Meet Alec ’17 and Veronica ’17, another one of our Campus Cutie Couples!

How did you meet? 

VB: We met on Tinder and through mutual friends.

AA: Tinder, a dating app that let’s you swipe right or left. I punched right when I saw Veronica.

 

Who initiated the first kiss? 

VB: Alec did. On New Years Eve at midnight, he made a speech to all his friends about a great year and said, “You want to know what my favorite part is?” That is when he grabbed me and kissed me.

 

How long have you been dating? 

VB: Since January 1 2015, 1 year and 1 month.

AA: Too long… Actually about a year and a month.

 

What has been your most memorable date?

VB: Our first date in December 2014. We went on a road trip to Philadelphia after hanging out a few times. We went to the zoo, dinner and ice skating. I somehow didn’t think it was a date at the time. 

AA: The Snowball. We got to let loose and have fun dancing.

 

What is your favorite thing about your significant other? 

VB: I can’t really just pick one thing, but I would have to say how cute and smart he is. 

AA: Her questionable comments. They are really funny from an engineering perspective.

Who said “I love you” first? 

VB: I did, Alec saw it coming though. 

 

How do you resolve arguments? 

VB: After a few minutes after a fight, we end up just apologizing to each other because we know we didn’t mean it. Fights don’t last long with us.

AA: Depends on the fight. We usually talk for hours and create action items.

 

Do you have any advice to give to new couples? 

VB: Show affection anytime you can. Both people in the relationship will appreciate it and like you more for it. BE HONEST. There really shouldn’t be any secrets in a relationship.

AA: Know that keeping the relationship alive is more important than you. If you only care about yourself, you’re not going to have a great relationship, especially when you fight. 

 

What celebrity couple are your “goals?” 

VB: I can’t think of anyone in particular, but I will always leave Alec hints by tagging him in cute things on Facebook or Twitter. 

AA:  Considering celebrity couples are a lot worse than normal couples, I would not really say there’s a goal there.
