Alright, so I decided to put together a ‘bf gf quiz’ the other day. You know how it is, sometimes you just want to do something a bit different, maybe stir the pot a little, but in a fun way. I’d seen a bunch of these things floating around online, but most of them felt super generic, like they were churned out by a robot.
My Grand Plan (Sort Of)
So, I figured, why not make my own? Something a bit more personal, you know? The first thing I did was just sit down and think. What kind of questions would actually be interesting, or funny, or even a little bit revealing? I didn’t want it to be like an exam, that’s for sure. The goal was just to have a laugh and maybe, just maybe, see how well we actually knew some of the silly little details about each other.
I grabbed a trusty old notepad – yeah, I still use pen and paper for brainstorming, call me old-fashioned. I started jotting down categories in my head:
- Favourites: Not just color or food, but like, favorite obscure movie quote, or favorite way to waste time.
- Memories: Little things, like “What was the first meal I ever cooked for you?” (if I dared to ask that one, haha).
- Hypotheticals: “If I had a secret stash of a million dollars, what’s the first thing I’d buy?”
- Pet Peeves: Always a good one for a bit of playful jabbing.
- Dreams/Aspirations: The slightly deeper stuff, but still keeping it light.
Crafting the Questions
Coming up with the actual questions was the fun part. I tried to think of things that weren’t just a yes/no answer. I wanted some explanation, some story behind it. For instance, instead of “Do I like dogs?”, it was more like “If we got a dog, what breed would I secretly want and what disaster would I be most worried about it causing?” You get the idea. Making them specific to us was key.
I aimed for a good mix – some easy ones to build confidence, some that required a bit more thought, and a few that were just downright silly. I probably ended up with about 20-25 questions. I didn’t want it to drag on forever.
I literally just wrote them down on a piece of paper. No fancy app, no online quiz maker. Just two columns, one for “His Guesses About Me” and one for “My Guesses About Him,” with the questions in the middle. Or rather, we each got a sheet to fill out about the other person.
The Big Quiz Night
Then came the “execution” phase. We just picked an evening, poured a drink, and sat down to fill them out. The rule was: no peeking and be honest! It was actually quite funny watching each other ponder over the questions. Lots of furrowed brows and sneaky smiles.
Comparing answers was where the real gold was. Some we got spot on, which was nice – a little pat on the back for paying attention! Others were hilariously off. We had a good laugh about the misconceptions and the wildly different interpretations of some memories. For example, my idea of my “dream holiday” was apparently way more adventurous than he thought!
There were a few “Oh, you REMEMBER that?!” moments, which were genuinely sweet. And a few “You seriously think THAT of me?!” moments, but all in good fun. No scores, no winners or losers. That wasn’t the point.
What I Reckon Now
Looking back, it was a pretty simple thing to do, but it was genuinely a good time. It wasn’t about testing the relationship or anything heavy like that. It was just a different way to connect, share some laughs, and maybe learn (or re-learn) a few quirks about each other. If you’re thinking of doing one, my main advice is to keep it light and tailor it to your own relationship. Don’t just pull generic questions from the internet – put a little bit of you into it. That’s what makes it worthwhile.
