February 5th, and you know what that means: couple number 5! (I’m not gonna lie, the Mambo No. 5 tune just started playing in my head)
When interviewing our fifth Cute Campus Couple, there was a moment in which we thought Jane the Virgin who? Telenovelas ain’t got nothing on these two! When asked the questions we’ve come up with for this series, they had only wonderful things to say about each other, and we hope you love the answers as much as we did.
Here are their lovely faces:
Cute Campus Couple
Jakym D. Morales & Tiffany Rodriguez
How’d you two meet?
TR: We met at La Placita de los Vientos in the Faculty of Social Sciences. He was reading The Iliad, and I love Greek mythology… so, I had to say hello!
How long have you been together?
TR: We’ve been together for 2 years and 3 months!
What was the first thing you noticed about each other?
TR: Like, physical?
Her Campus: Yep! But, both physical and personality-wise are fine.
JM: The short black hair and those big brown eyes. And, that she’s a fighter with an opinion.
TR: Well, if it’s physical, the way he laughed. His eyes would wrinkle, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. I still do. I also admire his determination and his passion.
What makes your relationship work?
TR: I think what makes our relationship work is that we consider each other not only as boyfriend/girlfriend but also as friends. Do you agree?
JM: We learned that it takes time to get to know each other and that you can’t just be partners; it needs to be so much more. Most important of all: communication and time. This is not a race to be the best or most perfect couple of human beings. We have flaws, and we learn them.
One word to describe your partner.
TR: Awe.
JM: Transcendent.
Now we know, if you ever see someone you find cute reading something you like, say something! Who knows what could happen? If you have a meet-cute story, share it with us on Twitter. <3
