How well do you know your mate/partner/ significant other?

How well can you say you know the other person in your life? If asked could you tell us their favorite color, favorite food, favorite candy bar, favorite song, favorite band, favorite tv show, favorite actor/actress? This is sort of like the newlywed game, but you don't have to be newlyweds.
It may be a surprise to some of you to find that you don't know this stuff....sometimes the closer you are the less of the obvious things you notice.
I don't have a significant other, but I have a close friend that I know well enough to answer these questions. Test yourself and tell us how you do...:}...good luck.

I'm like u, sumofalltears, in that I don't currently have a significant other, but I also have a close (female) friend, and I pretty much know ALL of this information about her.
Unlike most men, I make it a point 2 know these things, partly because I'm just ultra-CURIOUS, and also because it makes me feel CLOSER 2 a woman.
I DO recognize the importance of knowing the "little" things, because it's all the "little" things COMBINED that make up the relationship!

It is not often that people recognize the importance of those little things, many people take the little things for granted and don't realize that significance is a relative thing.

I think I know my boyfriend pretty well.. We've been together for almost 6 years now and we see each other every day.. He himself admits how it's so mind-boggling how I know him so well.. Sometimes, i just need to see his expression and I already know what he's thinking about.. Kinda creeps me out sometimes, but it's all great! I'm not so sure how well he knows me though.. I don't think he knows me well.. But I guess since he's a guy, guys aren't really the observant one are they?? hehe.. ;P

Mn seldom know their partner well...they do not understand the importance of the little things and so they never really know their partner well.

Really, really well, actually. My girlfriend and I live several hours away, so most of our time together is spent on the phone. We've used some of the less talkative moments to play what we call "the question game." Basically, we just ask each other questions back and forth until one or the other of us can't think of anything anymore. You end up learning a lot about the other person that way.

Now that you mention that I think it is great to do that. I used to do that when my boyfriend was working far from home. You just never know when a door to something important will open because of a trivial question.
