For some people, Valentine's Day, instead of being about romantic notes and candlelit dinners, gets limited to a half-eaten bag of chips and the existential fear of being lonely for another year. The universe intervenes as they prepare to spend another evening reading through sickeningly adorable relationship posts featuring Dua Lipa and Callum Turner twirling at the Eiffel Tower.

The algorithm, fuelled by ridicule, is unyielding in the meantime, offering up engagement rings the size of tiny planets, proposal films, and yet another celebrity soft-launching their perfect relationship. The only companionship visible is a quickly melting tub of ice cream, while even the pigeons outside appear to be flying in amorous pairs.

The cosmos is now writing a Shakespearean sonnet about it rather than merely rubbing it in. It's obvious that Cupid has Wi-Fi and he's using it for streaming someone else's romance.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's romantic moment has worked as a reality check for single people. However, as soon as the post went viral, netizens couldn't stop flooding social media with their reactions. Someone (@rhodebbiebs) on X wrote:

"Me living in Paris + crying in my bed watching this"

For almost a year, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have been enjoying success, jokingly using the world as their third wheel. The couple arrived in Paris before Fashion Week amid engagement rumors, since what would be high couture without a little heartbreak for the single folks?

They reminded everyone that love is real - just not for the single ones - as they whirled beneath the Eiffel Tower, seemingly lifted from a romantic comedy.

Essentially starring in their own romantic comedy, Dua and Callum were captured on camera dancing, kissing, and laughing beneath the dazzling Eiffel Tower in clips shared by many on social media. Fans collectively melted over the sheer amount of cuteness, and naturally, the internet went crazy.

Let us walk you through how netizens have reacted regarding this news!


Here's how netizens have reacted as Dua Lipa and Callum Turner dance at the Eiffel Tower

Someone (@Sauram228) on X commented:

"nah, i am not jealous. *water flowing down my eyes (i am happy for her)"

Another one (@frrrrantic) commented:

"unfortunately, even with all my beauty, I have not gotten to experience this type of love"

Someone (@realonx1) on X wrote:

"i need what they have"

A user (@riya_123456_) commented:

"Ah yes, Dua Lipa and Calum dancing romantically in front of the Eiffel Tower… Meanwhile, I’m here, single, eating Lays, and third-wheeling through my phone screen. Love that for me!"

Another one (@thesuntirade_) hilariously commented with a gif that said:

"Yeah I'm happy for her "

The kind of innocent moment that restored everyone's faith in love was Dua and Callum's charming dance beneath the Eiffel Tower - until reality set in. Netizens were compelled to consider their romantic relationships as Valentine's Day approached.

One individual thought about hoping for something miraculous as well, but they were only able to connect with their own shadow. While the couple swirled in Paris, many wondered when their romantic moment would come, another acknowledged that they were trapped eating Lays while swiping on their phones.

Others adopted a more pensive stance, admitting that fairy-tale love had not yet discovered them despite their seeming charm. Of course, there were also those who wiped away their tears and pretended not to be jealous, saying they were "happy for them." Yes, Valentine's Day is approaching, along with the yearly reminder that although love may be enchanting, it is obviously not on the same timetable for everyone.


As Valentine's Day draws near, we are all caught in a precarious situation where we openly declare that being single is the best (and then cry inside) - until we watch Dua's most recent video - between bittersweet longing and the harsh realities of single life.

The rest of us are merely attempting to figure out how to avoid feeling like third-wheelers from our own reflections while Dua and Callum keep spinning around Paris. Love may be in the air, but for some, it's just another year of eating chocolates shaped like hearts, binge-watching Netflix alone, and trying not to cry while wearing our big hoodie. We hope Cupid is going for a bigger goal this year.
