A student who accidentally swiped left on his Tinder crush has injected the romance back into online dating by going on a university-wide search for his would-be lady love.

Hayden Moll, from Missouri, was crushed when he pressed the 'reject' button on the app by mistake, losing sight of a potential match he had set his sights on- only known by her first name.

The student quickly went about emailing every Claudia on his Missouri university campus of 23,000, explaining his search in the huge round robin.

And his efforts didn't go unrewarded, with his search quickly going viral and finding his crush Claudia Alley.

Tinder's Romeo: Hayden Moll, from Missouri, was crushed when he pressed the 'reject' button on the app by mistake, losing sight of a potential match he had set his sights on- only known by her first name

Emailing about forty students at the University of Missouri, he wrote: 'Hello all Claudias of Missouri state (I think I may have missed some and if so someone help me).

'First off my name is Hayden and I made a rookie mistake on Tinder. I accidentally swiped left on Claudia's profile (left is bad) and I really wanted to swipe right.'

Explaining his search further he continued: 'If Tinder provided last names that would be much easier but it doesn't so I have to describe the profile to you.

'I swiped left on a girl with the name Claudia. The age next to her name was 20 but in her bio it said she was actually 18 but she didn't know how to change it.

'The pictures she provided had some with her friends and her mom in them. In her bio it said some of her friends were single and if anyone liked them better that's fine but they couldn't have her mom (this had me dead btw).

'So like I said I meant to swipe right but that didn't happen. My Instagram is hayden.moll if you want to look me up.'

And offering up a date of doughnuts if the correct Claudia was indeed interested, he continued: 'I'm just asking, if this is your profile I described please message me back with 'right' or 'left' just so I know if you're interested or not.

'If you're interested we could totally get some doughnuts or something but if you choose 'left' that's cool too. No worries!

'If it's none of you Claudias and you know even more Claudias spread the word please. It would be very much appreciated.

'Hayden'.

'This guy literally emailed every Claudia at Missouri State to find me on Tinder', Claudia Alley wrote on Twitter alongside the snaps of his search

She then shared a shot of her Tinder profile, proving she was indeed the Claudia he had been searching for.

'We need answers. did you message him left of right? did you get doughnuts? are you in love??? would he rather have one of your friends? answers claudia answers!!! (sic)', one follower wrote.

Another added: 'It’s been four hours and I’m stressing out by the fact that I don’t know if she swiped left or right,' and a third wrote: 'Did she she email left or right'.

But while the duo have both followed each other on Twitter, it is not yet known whether they will go for those doughnuts.

Femail has contacted Claudia and Hayden for comment.
