When Juliana Corrales went to Paris, she wanted to make sure she kissed someone atop the Eiffel Tower. Since she didn't have a boyfriend, she wound up recruiting a stranger, who happily obliged.
Later, she turned to Twitter to track down that mystery man, but her story didn't exactly have the happy ending she was hoping for.
Here's what went down:

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😂

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😊

So Twitter did it's thing and the hunt was on for Juliana's lip locking buddy.
What day was this taken? You could find him by checking the posts on Instagram with the location tagged as the Eiffel Tower

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 😭

Eventually someone found his mom's Instagram which had on it photos of Juliana and Gavin! It seemed meant to be, but then other amateur Internet detectives claimed to have found evidence on Facebook that Gavin had a girlfriend.
It led to more questions than answers.
He’s been inactive on social media for like a year and his supposed gf doesn’t have him as a relationship back so it could just be an old relationship

Evidence please. That can explain why the mom wanted them to kiss again. She wanted a photo of them 😂moms don't do that if they know their son is seeing someone, do they?.... pic.twitter.com/EqbIZS2VJ0

But his mom told you to kiss him again....maybe it's the wrong Gavin. pic.twitter.com/8dhGR5DZ0y

In the end, Juliana had to call off the dogs, thanking the Internet for finding Gavin but asking everyone to back off of her Paris paramour and his mother.
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

So much for a fairy tale ending.
