First dates are meant for you to really get to know someone, and see if they're a good fit for you. So, get out there and start asking questions that are really going to let you get to know someone.

1. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Right off the bat, you are going to learn the priorities and goals of this person and decide if this is a person whose goals align with yours.

2. What was your last birthday wish?

This is going to tell you the thing they think that has not been fulfilled in their life.

3. How do you handle your finances?

Obviously you are going to want to know if they are good with their money or not.

4. What do you do in times of stress?

This lets you know what their expectations are of loved ones when they are stressed out.

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

This will let you know how well your sleeping habits align.

6. How do you relax after a hard day's work?

You're going to find out if you guys share the same ideas of what is relaxing.

7. How do you like to spend your free time?

This gives you a good idea what future dates might look like.

8. What is your relationship with your parents like?

How they view their relationship with their parents says plenty about how they're going to view their relationship with you.

9. What is your biggest fear?

While not everybody may be comfortable sharing that right off the bat, it does give you some insight and allows your to see the vulnerable side of this person.

10. Who is your biggest influence?

Two words: Core. Values.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
