Cute Campus Couple
Luis Méndez & Félix Sambrana
How’d you two meet?
FS: Okay.
They both laugh.
LM: Now that’s a story.
FS: This story, esta historia está algarete. I met him because he was going out with my ex.
Her Campus: Oh!
FS: Yeah! My ex and I were on and off, and at that moment we were off, so my ex was going out with him. And… That’s how we met!
LM: On our first date (his ex and me).
FS: Yeah… It was like two years after that we had left each other for good (my ex and me), and we decided to go out, and here we are!
LM: During that, we had been friends for a long time, and we noticed we were very much alike.
How long have you been together?
FS: Actually, starting tomorrow, 2 years!
HC: Ah! Congrats!
FS: Thanks!
What was the first thing you noticed about each other?
FS: Honestly, your hair.
LM: Well, considering the circumstances in which we met, the hate in his eyes.
FS: Well, yeah, I mean, I was jealous. You were with my ex whom I still liked.
HC: Well, we did interview another couple that hated each other at first, and now they’re going strong.
FS: See? Except, gotta admit, our situation was pretty f**ked up.
LM: Obviously!
What makes your relationship work?
FS: Honestly, I think that what makes our relationship work is how in sync we are with each other. We understand each other very well. I mean, if… It’s that we’re so alike that we’re normally in the same vibes and state of being. We like the same things, we dislike the same things…
LM: For example, sometimes I can be thinking something, I say it, and then he says he was thinking the same thing.
FS: And in the weird times when we’re not in sync, we always reach a middle ground or meet halfway.
One word to describe your partner.
FS: One word that describes you? I think that comprehensive. It’s that you know I’m always dying from anxiety or whatever, and you’re always… I don’t know how or where you get all the patience you have, but, you have to be comprehensive.
LM: Neither do I. Hmm… I think the word I would use would be a**hole in a good way because tú te las traes a veces, but it’s good. I’m one too.
FS: At what level would you put me?
LM: Well, if we had to do a scale from 1-10, maybe a 7. 10 is intolerable and 5 is everybody.
Happy two year anniversary Luis & Felix! <3
