We all know that dating is hard, especially that first step. What to say, how to say it, what to do? Should I even try? We sometimes need a push.

If we have our friends to push us and back us up, things will be more comfortable. 

Anthony Beauvillier, a hockey player for the New York Islanders, wanted to get in touch with Anna Kendrick, Hollywood actress.

Luckily, this man didn’t have just his friends, but the whole Twitter community behind him, and they have backed him up in the wittiest way possible.

Scroll down and read this correspondence, we know you are going to enjoy it.

Anna Kendrick, Hollywood actress.

Beauvillier wanted to reach out to Kendrick on Twitter and received help from people all around the community. It is unlikely that he knows them all, but they are probably his friends now.

This is how Beauvillier tried to get Kendrick to notice him.

Hi @AnnaKendrick47

This is certainly not the most original introduction, but it is a start. Luckily, the cavalry came to the rescue. “Beau,” as hockey fans call him, got tremendous support. People started to post stories (maybe a little bit exaggerated) and compliments to help Beauvillier look better and get a date with Kendrick.

Remember the time he saved those kittens?

Beau, thank you again for saving all those kittens at that animal shelter in the Bahamas when the Hurricane hit. Still amazed that you swam to Miami with them on your back.

And when he gave his fan a kidney?

Waited five years for a donor until this guy gave me his kidney. Can’t thank you enough dude

And that time he saved all those puppies? Too bad about the cup though… Or is it?

hey man thanks for letting me use your gear during that fundraiser you held for the animal shelter to save puppies. Your cup was way too big but other than that everything worked fine. Thanks again!

He was apparently even a surgeon for a while.

Thanks for performing open heart surgery on me man, I appreciate it

You have to admit, this guy is pretty amazing.

A great day indeed.

Remember Beau when you saved me from a burning building, cooked me a 7 course meal and taught me 8 languages , that was a great day

And it gets better. This one is precious.

Hey, isn't that Bruce Willis's job?

Hey Beau,

The folks at @NASA called, looks like they’re gonna need you to save the world from another planet-ending asteroid again. Yeah I know, it’s getting old saving the world, but face it you’re our only hope!

Thanks, the entire world owes you for your sacrifice!

This guy wanted to beat the other praises. And mention that Beau has a yacht and a helicopter.

thanks for lending me the private yacht to go for a family vacation to the bahamas last saturday !! and for letting me use your helicopter to frequently visit my dying grandma !!

This man has such great friends. How can she not go out on a date with a guy like this? 

Hey Anna, everyone’s joking around with fake info but I’m not. He IS the nicest guy, gave me a puck as a rookie, back in 2015, during a rookie scrimmage at Barclays Center. He nodded @ me and returned with it. I was watching hockey live for the 1st time and he hooked me up. pic.twitter.com/we1g9pQtzE

Anna Kendrick responded on Twitter.

These replies have been my entertainment for the last two days. Thank you all for regaling me with the true tales of this man’s heroism.
