When joking with friends about first date questions, I thought the funniest I'd heard was "What's your PIN number?"

But when I opened this article I couldn't help but recall that conversation and laugh even more. What's your take if someone asked you this on a first date?

If I answered that, it would probably turn most people off.

Definitely not a first date question, however it is something that is a "need-to-know" if you are planning on co-mingling finances with someone.

For those who prefer to avoid the clickbait, the magic question is, "What's your credit score?".

I've never had credit score or money management be an issue in a relationship, but that's because I date people who have values similar to mine -- honesty, integrity, rationality, big picture thinking -- stuff like that just leads to a high credit score automatically.

It's not click bait, it's called not stealing ideas of others or plagiarizing. Also the article goes into why they think this is such a vital question which is worth reading at least that much. You may or may not agree with their reasoning, but it's their reasoning. Just posting the question without why isn't the point. And just your take on it isn't what others may or may not agree with. It's the reasoning in the article not your own.

Thanks for those insightful Cliff Notes anyway.

There's no point in asking about credit score if there couple has no common interests or compatibility. The first date is for ascertaining whether there's enough common ground to continue. Besides, a lot of students and recent grads may not have good credit scores.
