Real Stories: How We Met Online and Fell in Love in Georgia

Online dating can feel like a gamble, but for many couples in Georgia, it has led to something beautiful — real, lasting love. From unexpected swipes to virtual connections that turned into in-person sparks, these stories prove that sometimes, your soulmate is just one message away.

Here are a few inspiring real-life love stories from people who met online and built relationships in Georgia.

❤️ Nini & Giorgi – A Match Over Books and Coffee

Nini, a literature student in Tbilisi, matched with Giorgi on a Georgian dating app. What caught her attention? His profile photo — holding a book by Kafka.

“Our first conversation was about our favorite authors. We talked for hours,” says Nini. “Two weeks later, we met at a café near Vera Park. It felt like I had known him forever.”

Now, two years later, they live together and run a small online book club.

💙 Lika & Max – A Foreign Match That Crossed Borders

Lika, from Kutaisi, matched with Max, a German expat living in Tbilisi, on Tinder. Their connection was instant — even with some language challenges.

“He didn’t speak Georgian, and my English was basic,” Lika laughs. “But we used Google Translate and heart emojis a lot.”

After six months of dating, they took a road trip across Georgia — from Svaneti to Batumi. Max later proposed in Signagi, the City of Love.

💬 Ana & Irakli – Friends First, Then Something More

Ana and Irakli met through Instagram when he replied to one of her travel stories. They chatted occasionally for months but never met — until a shared friend invited them both to the same party.

“I didn’t even know what he looked like in real life,” Ana recalls. “But the moment we met, there was chemistry.”

Now they call themselves “accidental lovers.” They’ve been together for three years and are planning a wedding in 2026.

💛 Tiko & Mari – Love Knows No Gender

Tiko and Mari met on a queer-friendly app during the lockdown. In a society where LGBTQ+ dating still faces stigma, their connection was both exciting and challenging.

“We started with late-night video calls,” says Mari. “We were each other’s safe space.”

They finally met in person at a small gallery event in Tbilisi and now live openly, supporting LGBTQ+ causes and safe dating spaces in Georgia.
