I Accidentally Found Love In The Metaverse

[@tfmjonny]

Whose cutting onions up in here?! Great video James, really touching and shows the very human side of VRChat that doesn't get covered in content very often. Thank you for making this and wishing you and Dil all the best!!

[@HeyBaile]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time I’m literally crying. Thanks for sharing this amazing story

[@VREmirate]

I've seen documentaries like 'We met in VR' but this one is really cool becasue it's so personal and told first hand.

[@MsHojat]

Good story telling. Heartwarming video. Hopefully distance isn't a problem.

[@jamesrath]

We live together now (:

[@MazerTime]

Came for love story, left for accessibility in a virtual space story

[@dtupper]

Thanks for sharing your story. Seeing you two find happiness using the thing I work on will keep me going.

[@sonyaschaeublin2564]

This is so touching. I am a vivid vrchat player and I met the love of my life in the metaverse. Have been with him for over 2 years now and never been happier. He has been so supportive as I am strugeling with vision loss. I was diagnosed 2 and half years ago with Autoimmune Retinopathy and I have lost so far about 70% of my vision. I am scared and I felt lost until I met my Boyfriend in Vrchat. So happy for you guys :D

[@turtledude01]

Everyone strives for a connection like this. I hope to one day meet someone to be with forever... and I am 99% sure it will happen thanks to VRChat.

[@darkovinster2754]

This video made me cry. I am so happy for you! Your are such a beautiful soul and a beautiful man. This girl look amazing and you totally deserve each other! Congrats! 🎉❤

[@jamesrath]

You are so kind!! Thank you for the support!!

[@blind_gamer16]

This is just unique. Wow. I am pretty shocked how you managed to find love in the metaverse. Congratulations!

[@jamesrath]

Thanks for watching! Was certainly unexpected - it's funny just all the ways people can cross paths these days.

[@JoshBoykinCyreal]

Amazing. Doing something outside of your comfort zone and trying to meet and bond with new people at the same time is difficult. Meeting Dil and her friends was a stroke of luck, really. Great how that chance encounter and bonding in VR translated into a full relationship later on. This was a great story, and I'm glad you shared it.

[@jamesrath]

Thanks for watching!!

[@pasta6329]

This video is devastatingly underrated, definitely one of the best videos I have watched in a long time.

[@jamesrath]

That means so much!! 😌

[@hyrulexz8719]

this is the whole reason why i love this game so much one minute you make the best-est of friends the next you watch batman beating up homer simpson in a cafe while you have a random cat girl singing while a baby dances on fire i love this game and i will forever will keep doing good man

[@Rockfalldk]

WOW!!!. That brings a smile to my face. What a lovely story.

[@populationone-pinkpwnage2894]

Brings tears to my eyes and smiles. Thank you for sharing

[@jlambs1]

This may be the best video I’ve ever seen. So glad to have found this channel.

[@benpitton7411]

Im just in awe of how good of a story this is

[@hyrulexz8719]

WAFFLE HOUSE AT 2 AM LETTSSSS GOOOOOO

[@karma0plenty571]

This is an amazing video

[@isaacmcburney]

Aw, this is so cool! Wishing you the best in this! One of the good things about VR and being online is getting to find people you wouldn’t’ve otherwise found, and finding the people that get you.

[@StudMuffinthePimp]

Awwww1 This was so good! I love happy endings. As the King of VRChat, I approve of this video.

[@Specter-ms6ge]

Really great video.I am suffering from RP and its nice to see you have fun.

[@LexAnnalyn]

So cute! And fun! Thanks for sharing this with us. (And that thanks goes to both of you, of course.) And here I thought your coolest Metaverse experience was someone playing a ball-related game with you (was that ping pong? Been a while since I watched that video).

[@jamesrath]

Wow!! That interaction from that video actually inspired me to make this video.. I actually had filmed this video last year but projects and life changes took my focus away from long-form videos so this video was on hold all this time. I'm glad to have finally gotten to share this story!

[@hillomrman]

this was so freaking sweet man.

[@Crazydarkside]

This was such a wonderful video, made me a bit emotional by the end Vr chat is a weird weird time, yet I've met people on there and had experiences that I'll never forget

[@dendanil5703]

Im Happy for you, this video shows one of The best outcomes that i ever seen. GL on future.

[@jamesmurray1090]

That was the most beautiful thing I have ever watched

[@jefferinsky4479]

Reminds me of better times, thanks. Great vid ;)

[@delboy6301]

Btw all the sfw avatars people wear aren't what they are using it's just a placeholder to reduce lag

[@jacobdixson6192]

I’m happy for you man I’m glad you found someone, gives hope to the rest of us

[@mc_guff101]

I smiled more watching this video than I have in the past 8 years

[@jamesrath]

Here’s to more smiles 🙏🏻

[@uwau_VT]

So sweet, I'm happy for you guys!

[@medium_latte]

That was the sweetest thing ever. ❤

[@noosphere]

I'm crying. All the best to both of you! I've been playing vrchat sind 2019 and met many beautiful people.

[@ZombieDoll]

I met my current partner in VRChat. We met in real life and have been together over 2 years now! I have spent over 5 years hanging out in virtual reality with people, so I felt this video on an emotional level. I have made irreplaceable connections with people, and have met a lot of VR friends in real life!

[@flufferz7633]

this is such a beautiful and heartwarming look into your adventure, thank you for sharing this with the world!

[@KiLDELTA]

Damn the feels! This is one of the most beautiful vids related to vr chat ever… ❤

[@CJAllen-t5v]

Dude I wish someone like that would walk into my life like how Dil did. You are so lucky, i can’t even explain. This video was amazing, and it taught me that there are good people out there.

[@padawen]

Truly amazing, i wasn't imagining how profound it will go from VR Chat, i wish the best with dill ! Thanx For This Video !

[@MissAnique]

Omg this is so beautifull co grats on finaly meeting someone you could spend time with

[@dumbgames4933]

Incredible. Congrats and gg to ya both :)

[@davidmthekidd]

incredible, I lived a very similar experience in 1999 via aol chatrooms, she became my girlfriend from 1999-2004! I loved every single minute of that experience.

[@BlackCit]

What a sweet video. The editing was insane too!

[@ilovehater2323]

Finally somebody else as visually impaired as I am( I'm known for walking into walls) showing the complications of vr with bad eyes it would be nice to play with someone that can share that rare experience with it would be cool to play with you sometime

Low key thought it was going to be Marky mark's meat puppet metaverse then I saw it was Vrchat & it all made sense.

[@kitzthegamer99]

This is a movie

[@motofo20]

I would find the video very nicely done with a very nice love story

Thank you, Romina!! What was meant to be a silly fun blind social experience video... turned into something much more than I could've predicted! Glad I captured it all!
