Throughout our lives we are told to be tactful and not ask too many questions! But when it comes to online dating? Those rules have changed! What you don't know CAN and WILL hurt you! There are 3 questions you MUST ask! 1.
"What is your relationship status?" This is not a complicated question! If you don't like the response, back up and ask it again; "What is your relationship status?" Do not allow the communications to continue until you have a complete and satisfactory answer.
You may hear; A.
"What difference does it make? I'm just looking for someone to talk to.
What's wrong with that?" Nothing is wrong with that, except...
As soon as you accept that "response" as the answer, they will try to get to know you on a very personal level as soon as possible.
They know from experience, if you can capture someone's emotions your "relationship status" becomes less important! 2.
"What do you do for a living?" This will tell you almost all you need to know about a person's self worth, responsibility, and "sense of entitlement".
If they choose to "dance" around this question, you may have a problem! If a person refuses to support their own life and lifestyle, shows a lack of maturity.
A person that still "bum's" money from parents, siblings, friends, etc.
tells me I am not dealing with a "complete" adult.
I don't know about you, but I am not a pedophile! I have no interest in anyone that portrays "child-like" characteristics! 3.
The last question you must ask is; "Do you have children? How many? Do you support them, if they are not in your household?" The answer to that group of questions will be a "spotlight" on the moral fiber of the person you are interested in! The 3 questions you must ask will give you a big head start in a new online relationship.
Just remember; do not allow them to avoid, ignore or disregard these questions!
