What are some questions you are glad that you asked (or wish you had thought to ask) your current or former partner before deciding to "go steady" with an exclusive relationship?

This is a great question and it's good that you are asking before you commit. What exactly do you both want out of the relationship? Do your future goals match? Do you want kids or not? What are things that are a deal breaker to each of you? Does the other person do or not do these things?
I think it's important to make sure you're compatible and on the same page since you will be sharing your lives together.
It's important to have these frank discussions early in the relationship, but they don't always lead to an accurate picture of what the future would hold. I've seen "the talk" fail two ways. First, the person might not know themselves. They might see themselves in terms of an ideal that they'd like to be, but their actual preferences and behavior are inconsistent with that ideal. If the ideal and reality collide, the person could realize that the particular ideal wasn't for them after all. Second, the other person might not like the answers their partner gave, but believes they can change the person.
No matter how rational we'd like to think we are, the beginnings are relationships are typically highly emotional. That rarely leads to clear thinking.
How many sexual partners have you had? Were they all human?
