how well do we know each other?

the bf and i played a sort-of newlydate game, where we try to match up our answers of our partner's preferences to what they would actually put down. out of 30 questions, we matched only 10, and some of those were just gimmes.

my favorites:
1. celebrity crush: beyonce
the bf: "that girl in that one movie we watched"
4. enemy: pigs aka cops
the bf: "ignorance"
5. favorite way to have potatoes: fries
the bf: "baked with s&p, olive oil, thyme, & oregano"
7. favorite body part: butt, on others; chicken legs, on him
the bf: "cerebral cortex"
9. lucky number: 9
the bf: "phi"

who answers cerebral cortex when you ask them what their favorite body part is? furthermore, whose favorite number is phi, a number i didn't even know existed? what's wrong with the number 9? that girl in that one movie we watched? how could i make this stuff up? how could i have been so wrong?

it hurts me to think that we would lose at this game because the bf is an overthinker. or that maybe we don't know each other like we think we do. hey, i know most of the important things about him. like his penchant for black boxers, and that he can tile a shower, and that he shaves on sundays. so it took me a year of pretending to know his last name and trying to figure it out via his voicemail message to actually learn it. it's all moot.
