One of my avid readers suggested to me that I do one of the 'ask your guy' challenges now that I'm seriously dating someone. And probably since I'm known for doing the 'writing challenges.' I thought it would be a fun, low-key way to play a more random get-to-know-you game since we already know each other pretty well. These made for some fun stories though and I think he had fun answering them with me. The questions are in BOLD, his answers are Italicized, and my thoughts are normal text. Enjoy!

1. What was your best drop the mic moment?

When I tied a cheerleader in a limbo contest, and she was like a foot and a half shorter than me.
