Twitter Hunt To Help Girl Find Eiffel Tower Kiss

Skip navigation!

Sometimes, social media really comes through. The most recent example to restore our faith in humanity? A group of strangers on Twitter helped a teenager find a handsome stranger with whom she shared a kiss atop the Eiffel Tower. Hollywood screenwriters, take note of this rom-com worthy plot.

American high-schooler Juliana Corrales, from California, was on holiday in Paris with friends when she shared the touching moment with a young chap named Gavin, but was so flustered that she forgot to ask for his number.

Here's how the situation came about, as she explained on her Twitter account (@juju_corrales).

Understandably, her followers wanted the full lowdown and the lovestruck teen was all too happy to oblige.

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.

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.

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

I explained to him about my pact , and to my dismay he actually agreed to kiss me?
— Juliana Corrales (@juju_corrales) January 9, 2018

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.

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?

All the while, her followers were lapping it up and promptly began searching for the mystery man.

He went to the Eiffel Tower with his mother. His MOTHER!! Girl marry him. Good luck girl. L. I’m in California but I’ll ship him to you if I see him. ?❤️

What day was this taken? You could find him by checking the posts on Instagram with the location tagged as the Eiffel Tower

Eventually, someone tracked him down on Instagram via his mum, who had posted a picture of Gavin on the Pont des Arts, aka the "love lock" bridge – of all places – and various Paris-inspired hashtags. Oh, the wonders of social media!

YOOO HOMEGIRL I don’t know you! But message his mom, I found him ?? pic.twitter.com/Kyz8XZCAYs

But after a bit more digging on other forms of social media, there was an unexpected plot twist. Alas, the pair may have met in the City of Love but when judging from his own Facebook and Instagram accounts, he probably already has a girlfriend.

Y'all he has a Girlfriend... Men ain't shit once again. pic.twitter.com/S1npdUlY0m

Juliana graciously accepted the news and thanked everyone for helping her.

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

But some wouldn't accept it, offering up glimmers of hope that he might actually be single because he hadn't updated his accounts for a while. We suppose there's also a chance his girlfriend has noticed the worldwide furore over her boyfriend kissing someone else and, er, dumped him for cheating.
