"omg why didn't we talk more at chapman" Says Guy Who is Obviously Trying to Hook Up

Issue 75 | July 2025

In a late-night act of nostalgia without any ulterior motive, Sebastian Clark, 24, slid into the DMs of a former Chapman University acquaintance with the bold opener: "omg why didn't we talk more at chapman?? haha." Observers confirmed that the message was sent at 12:47 a.m. — the cyclical hour in which every gay man suddenly remembers that one guy who he matched with on Hinge in 2023.

The recipient, Henry Lottle, vaguely remembered Sebastian from their shared "FFC: The Case for Kindness" course, where he barely helped out on their final group presentation and spent most of the time on his phone. They hadn't interacted in over two years, but Sebastian, a newly arrived Culver City resident, clearly revisiting his past, seemed to interpret the photo Henry was tagged in on Instagram as a green light. According to mutuals, Henry had "gotten twunk-ier sometime around 2024," which, sources suggest, is how Sebastian suddenly remembered they had so much in common.

Sources can also confirm that shortly after the initial DM, Sebastian reached out to Henry on Grindr with: "haha, funny seeing you here ;)"

At press time, Henry had replied with a polite "haha yeah lolll" and was already drafting an excuse about a made-up boyfriend and being "so busy with work" for the next few weeks.
