Questions To Ask In The Beginning

So I'm getting to know someone new. Well hes not really new its more that i'm getting to know someone again after 15 years. So he might as well be new. And of course we don't live anywhere near each other anymore so we are reacquainting ourselves online. I swore I'd never do this again but I've rationalized that its different because I used to know him. Whatever.

Anyways the conversation is good we can "talk" online for till our fingers ache from hitting the keyboard. But I want to start asking the important questions. I've asked a few already but figured I would start compiling a list and if anyone has any ideas of things I should be asking let me know!

These are in no particular order of importance and are definitely not all meant to be asked in one sitting :)

  1. Do you want kids?
  2. Do you like &/or have pets?
  3. Do you smoke? If so will you keep it outside?
  4. Do you do drugs?
  5. Do you drink? If so how much/often?
  6. Any criminal background?
  7. Have you ever cheated in a relationship?
  8. Have you ever had an STD?
  9. Do you get checked for STD's?
  10. Are you an affectionate person?
  11. In past relationships on average who wanted more sex? You or your exes?

  1. That list is great! As one married to someone I reconnected wtih long-distance after many years, I can tell you that your list is smart as well.

    I asked many of the same questions with some strange only suited to me ones but I left some out, some that you have on your list. Things exist that you absolutely can't know until you live with a person, but I would have liked to have been more prepared for some of his weirdnesses!! (I still do like him an awful lot anyway)

    Good luck!
