh my lanta. Honestly, that works out. Yes please."

Twitter agreed it was the best kind of consolation prize ever, with Druzgala's tweet reaching 404K likes.

And Derek became everyone's number one cupid.




Druzgala provided an update on how things went on her new date.

“Went to lunch with the brother. His name is scott :) will be hangout out again after thanksgiving break."

In another followup, she proudly announced her new bestie.

“(Derek and I) are now friends. We will also be hangout out after thanksgiving break too."

People predicted things to come for her blossoming relationship with Scott.



And while we were all rooting for Jillian's budding romance, some guys wanted their own happily ever after with Derek.







Don't be discouraged when things in life don't always go as planned.

Because at the end of every calamity, you may find there is always a rainbow.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
