What's his favorite color? Or song? Does he consider pineapple a legitimate pizza topping? Have you two ever had an argument? Have you ever had a differing opinion than him?
Really? No answers? That's funny. I know all sorts of things about the people I have relationships with.
Like, my mom. Her favorite color is purple. She likes pineapple, but doesn't usually have it on pizza. We've definitely argued, and don't always see eye-to-eye. She loves old westerns like Gunsmoke.
Or my best friend. Her favorite color is green. I'm not sure of her pizza leanings (she's never objected to pepperoni, but has never suggested anything else), but she's more of a pasta person anyway. We've definitely bickered. I tend to be more socially liberal than her.
Or my other friend. His favorite color used to be black, but that was back during his goth phase, so it may have changed. He doesn't eat pizza anymore, but loves Indian food. Amazingly, we've never really fought. He tends to ask me for advice.
See, when you have an actual relationship with someone, there's an actual interaction. A give and take. Shared experiences. It's entirely different than imagining the response of a creature whose attributes that are only described in a book. An actual relationship is dynamic and immediate.
