Questions to ask your boyfriend once you know the basics

Once you know his favorite food and his friends' names, the questions have to get more specific. These ask about his life before you: jobs, moves, stories other people tell about him and the chances he quietly passed up. Expect a few tales you have not heard.

Ask one when you are doing something side by side, like cooking or driving, since stories come out more easily when nobody is staring. Offer your own answer after his.
