What questions do you ask - OLD?

[Anonymous]

Other than “are you actually single,” are there any questions that you regularly ask to screen people you meet online before meeting IRL?

Obviously, I also make sure pics look recent and include a full body picture. And I’ve learned that I also need to check to see if there’s a mention of a college or profession.

Have you been convicted of any crimes...

Do you have kids, how long have you been single, where do you live/work.

Do you have pets. Their answer tells a lot about them.

Does your husband own any automatic weapons?

I wish people wouldn’t say OLD. It makes you look old.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor -- robbery, rape, car theft, that sort of thing?

Are either of you homosexuals? If not, are you willing to learn?

What’s your bra size?

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Favorite vacation spot? Any bucket list items? Favorite restaurant?

The answer that I have found most useful to the first question is, "Convicted? No, never convicted."

Regarding the second, you need to determine more precisely what they mean by "homosexual." Flaming? Or just, you kmow?

As to the third, the safe answer is "yes." But in answering you should follow up with a question of your own, "Will they send me to someplace special?"

OP here. Guess I wasn’t clear. I was looking for questions that screen out the poor long term prospects and for the good prospects! Been on a few dates recently where I knew within the first 20 minutes that we’d never see each other again.

How long have you been online dating? - some people can’t transition from the fresh meat factor

Do you smoke?

Are you happy? Mostly I want to hear how they explain this.

Mostly just be honest at that 20 minute mark if it’s feeling odd. Say I’m not sure this is working. Let’s reset. Give them another 20. If it’s not smoother get the check.

What to you value and why?
How many people have you dated since your last relationship?
What is the most extravagant purchase you have ever made? What made it extravagant to you?
Are you religious?
What were your responsibilities in the family home?
Where have you traveled? Where would you like to visit--why?
What do you do on a Sunday afternoon in the fall? Are you a season ticket holder for sports or theater?
What was the last concert you saw? What was the last book you read?
When was the last time you called/saw your mother/father/sibling?
How often to you talk to your children or see them? Do you attend your children's school events?
When was the last time you got your oil changed?

I wish I could ask all of my questions on the first date because I would be able to screen out the the poor long term prospects for me. But if I were to ask all of them at once, I would seem pushy.
