Single Ladies....

What are the first few questions you ask, upon meeting a man in whom you think you may be interested in getting to know better? What are some of the answers you have gotten that are automatic deal breakers?


These are the first questions I ask, regardless:
1) Are you married? Single? Dating anyone? ((Here in memphis, TN cheating men are everywhere))

2) How old are you?

3) How many children do you have?

Some automatic deal breaker answers are:

1) yes, married(seperated or etc don't matter, married is married) "Dating someone, but bored with it", "Living with someone, but looking to move" ETC I could go on and on, bottom line is if he is not 100% single, I'm walking away!!!!

2) Anything under 30 or over 45...in between is all fair game. (I know age is nothin but a number and am all for it, but I got my preferences)

3) Don't want kids....outta the ? I already have them!! OR if he has more than 4! ((Yea, the guy in Knoxville, TN with 30 and counting kids-the females that are still messing with him are NUTS )) Plus with the kids, it depends on situations too (Ie; 4 kids, with 4 different women would be a problem)

I don't ask personal questions like that. If I'm interested in getting to know him better, first I need to know: does he have a brain? And: do we have any common interests, and if so, what are they? I have no interest in personal info until I've determined if I can have an intelligent conversation with him, and if we have anything in common. It takes a couple of dates to get past the introduction stage to the next stage. A quick look at his ring finger at first meeting will tell me if he's available usually, no need to ask in the beginning.

I ask about books, favorite places to eat, hobbies, pets. Keep it light the first conversation. Politics, religion and sex will come out in the open soon enough.

I often ask them if they like to read and to travel (What book are you currently reading? What was the last place you visited (business/pleasure)?), which is basically my way of finding out if they like to learn and if they are adventurous/fun (if you ask them pointblank if they have those qualities, of course they would say yes). Though most people I meet read and travel to varying degrees, so that's not usually a huge obstacle. Those that have absolutely no interests in both of those two activities, I can't see myself being attracted to them.

Do you do a X-Ray scan on the brains? Just make them fill out the personality questions online for matching like OKCupid.
Ring finger does not mean anything. In Asia, ring on third finger right hand is considered married/engaged.

Yeah, it means the same thing here, that's the point.
No, I don't x-ray their brains. The quality of the conversation tells me much of what I need to know, brain-wise. I'm not going to hand someone a form to fill out; the getting-to-know-you process is supposed to be enjoyable, not a bureaucratic hoop to jump.

I usually dont have a chance to ask anything. The men I meet seem to love to talk. They ramble on and on and on and all the info comes out eventually.
