The Love Meme

The Love meme. We found this over at Through Thick N Thin or maybe over at Driven To Distraction. Here are my answers, though you're probably better off checking my girlfriend's answers at A Blog In The Rough since she's always right.

♥ What are your middle names?
My family were too poor to afford middle names. Hers are Louise and Laura.

♥ How long have you been together?
I think we've been officially together since July 18th, though since then we've not been together at all.

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We knew each other since last November online, and we first met in real life on July 11th, so eight months or thereabouts.

♥ Who asked who out?
Fortunately I think we managed to avoid the asking out part (which I suck at) all together.

♥ How old are each of you?
I'm as old as dirt and she's thirty-four.

♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most?
Mine. She doesn't have siblings, whereas so far she's seen a whole photo of my sister.

♥ Do you have any children together?
No. Not yet anyway.

♥ What about pets?
She has, along with her mom, three dogs, three cats, and a bird. I've not got any.

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
That would be living on different continents.

♥ Did you go to the same school?
No, although one of her schools had my name in it.

♥ Are you from the same home town?
No, not even the same home country.

♥ Who is the smartest?
She's way more qualified than me and can spot VW beetles; I'm better at remembering where I put things and understand the metric system; so I guess it about evens out.

♥ Who is the most sensitive?
I suspect she is.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
That would be Delaware, although we've not eaten out as a couple much.

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
I'm guessing Washington, either that or our infinite journey out of a parking garage in Baltimore, but my geography's lousy so you're best checking her blog to see if I'm right.

♥ Who has the worst temper?
I'll say her, though I've yet to see any signs of such.

♥ Who does the cooking?
I think she's winning because she once heated me up the remains of a chinese meal, but it's still early days.

♥ Who is more social?
I'm sure that's her.

♥Who is the neat Freak?
Neither of us.

♥ Who is the more stubborn?
I suspect that would be her.

♥ Who hogs the bed?
I suspect it would be her dogs.

♥ Who wakes up earlier?
Me, but I've got timezones on my side.

♥ Where was your first date?
Well, she whisked me away to Ocean City for the day, so I guess that would be it.

♥ Who has the bigger family?
It's way too late at night for me to try and figure that out. I don't think there's a lot in it either way.

♥ Do you get flowers often?
No, and I've never gotten her flowers. I had plans to send her some flowers after my vacation with her, to thank her for the happiest week of my life, but then she dropped the bombshell in Washington that she'd been a florist for a year and I should never get her flowers.

♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Apart, mostly; boo hoo. Though I'm planning to be there to see in the New Year with her.

♥ Who is more jealous?
That would be me, because she doesn't get jealous (and because I do).

♥ How long did it take to get serious?
Well, she asked me over to see her in a nice platonic way about six months after we'd first talked online, and then we both sort of pointed out that we really liked each other and things snowballed.

♥ Who eats more?
That would be me.

♥ Who does/ did the laundry?
She's washed a towel of mine, so she's currently winning there.

♥ Who’s better with the computer?
Hard to say. I'm a computer programmer by trade so I think I'm better, though she probably knows she's better.

♥ Who drives when you are together?
She does. I can't drive myself so it avoids a lot of crashes if she's at the wheel.
