Hi! I’m Justice and I have a boyfriend. His name is Kyle. He’s a nice guy. He’s also helped me learn a lot of things about love, life and living it to the fullest.
Q1: How long have you been together?
This summer will make five years!
Q2: Who asked who out?
Now Kyle will tell this story on our wedding day so I’ll just come out and say that I said no. Three times to be exact. We met when I was fourteen and the idea of boys and love and other things, especially with my very low self-esteem, seemed foreign and weird. It was different to have a guy who I didn’t even really know call me beautiful and gorgeous and the smartest person he knew.
I think it’s also important to note that I was scared. Looking back, I think it’s okay to be scared when you want to try something new. It gives you a chance to have perspective, to look through different lenses and make sure this is what you want to do. After looking through those lenses, I knew what I wanted was him. And he stuck.
Q3: Do you have any children together?
We absolutely do not. Not that children won’t come in later. I won’t be having my own children actually, which he is fine with.
Q4: What about pets?
Sadly no, but we plan to adopt a dog whenever we get our first apartment.
Q5: Who said I love you first?
Kyle told me he loved me two weeks after we started dating. TWO WEEKS. Let me remind you I was freshly 15 and he was 16 and the fact that he said that I think I almost hyperventilated if I remember correctly. To this day he swears he loved me from the jump, which is why he said it, but I can openly admit that I did not love him when we first met. It took me some time to truly love him, in every way, on every level.
No one you meet will ever be perfect and I’m sorry to say, ladies, the perfect man is not out there. But who is out there is the perfect man for you. And it’s okay to not love him at first. Kye was my complete opposite, super tall, goofy as all get out and had an ego to match. It took time for me to fully love him but when I finally said it, I meant it with everything that I had, and I still do. I love you is not a pickup line or something you say out of obligation. You should say it if you mean it. If you don’t mean it, then don’t say it.
Q6: Who is the most sensitive?
Oh, that’s where I come in. I am a very sensitive person. The kind who cries for people I don’t know and wants to save every orphan on the planet. He can be sensitive, but mostly he’s my rock and we balance each other quite nicely.
On a note to that, being sensitive is not ever, under any circumstance, a bad thing. Sensitivity is connected to empathy and empathy makes the world go round. If you are ever with a boy who tells you that you’re “too sensitive”, then tell him he sucks and find someone else. He doesn't deserve you.
Q7: Where do you eat out most at?
Olive Garden would have to be the answer or Panera. We eat a lot of carbs and pasta. That is because pasta is my favorite food and weakness and he’s a football player that weighs 300 pounds so the endless pasta bowl is amazing.
Q8: Who's older?
He’s 13 months older than me which is something he attempts to hold over my head every now and then. It doesn’t work.
Q9: Who has the worst temper?
Considering the fact that we both are stubborn as they come, it would be both of us if we swear by all that is mighty that we’re right. I mean...woman are always right...right?
Q10: Who is more social?
I'd say we're both pretty social. We’re both really involved in stuff so that helps. It’s important in every relationship to have relationships outside of your romantic one. It’s a balance that without it, your romantic relationship can suffer. I love my boyfriend but sometimes I can’t stand him. Like I could strangle him sometimes. So friends and activities are good.
Q11: Who is the neat freak?
That would be me. I’m an avid cleaner. I’m talking Clorox wipes, Swiffer, sweep, vacuum, pledge. Flu season ain’t got nothin’ on me. I’m always ready.
Q12: Who's the most romantic one?
Oh, that’s me again, man I am on a roll. I will give it to him though, he tries to be all I imagine. It’s important for women our age to be appreciative. Your man will never be able to give you exactly what you want because woman and men do not think alike in the love department. Him offering to go to your favorite place to eat or let you watch Hulu instead of him getting to play Madden are some of the biggest gestures he has to offer. Love and cherish every one.
Q13: Who is the most stubborn?
As I said before, it’s both...he can be worse though. (When he reads this he’s going to die)
Q14: Who wakes up earliest?
LOL Him. He always gets up before me and has to come wake me up usually. Or he’ll rub my back and wake me up and offer food. This is real people.
Q15: Who's the funniest?
Oh, he is. I mean I’m funny but Kyle just has this way with people. He doesn’t believe me but people love him. He’s infectious.
Q16: Where was your first date?
The good ole movie theater. I don’t really remember the movie though because...well..we were...uhm... a bit distracted.
Q17: Who has the biggest family?
It’s a tie.
Q18: Do you get flowers often?
No, but I get food and that’s what really matters.
Q19: How long did it take to get serious?
The fact that I even had a boyfriend was serious. I guess thinking, about a year is when I knew he was the one.
Q20: Who is the first one to admit when they're wrong?
I would have to say it’s hard for both of us, so both of us do. It’s important in our relationship that we communicate at all times and don’t hold back. We have a new thing where if one of us is mad we say whether we’re “big mad” or “little mad” and then talk about it and resolve it. We don’t see the point in fighting over anything anymore which shows how we’re starting to become even more mature than before.
Q21: Who wears the pants in the family?
Neither of us.
Q22: Who eats more sweets?
Him, usually.
Q23: Most sarcastic?
That would be me with my “smart mouth” as he would call it.
Q24: Who hogs the covers?
HIM. I’M OUT IN ANTARCTICA WHILE HE’S ALL COZY IN A BUNGALOW BY THE SEA.
Q25: Who’s the better driver?
If you asked him this, he would say him. I’m going to go with him for once.
Q26: Where is the furthest you two have traveled together?
Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, where dreams come true.
Q27: Who drives when you are together?
9 times out of 10 he drives because I would just rather not and he prefers to.
