Red Flag

Sunday night was a slow one..

..Just as I had feared- considering every place I made it out to Saturday night was packed. The UNC/Duke game brought the people out in crowds, and Sunday was recovery time. This meant, of course, closing the bar on Sunday was slightly less eventful. Although all was not lost, I did have some good company to endure the night with.

Accompanied by my good friend, Priti, the night was full of interesting conversation and plenty of laughter- as always when Priti is involved. In the midst of our conversation, which we extended to bar patrons and regulars alike, we stumbled across a stimulating and one of our more popular topics: relationships, or rather-their start.

I think the conversation stemmed from us making fun of our own relationships and then each other’s, and when we expanded our discussion we got some fascinating commentary. So we did what most would do in our present state: we wrote it down. Jokingly we thought wouldn’t it be incredible if before you began a relationship with a guy, you could give him a list of questions to answer.

Clear some things up ahead of time, save some time, or just keep you from wasting your time; our questions are as follows:


1. True or false- it is ok to wear sweatpants out in public with me?






2. Have you ever broken up with someone via a text message and/or facebook message?






3. If we were to go to the bar right now, would you need to read the drink menu from front to back/analyzing what you’re in the mood for before you order- or would you just know?






4. True or false- if we did break up-it’s totally ok to sleep with my friends.






5. What sports have you played in the past, and what sports would you like your future son to play?



(Side note- for this one, we have answers..


Good answers include, but are not limited to: football, basketball, baseball, golf, soccer, rugby, tennis, lacrosse.


Bad answers include, but are not limited to: bowling, tap-dancing, skateboarding, water polo, men’s volleyball)






6. Do you keep a roll of quarters on you at all times for the purpose of either the laundry mat and/or pay phone?



 

7. In 5 words or less, describe your feelings or thoughts on the Dixie Chicks and Justin Bieber.


(Side note- if “totally freaking awesome” is part of these—better luck next time.)




 8. Do you own either a cat or a small dog?






9. Which do you prefer..


Whiskey/Coke or Vodka Pineapple
Frozen Margarita or shot of Cuervo
Guinness or PBR
Long Island Ice Tea or Blue Motorcycle






10. True or false- you can’t decide who you like more: Snooki or Jwoww.






11. Do you, on a regular basis, send texts so lengthy that they break into more than 3 texts? Another way to ask this question, is your texting so extensive that your friends are forced to empty their inbox more than once a day in order to maintain communication with you?



(Side note- Priti and I are both sad to say we are currently operating on “old school” phones)






12. True or false- you have been to more buffets than bars.






13. Does your current roommate/living situation allow for any of the following scenarios: borrowing your little brother’s car, borrowing one of your dad’s ties, or texting your mother to let her know she doesn’t need to wait up?






14. Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?


(Side note- This one is a trick question..)





15. True of false- it’s ok to copy and paste song lyrics in their entirety, in an e-mail or facebook message, to a girl under the heading “how I feel about you.”






16. Does your movie collection include any 2 of the following:


-French Kiss
-The Prince and Me
-10 Things I Hate About You
-Space Jam
-Enchanted
-Twilight (1 or 2)
-Any movie that includes a pro wrestler turned actor.






17. True or false- the term “macking” is a regular part of your vocabulary.






(Side note- we actually heard this over the course of the evening..)






18. Which of the following is your idea of “ruffin’ it” :


a. Waiting for Duke Power to turn your lights back on
b. Hotel stay sans room service
c. Sleeping in your car after an intoxicated evening
d. Digital converter box a.k.a. bunny ears TV (we weren’t sure what it was either).






19. Do the contents of your wallet include any of the following: a condom dated prior to the millennium, more than one expired credit card, membership to any male entertainment club, Dairy Queen and/or various buffet punch cards, an expired bus pass, or multiple girl’s phone numbers?


(Side note- we actually had a very cool guy at the bar volunteer his wallet for this experiment, very kind of him.)




And finally…


20. Do you have any of the following tattooed on your body: an ex-girlfriend’s name, Chinese symbols, your astrological sign, Yosemite Sam, barbed wire, Mighty Mouse, or multiple stars?


Yosemite Sam

(Side note- this is not a total random list, we were actually able to see this. The visuals were more than helpful)



For the record some of our answers scared even us, but it did help pass the time.
