General
swiped from 
. I like these things. Comparing my boyfriend and I.
1. Who eats more?
Hard to tell. I snack frequently (okay, CONSTANTLY) throughout the day, in small portions. M. goes looooong stretches without eating, and sits down to meals that would equal literally three or even four of my portion sizes. E.G. When he eats rice and beans he'll eat a half cup of rice and an ENTIRE can of black beans in one sitting. Oh, we are poor, by the way.
2. Who said “I love you” first?
Honestly, I cannot remember.
3. Who is the morning person?
I used to be a morning person, but I've worked afternoon/evening/overnight jobs for a good two years now and I rarely wake up before 10. M. has to be up early for work. He is also, I might add, one of an extremely rare segment of Americans who does not use caffeine. I am a habitual tea drinker, but my caffeine dependency is unclear an subject to close scrutiny.
4. Who sings better?
I think I might have a more natural "pretty" voice when it can be coaxed out of me, but M. has far and away more pitch control and better training. I'll give this one to him, and after a night out for Karaoke with us both, I'm sure you'll also agree. M. Loves Karaoke. I like it when I do it with him.
5. Who’s older?
I'm 24, he's 23.
6. Who’s smarter?
This is a stupid question.
7. Whose temper is worse?
HOLY SHIT mine. My whole family is notoriously sensitive, impatient and short fused. He's more passive/aggressive, I'm more aggressive/aggressive.
8. Who does the laundry?
We do our own laundry.
9. Who does the dishes?
We both pitch in, but since I'm home most of the time I do more of them. I don't mind.
10. Who sleeps on what side of the bed?
I sleep close to the wall.
11. Whose feet are bigger?
Uh........
12. Whose hair is longer?
Usually mine. I hate spending money on haircuts, though I love getting them
13. Who’s better with the computer?
He definitely is. His job is teaching immigrants/ex-offenders to be computer-literate.
14. Do you have pets?
No. He wants a dog. I want cats/bunnies/hedgehogs.
15. Who pays the bills?
We split down the middle. Our bills are included in the rent.
16. Who cooks dinner?
We usually cook separately, though I cook for both of us more often than he does. I take great pleasure in cooking, but he sees it a as a bit of another chore. (I think I'm a better cook, but I don't think that should be something anyone should hold against anyone else).
17. Who drives when you are together?
I'm the only one with a car.
18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
Split.
19. Who’s the most stubborn?
UHHHHHHHHHH We are both really stubborn. I'm tempted to say that M. is. We are probably neck-and-neck though.
20. Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong?
Uh...
21. Whose family do you see more?
Nowadays, we see his since my family is still in the South but we live in the Midwest (M.'s family is from the far-west Chicago suburbs), though I am very close to my mom and dad and try to see them as often as I can. I love them so much ;,;
22. Who named your pet?
We don't have a pet, though we both agree that you can't go wrong naming a dog after a food item/preparation. It's always cute. My friends at Angel's BBQ in Savannah, GA have had cats named Lunchbox (rip), Mirepoix (onions, carrots+celery soup base), Cornichon (french for gherkin pickle) and Sourdough.
23. Who kissed who first?
He kissed me u.u
24. Who asked who out?
He asked me out in front of his student house in France.
25. What did you do on your first date?
Our mutual friend knowingly ditched us at an old-school Soviet themed dive-bar called the Politburo in the Marais (Paris' gay quater). We had beer flavored with pistachio syrup and talked and talked and walked back to our hotel in a daze.
26. Who’s more sensitive?
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
27. Who’s taller?
M. is way taller.
28. Who has more friends?
Hmmmmmm.......
29. Who has more siblings?
M. has three siblings including a half-brother and a fraternal twin. I'm an only child.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
Since I've followed him to two cities across America, I'll say that he does.
