It's not every day that you hear of someone falling in love with a stranger they met online, but that's exactly what happened to Clariz. She had been playing League of Legends when she struck up a friendship with Philippe, a 24-year-old from Lyon. They started chatting on Discord in 2019 and after two years of talking, they decided to meet in person.
The only catch? Clariz had never even seen a picture of Philippe. Despite this, she wasn't worried about flying the 569 miles from her home in Venice to meet him. And when they finally laid eyes on each other for the first time, sparks flew.
Now, almost three years later, they are still very much in love and are making their long-distance relationship work. Clariz admits that she never thought their love story would actually happen in real life. It feels like something straight out of a movie.
When they first met, Clariz had no idea what Philippe looked like. They bonded over their love for the fantasy battle game, but it was purely platonic at first. It wasn't until Clariz took a solo trip to France in 2021 that things started to change. Philippe offered to be her tour guide and she wasn't scared at all. In fact, she was excited and felt free.
Even though they were just friends at the time, Clariz says not knowing what Philippe looked like didn't bother her. But on the train to meet him, he sent her a photo so she would know who to look for at the station. And when she saw his handsome face, she was smitten.
Their first meeting was filled with romance as they spent the weekend together, flirting, visiting museums, hiring a boat, and enjoying delicious meals. By the end of the trip, they were holding hands and sneaking kisses in a photo booth. Philippe says they became even closer during the weekend and saying goodbye was difficult. They both knew they wanted to see each other again.
And that's exactly what they did. A few weeks later, Philippe traveled to Vienna to see Clariz again. While they were there, he asked her to officially be his girlfriend in front of a beautiful fountain. From then on, they maintained a long-distance relationship and are now planning to finally move in together this year. Philippe will be relocating to Vienna.
Some people may have called Philippe "crazy" for falling in love with someone who lives in another country, but their love has proved everyone wrong. Their relationship is stronger than ever and they are excited for their future together.
Their love story has captured the hearts of many, with people commenting on a TikTok video about their story and asking when the movie will be released. Others have proclaimed their love for the couple and some have even joked about it being a plotline for a horror movie.
But for Clariz and Philippe, their love story is one of hope and true love. They have shown that anything is possible, even falling in love with a stranger online. Do you have a similar story to share? We'd love to hear it. Get in touch by emailing us.
