| What questions do you usually ask your beloved? |

Here are some questions you can ask before appointing a date with a new person:
1. Have you lived around here long?
2. Have you used this service/shopped here long?
These first two questions will help you gain some insight about how long the person has been in your neighborhood and let you know if they move around or are a stable owner/renter. It’s also safe to ask their opinion about small restaurants or coffee shops to further add to the fact that they are from your area/location.
3. There seems to be a lot of kids (or not very many kids) in the neighborhood, don’t you think?
4. Do you know “so-and-so”?
The third question will help you find out if they have kids and whether they go to school in the area, maybe even leading to facts about child custody and if they are a full-time or part-time single parent. The fourth question will help you find out another area of commonality, maybe you have some friends/neighbors in common of you/they work with someone you both know.
5. Have you noticed the traffic getting worse on (name of street)?
6. Do you work around here?
These questions will help you to gain insight as to whether they own a car, the person’s type of job/career, if they travel far to work, as well as re-enforcing the fact that they are from around your neighborhood. These questions can also direct the conversation to the fact that they are in the process of looking for a new job or about to get a raise/promotion, if they feel comfortable enough to continue this line of conversation with you.
7. Ask if they can recommend another service for shopping/laundry in place of where you are now.
8. Ask if they’ve ever tried a different business/service instead of where you are now.
This will help to keep them talking about their experiences in the chores of life, be it shopping, laundry or even walking the dog. Maybe they, or you, have a suggestion about the freshness of grocery items, the quickness of clothes driers, the fastest way to get your dog to poop on a cold winter’s day. |

| Ask them questions about hobbies, likes and dislikes, religion; basically anything that would help you get to know that person better, but avoid anything about ex's, his/her past, or if they want to marry and have children. This will only scare them away. Just be yourself and there is no need to change your values just to impress someone else. This would arise as a problem if things were to happen and when the true person starts to reveal themself you may find out it is not the person you were looking for. |

| I think the best way to get to know how a person truly is is by the way they discuss people they know. I have found that people who speak negatively of others usually are not very nice people themselves. Also, what kind of friends do they have? Law abiding, hard working people, college or high school friends, or only friends they met at a bar? |

Find out what they stand for. Do they have morals? How do they feel about morals, this can be found by the way they react to things. Do they cut corners? Are they dishonest in the little things? What do they talk like, foul? You can see that many times we don't even have to ask questions. When we see them in a public setting we can learn lots. People are smart they will tell you what they think you want to hear but their conduct can speak volumes about them, more than any question we can ask. First though, we have to have the standards within us in order to know what to look for. _________________ xXx - Extrem Sports Master

| I like to talk about food, books, travel and movies, it usually gives quite a good picture of the person. |

What a pattern
Suppose there's a person who doesn't care what he eats, doesn't read books and watch movies because has no spare time and doesn't travel for any other reason. What you could say about such a person? |
