Sometimes you never...in a million years, see something coming. You can plan and plan for something else you have in mind and then BAM out of nowhere your plans completely change and it's weird at first, but it's not weird because it's weird...if that makes any sense. It's weird because it's not weird at all--and it never was weird, and you never saw it coming. But you're sure glad that it did.
You guys, I wrote this whole long blog post with pictures and all that stuff about Ryan and I...and then I realized that if I were not me, I would probably never read that. Nor would I even understand half of the stuff I was talking about, so, I decided to introduce you all to this boy whom I adore through a series of questions and answers Google thinks you should know about your significant other.
Everybody: Meet Ryan Christian Brady Polatis.... he's cute, right?!
1. Are you in love?
...aw, young love :)
2. What is this person’s name?
Like I said... it's Ryan Christian Brady Polatis. Yeah, he has two middle names and I LOVE it. I don't know why, but I just do okay. Of course I always have to call him by call three names--okay, not always... but i'd say a good portion of the time this girl is saying three names instead of one.
3. How long have you known this person?
In about a week it will be 5 months to the day since we met, that is crazy. It's not a very long time at all, but it feels like I have known him so much longer.
4. What first attracted you to this person?
The boy can make me laugh like nobody I've ever met. I think that was what first attracted me to him, he was so goofy and fun. I remember when we were first friends, he called me randomly one night at like 12am. And we talked until 3 in the morning and I was just laughing the entire time. I remember being so concerned I was going to wake up the house but I couldn't stifle the laughter from this kid. Shortly after I learned a bit more about him, I was incredibly attracted to what a good person he is. I remember being irritated that I hadn't heard from him until 1 or 2pm, only to find out that he had been at the temple that morning, then over to his Granny and Papa's to sit with his sick Papa and then over to his other grandparents to mow their lawn.
5. Who approached who first?
Ryan approached me first on all accounts. He came into my work first, added me on Facebook first, asked for my number first, insisted we hang out first.... oh yeah, it was all him. ;) Until things got a bit more serious and it was time for the good ol' DTR...but that's a different story entirely.
6. How long did you know this person before you were “in love”?
I told Ryan I loved him literally like day two of talking to him. However, I awkwardly made it very clear that it was in a "friendly" sort of way. He got me, we laughed, and then it always became our joke. "I stinkin love you!".....the "stinkin" made it friendly of course.
7. Are you married to this person now?
We are not married. Just happily dating! I love dating this boy. We can be doing everything, or nothing at all and we are having a blast. I remember my mom telling me that when she and my dad met and went out for the first time, from that point on, they were together pretty much every day. I remember saying that I cannot believe she wanted to be with somebody EVERY DAY. Didn't she get sick of them? She just laughed and told me that one day I would understand. I now understand.
8. What physical attribute are you most attracted to on this person?
I'm obsessed with his hairy bod. hahah, I know that sounds so sick, but seriously he is so hairy and I love it! He's got these manly hairy arms, legs and facial hair that I adore.... he thinks I'm crazy, but seriously--I love it.
9. What physical attribute on this person do you find least attractive?
His shaved legs. But alas, he has stopped. And I am happy to report his hairy legs are coming in nice and hairy.
10. If you could change one thing about this person, what would it be?
Obviously I wouldn't just outright change anything about him. However, we do have fun learning to communicate with one another. Me, who wants to talk about everything and expects him to care deeply about what I ate for lunch, and him who, when he says he's fine, wants me to leave it at that and realize he really is just fine. ...oh yeah, we have fun.
11. I love when this person…
Plays his guitar and sings. Kisses me on the forehead. Smiles really hard and gets oriental eyes. Laughs really hard with his family. Teases me. Says, "You're so damn cute!" (hahah...it's cute okay?!) Talks about his mission and/or spiritual things. Holds my hand while he drives. Speaks portuguse. Makes fun of my spelling (Like he will probably do when he reads this) Finishes my sentences. Let's me snuggle up to him so I'm comfy, and pretends to be equally as comfy when I know he's not.
12. I hate when this person…
Burps. .... seriously, it's nasty. And he knows I hate it, so naturally he does it whenever he can.
13. Have you ever cheated on this person?
Define cheating..... kilt! Of course not :)
14. Has this person ever cheated on you?
I'd hope not. But if so, it would probably be with a handful of his guy friends. Bromance I tell ya.
15. Do you have any children with this person?
No :)
16. Who is the most dominate in this relationship?
I'd say we are both pretty dominate. It just depends on the day/sistuation/time of day.
17. Do you argue much?
Hahah yes, and let me tell you. He is the most difficult person to argue with! He either A: Internalizes everything and doesn't say a word or B: Doesn't take it serious and laughs, in-turn, making me laugh and forget why we were arguing in the first place. Is it bad that sometimes I love arguing with this boy? Our arguments are never anything serious, most of the time just fun and frustrating at the same time--if that makes any sense at all.
18. If so, who apologizes first?
Usually Ryan does. Because I am a girl, and stubborn and feel like I am always right. He's patient I tell you. However, there have been a couple arguments that I was indeed wrong, and he definitely waited until I apologized first.
19. Which of you is the slob?
Umm... not going to lie, probably me. He's pretty tidy.
20. Which of you is the smartest?
Definitely Ryan. He is a meca of knowledge! He is always spouting off the most random information or engaging me in intelligent conversations, I love it. I love how smart how he is.
21. Which of you is the breadwinner?
Well, as of right now, we win our own bread! But he does pay for a lot of my breads...so we will say Mr. Polatis.
22. Which of you is the most romantic?
He's pretty dang romantic this kid. :)
23. Which of you would be most likely to ask for a breakup/divorce?
Probably me, because I am an emotional/irrational girl. But I wouldn't mean it, of course I would do it just to see if he'd chase after me. See, what'd I tell you, irrational. Crazy maybe?
24. What is this person’s favorite color?
Green, he loves it so much.
25. What is this person’s favorite number?
It's 7....cause I just asked him.
26. What is this person’s favorite food?
He doesn't have one--he just loves all food.
27. What is this person’s favorite thing to do?
He really loves hanging out with his family, or me (haha), or his dog... or his friends. Or playing the guitar, or going to the gym. I don't know! He has a lot of favorite things. The boy's all over the place.
28. What is this person’s favorite restaurant?
He doesn't have one! He has been known to enjoy some 4x4's at In-n-Out, and some chalupas at Taco Bell however...
29. Is this person allergic to anything?
Nope! He's free and clear, we actually just had this conversation not too long ago.
30. Have you and this person ever broken up?
Nah bro...we're solid.
31. Do you think that you and this person spend enough time together?
Not nearly. Nah, just kidding--we probably spend too much time together. But it just never seems like it's enough! True story.
32. When you are not together, who misses who the most?
It just depends on the day, but I'd say we are fairly equal. However, we are sitting across the room from each other right now and he just got up to come over and kiss me, then went and sat back down....soooo I'd say, probably him. ;)
33. Which of you would be considered the better “catch”?
Him. Definitely. Have you met this guy, he's a catch for sure :)
34. Which of you is more outgoing?
Probably me, he can talk to anybody, and adapts really well to social situations, but he doesn't like the lime light, nor does he like big crowds. He's a simple guy.
