Nick Goepper, Team USA Heartthrob, Searches For A Valentine On Twitter

After winning Bronze in slopestyle skiing, Nick Goepper has emerged as Team USA’s most desirable bachelor and is embracing his heartthrob status by holding a social media contest to win a date with him.

Who Is Nick Goepper?

Goepper, 19, and two of his Team USA freestyle skier teammates, Joss Christensen and Gus Kenworthy, made the coveted sweep podium a reality on Thursday, Feb. 13, making Goepper even more in demand among female fans. The boys appeared on Today to celebrate the second US sweep in the history of the Winter Olympics, where Goepper made a public plea for love, even getting Al Roker to teach him how to say “looking for love” in Russian.

Goepper, a proud Indiana native, earned the title of “Heartthrob” when he won the 2013 Dew Tour in Colorodo and has continued to live up to the name during his first Olympics in Sochi.

Win A Date With Nick Goepper

Goepper invited fans to reach out to him on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag “#IWantToDateNick.” Fans who want a shot at dating the young Olympian will have to send him a tweet or photo using the hashtag. The most creative entry will be chosen to go on a fantasy date with the skier and will even be flown out to meet Goepper.

“This is kind of like a tryout. They post something creative and something to catch my attention,” Goepper told Us Weekly about the desired tweet.

Goepper has been vocal about his desire for love recently, taking to Twitter to wish all his female fans a happy Valentines Day.

Goepper announced the contest in an interview with Us Weekly and then quickly announced it on his Twitter as well.

“Single ladies! Go on a dream date with me after the Olympics,” he wrote.

Goepper says he is looking for love, not just a hook-up, and even has some ideas in mind for the big date already.

“[I’m looking for a] super fun, easy relationship. I’m just gonna surprise them… Dinner and maybe a sleigh ride. Maybe some skiing. We’ll see,” Goepper teased.

Girls looking to win a date with Goepper might want to try writing him a sweet love song. In a photo posted by the NBC Olympics, Goepper asks country singer Taylor Swift to be his Valentine, though he also admits to being a fan of popstars Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.

#IWantToDateNick

So far, fans have jumped at the challenge, with ‘#iwanttodatenick’ inspiring hundreds of tweets and quickly becoming a trending topic on Twitter. Some have embraced the challenge to be creative, writing poems or posing for staged photos.

Others stuck with classic ski puns:
