The charming city of Paris is home to one of the most romantic spots in the world—the Eiffel Tower. Several love stories have begun and reached their zenith on the third floor of this wonder of the world. In fact, if you’ve ever visited the Eiffel Tower, you’ll come across a rather suggestive sign:
Twitter user Juliana Corrales of California took full advantage of this sign and kissed a cute stranger. But her love story hit a major snag! She forgot to get his number! So what did she do? Well, she sought help from her Twitter fam, of course!
Kissed this great guy on the top of the Eiffel Tower, biggest regret is that I didn’t get his number, Twitter can ya help a girl out? pic.twitter.com/ZkNqXc1a9J

Thankfully, she had just one other detail about the mystery guy, besides his name.
Ps. He’s is from Texas !

Then what? Twitter was drawn to this challenge like a moth to a flame! But there was one request that Juliana was inundated with numerous times. What’s the story, girl?
I need the backstory of this. pic.twitter.com/iZYl4DfQtf
— Jules. (@spycharmed) January 9, 2018
And finally, she obliged! In a Twitter thread, she explained how fate had brought them together atop the Eiffel Tower during her school trip to Paris. And believe me, it makes for one hell of a meet-cute!
It started with a pact….
Okay so here’s the backstory. I went on a school trip to Paris for 12 days with my 3 best friends, ever since my amazing parents surprised me with the news, I made a pact with myself that I would kiss someone on the Eiffel Tower.

What happened next was something all single folks will relate to!
So it was the final day of the trip, the 6th of January, and we were on the top of the Eiffel Tower, and I was looking for someone to kiss. Unfortunately there wasn’t many options because there was no one my age who didn’t come with their girlfriend.

Enter our hero, Gavin!
But luckily my friend @danielleecallaw saw Gavin and like total spazzes we followed him around the top level and she tapped on his shoulder and then backed away to let me speak. Somehow I managed to make concise sentences and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind kissing me
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
Oh Gavin, you gentleman, you!
I explained to him about my pact , and to my dismay he actually agreed to kiss me😂
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
Awwwww you guys!
But the real MVP was Gavin’s mom, who urged her son to kiss Juliana again!
So we kiss and it was pretty cool and my friends were all cheering and we were all laughing, and then his mom yells “ that’s my son, kiss again so I can get a picture” and of course I happily oblige because he is GORGEOUS and then we kissed again.
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
Of course, amidst all this crazy, she forgot to get his number!
In the heat of the moment I completely forgot to get his number, which is why I took it to Twitter, making hoping maybe we could find him?? But I never expected all of this hahha😂😂 so thank u so much to everyone who is invested and everyone who has been kind enough to help me😊
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
It’s okay, Juliana. These things can happen. Your Twitter fam got your back!
Juliana, like a die-hard romantic, had full faith in the Tweeple and kept her hopes alive!
So far Gavin still hasn’t been found, but I still have hope!! Again thank you to everyone😊
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
And Twitter? First, it went all mushy over Juliana’s story. And then? Then, they marshalled detective skills that would put Sherlock Holmes to shame.
1. From Cali, with love!

2. Some prayer seeking divine intervention never hurt!
God I hope this girl find this boy, (Even though I'm jealous cause he's so freaking handsome lol) but God seriously, help this girl to find him, amen. pic.twitter.com/OXDj4ay0rM

3. Dedication!
IM LITERALLY LOOKING ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA

4. Can we have some applause for this brilliant idea?
What day was this taken? You could find him by checking the posts on Instagram with the location tagged as the Eiffel Tower

5. Failure is a stepping stone for success. We’ll get there!
after an extensive Facebook search there was literally 6 Gavin’s in Paris during this time frame and none of them are the boy in the vid 😭

You know how they say the darkest time of the night comes just before dawn? After two days of search ops, Twitter finally found Gavin! In fact, not just Gavin, they found his mother too!
Someone found his mother’s Instagram account. She even had pictures from their trip to the Eiffel Tower and Gavin was in them!
https://twitter.com/glisteningroses/status/950806168825483264
But the most amazing thing was that somehow this whole hullabaloo managed to reach Gavin’s neighbour! Can you imagine the odds?
THIS IS HIM HE USE TO BE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR LET YOUR LOVE THRIVE pic.twitter.com/zgyhHmINl1

But the universe played a twisted game and ruined everyone’s happiness. Apparently, our hero Gavin here was already taken. He had a girlfriend and Twitter was NOT HAPPY.
1. *Death stare*
when I saw he has a girlfriend pic.twitter.com/QMcHfyldig
— 𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚓𝚒𝚕 ♡ (@tanjilnewkirk) January 9, 2018
2. Uh uh!
Y'all he has a Girlfriend… Men ain't shit once again. pic.twitter.com/S1npdUlY0m
— Jules. (@spycharmed) January 9, 2018
But Juliana, ever the romantic, remained unfazed by this discovery. While she was glad that Gavin was found and thanked everyone who helped, she urged them all to not spread the hate and let the boy live in peace.
So I saw that u guys found Gavin hahah and whether he has a girlfriend or not, I would just like to thank everyone for finding him and being so supportive. If you guys wouldn’t mind please to not bother him or his mom, I would hate to disrupt their lives too much
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018
If there’s anything this short-lived romance proves, it is that Twitter needs to take a bow!
this thread is wild.
like, I truly believe that the inspectors in this thread could collectively find & cure cancer within 24 hours if someone made a post asking for a cure.
😂Y'all wasting y'all investigative talents.
