Lauren and Felix began working at Lyft in the summer of 2016. Pretty early on they figured out they got along, as friends, really easily. They talked music, bonded at work, admired each other’s style (lol, but seriously) and Lauren would catch Felix staring at her. A year went by where they built their friendship and supported each other’s highs and lows. In hindsight, Lauren always low-key appreciated Felix bringing her a coffee to make her day easier while Felix low-key appreciated Lauren being a sounding board. Even if Lauren and Felix didn’t see it yet, many coworkers saw how good of a match they were. Eventually, things started to shift, and there was the infamous Lyft ride. One fourth of July, they grabbed a Lyft ride to get to the local fireworks. At this point, there hadn’t been any dating discussions although they were flirtatious. Lauren, being the bold one, finally thought she should put it out there. She brought it up, and Felix stated that they either dated or they couldn’t be friends anymore. Lauren thought that was crazy (um, you haven’t even asked me on an official date yet?!) and Felix thought this was how it had to be (he couldn’t be in between - it’s one or the other). Things got tense. After minutes of silence, the Lyft driver cleared his throat and said, “I don’t mean to eavesdrop, BUT, I’ve been around the block and you two seem to care for each other. Give dating a try.” Clarity! After that, Lauren and Felix gave dating a shot, and the rest is history! Lauren is from Minnesota, and Felix is from LA. They currently live in Los Angeles, CA, and they love to explore the city. Lauren still works at Lyft and teaches yoga, and Felix is an instructor of Sociology at the Community College level. Tacos, coffee, The Fab 5, dancing, NY Times, music, plants, grocery shopping, dog sitting the best pitbull Dusty, and movies are some of their favorite things. They adore their family and friends!
