He Went Searching For A Cute Girl He Met On A Flight To Atlanta, But Once The Internet Finally Found Her, She Posted A Response Video And Revealed She Already Has A Boyfriend
Have you ever met someone, started immediately crushing on them, and never saw them again?
One of the places this happens the most often is popular commuting destinations like airports, where people end up in different destinations.
One man went viral in January after his friend decided to see if they could find the girl he fell for on a flight he took last March by posting a video about her on TikTok.
Sometimes, when a stranger positively impacts your life, and you feel the need to see them again, you have to shout into the internet void to find them.
That’s what Gracie (@graciesmalls16) decided to do for her friend Russell, who was searching for a cute girl he met on a flight last year.
“This is my friend, Russell,” wrote Gracie in her viral video.
“He met the love of his life on March 18th, 2023, on a Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Atlanta. A girl named Natalia sat next to him. She is from Long Island, New York, in the Naval Academy in Annapolis, [Maryland]. She has brothers and was visiting family in Colorado. Please help us find Natalia.”
In Gracie’s viral TikTok video, which she posted on January 17th, Russell can be seen dramatically posing, yearning to find Natalia as the song “Pretty Girl From Annapolis” by The Avett Brothers plays in the background.
Gracie’s video earned a lot of likes as viewers commented on their hopes that Russell and Natalia would one day be reunited. Even the viral rapper Yung Gravy commented on the video, asking Gracie and Russell to keep everyone updated on the journey.

Natalia was found after Gracie’s video became very popular and reached over a million likes. Somehow, Gracie’s video had been seen by the very girl her friend was longing for. While it was super special to have found her, they didn’t get the reunion they were hoping for.
Natalia seemingly created a TikTok account (@nataliakhouryy) just so she could respond to Gracie and Russell. In her response video, Natalia can be seen walking beside a guy.
“Hey Russell, It’s Natalia!” she wrote in the caption of her video.
“I remember you, too! I’m really flattered that you still think of me, but I have a boyfriend, and I’m really happy with him. I wish you all the best!”
Just like Russell’s video, Natalia’s went super viral as viewers commented on the unexpected twist to the story.
“He got closure, but at what cost?” commented one TikTok user.
“This is not the ‘part two’ we wanted,” commented another user.
Gracie eventually made a follow-up video explaining that while Russell was seemingly upset, he wished Natalia and her boyfriend the best and would be fine.
Although Russell didn’t get the happy ending he had hoped for, he can at least be thankful the internet gave him some kind of closure.
Is there anyone you’d hope to find on the internet, or should random meetings with strangers stay random? Hang in there, Russell. You’ll find the right girl for you someday!
