Things you should know about your partner?

13-10-2012 11:01pm#1Hi,
Just looking for some female input here. I'm putting a kind of scrapbook together for my girlfriend for our anniversary (I'm getting other gifts too, but this would mean the most to her). It's not your typical type of scrapbook though. What I'm doing is listing questions and answering them to show that I really know her and listen to her. It's the type of thing she'd find sweet.
I've been stuck trying to think of things I should know. I got to about 20 and then I just hit writers block. From a ladies point of view, what would you like/expect your partner to know about you?
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply

As I'm drinking a cup now it springs to mind - How I like my tea!
Nice idea
This made me laugh.
Together four years this Monday, and only recently down in his parents the OH discovered I like one sugar in my tea.
He's been putting two in all this time!
OP other things:
Favourite drink
Favourite movie
Funny opinions
Memories of the two of you together, first date, special times etc?0 -

Great idea op, well done.
How about, her most embarrassing moment in college, work, relationship....
The time she REALLY wished the ground would open up and swallow her, (i have a few of those!!!!)
The most fun filled day,weekend, holiday she has had either with you or her girl friends.
The first time her parents got really annoyed with her for either drinking,boyfriends,dossing school etc.
Some of her bucket list, dream holiday, dream adventure, job, home, car etc.
Finally asking how happy, content and safe she is with you, maybe leave her answer that
Well done on doing something original and creative, ur a keeper 0 -

I actually do know what moisturiser she uses
This gave me another idea. Questions about make up and hair care products.
All the suggestions so far have been great. Thanks so much 0 -

Bra size

Bra size ?
What?
I obviously read the op wrong, sorry OP, thought it was like Mr and Mrs where you answer questions about her typically, bra size, not many men know the answer. What news story makes her cry, is it about animals or babies etc, we all have one subject that upsets us.
Re the engagement would she prefer to be surprised or not ? Would think its one of the important things to know.0 -

You're not the only one - I'd hate it, too, tbh.
Each to their own, though!
OP I don't really have any suggestions - but I know that these sort of questions are often asked as part of hen party games - so you could try googling "hen party questions" or something, to get more ideas for possible questions, maybe? 0 -

You're not the only not liking the scrapbook idea. I considered making one for herself a few times, but I was concerned I would get something wrong. Also to be honest, I didnt have the happiest of teenage years, so if I got a scrap book with pictures of me from back then, Im not sure how happy I would be.
So your not the only one 0 -

May I ask what you would find so uncomfortable? I can understand somebody possibly not especially liking it as a gift but -uncomfortable? 0 -

Not directed towards me, but to give my 2c - I'd feel uncomfortable that my boyfriend would feel the need to demonstrate to me the fact that he knows me. I'd feel weird that it seemed he felt the need to prove something like that to me. Surely it should be a given? That if you're in a relationship, you'd know that sort of stuff about your girlfriend/boyfriend?
That's just me though.
I understand that some girls might find this sort of thing sweet - it's not for me, though.0 -

I'd agree with chatterpillar, why would he feel the need to demonstrate this? I dunno, a lot of 'romantic' things make me feel uncomfortable. Anything that feels contrived. I feel bad posting this, I don't want to offend the OP, it definitely seems to be something that the majority would find sweet though!0 -

Aren't all the best presents a demonstration of knowing someone?dearg lady wrote: »I'd agree with chatterpillar, why would he feel the need to demonstrate this? I dunno, a lot of 'romantic' things make me feel uncomfortable. Anything that feels contrived
Gosh, I don't know -I don't think there's anything contrived about making a special effort to make your loved one happy.
I thought perhaps the reason was that you'd feel uncomfortable being made the focus of so much attention0 -

But usually in a less blunt way!
I think you are right also about being the focus of attention, that is another thing that would make me uncomfortable.Gosh, I don't know -I don't think there's anything contrived about making a special effort to make your loved one happy.

Maybe contrived is the wrong word. Most things that are 'typically' romantic make me feel uncomfortable0 -

We played a similar version of this at my hen party. I had to answer questions about himself (if I got one wrong I had to do a shot etc) and my friends were raging because I got every question right even the most obscure stuff! I told them they should have asked him questions about me and I know for a fact he wouldn't have a clue what my favourite book / movie / colour / childhood pet was. What I also know is that I know I don't care. He knows I hate doing housework so he does loads of it and he knows I like a lie in on a Saturday so he gets up with the child and many, many other thoughtful things like that.
Slightly off topic there
Does she have any interesting quirks?
Special shared memories between the 2 of you?
What about your hopes for your future together? (too serious maybe?)0 -
