Love Stories the PAAR way

#1 What is special about the place you’ve chosen for the interview?
This is our favorite gym in Belgrade where we spend every day of the week- one and only Morphosis.

#2 How did you meet? Who did the first step?
We met over a mutual friend related to work. Boris took over 100 first steps. Persistence does pay off ;-)

#3 Was it love at first sight?
Nope, but it was mutual respect, support, understanding, and friendship at first sight.  

#4 What is the key to a happy life as a PAAR?
Great communication, honesty, time apart and growing both as a couple and personally. There is him, me and the relationship and all three have different needs and wants.  

#5 Do you believe in unconditional and endless love? As you know, Lovebirds stay together with the same partner for a lifetime.
There is no such thing as unconditional Love although it sounds romantic, it is highly unlikely. Unlike the Lovebirds, mating and eating is not the only driving force for human couples. We believe in having trust, clear emotional boundaries, respect at all times and compromise when necessary.

#6 What was the most colourful moment you’ve walked together in your relationship?
We had lot of colourful moments, but powerful were staying together through bankruptcy, death, illness, and betrayals from close people.  

#7 What is your message to the world?
Becoming truly the strongest version of yourself FIRST and then helping others along the way is a life worth living. Strengthening the individual is the only effective way forward if we are ever to improve and transcend as a civilization.

#1 Who did the first step?

It was not love at first sight, but we definitely had a very special connection as soon as we saw each other. And already some days after we realized, it‘s love.

#3 What is special about your relationship?
we had a lot of first times ;) But this is a very special first time. It‘s my (Giulio) first relationship, so it was the first time I’ve introduced a man to my parents and also Hamid introduced someone for the first time to his mother. So, that’s really special for us.

It‘s special, but it keeps it fresh. Of course it‘s not easy in some moments, but we do our best to make it work.

#1 Where did you meet?
We saw each other for the first time on the basketball court during the team preparations for the European Championship. That year both of us played for the Serbian Basketball national team. We met after practice in the gym.

#2 Who did the first step?
Nemanja. I actually saw him post workout and asked a mutual friend “who’s that tall guy?”. I was lucky he initiated the first actual conversation.

#3 Was it love at first sight?
Yes, we just clicked. It was mutual attraction at first sight and from that day forward we made an effort to be together despite the distance, the schedule and all of the odds.

#4 Jasmina, you live in Belgrade and Nemanja you live in Hungary. How do you manage the distance?
Obviously long distance is difficult especially during ups and downs, and just not being together in these situations. On the other hand it also helps with giving yourself ‘me’ time, building trust and not feeling like your own life is suffering due to you relationship.

#5 What is special about your relationship?
Understanding, no gender roles and trust. We respect each others personality and we do empower each other through all ups and downs while still evolving as individuals first and than growing as a couple.

#6 Do you believe there is unconditional and endless love?
Yes, but we also believe that love evolves as our own personalities do. After 12 years we still choose each other to give love to, unconditionally, every single day. We are soulmates, best friend and wife and husband.

#7 What was the most colourful moment you have walked together in your relationship?
We paint each step with colour. Sometimes they are bright and fun, sometimes they are dull and cold, but without all these colours we wouldn’t have this life as it is.

#8 Your favorite PAAR Socks is PAARvögel. Why?
There is no reason, it’s simply the design we like the most - funky and bonding as we both are.

#1 Why is it so special to have a sister?
We think that every girl who has a sister knows how big and special this Love is. You know it is a relationship you will never ever lose. Simply, the feeling of never being alone. Having a sister is one of the biggest gifts you can get.

#2 What was the most colourful moment in your life?
We had many colorful moments as we know each other for more than 30 years ;-) But the older we get the more conscious we walk together through life and feel every moment as special. The colourful moments we remember the most are those, when we’ve brought light into each other's lives when it was dark. That light is the colour and makes moments stay forever as unforgettable memories

#3 What does Valentine’s day mean to you as sisters?
As sisters it doesn't mean much. But...we expect the sister's partner to do something nice for her that day. With her he already got the greatest gift and that day he should show his gratitude and love to her.

#4 How do you celebrate your love?
We show love to each other every day with a good morning message.

#5 What is your message to the world?
We are able to see colors and to feel deep love. Open your eyes and catch these beautiful moments.
