The 40 Questions to Ask a New Guy

A gf of mine asked if I did the 40 Questions with him. What is that? ...I said. Ohh...that would have been good to know.... I must blog about this. The reasons to ask are obvious, I think. I have always had some version of this to ask, but I think there is utility in presenting it as "here are my 40 questions" becomes a bit of a game. Of course, what the answers mean depends on each person. And, it's up to you to ask the follow up questions of how long ago, frequency, etc. Are any really deal breakers? If someone has done the worst but proclaims "reform", I'd probably melt and think awe, but he want's to change.... is that okay? Especially if someone will admit to some of these things, could I really hold it against him?

So, these are the "40 questions" to ask every new guy. If nothing else it's a good way to get to know someone, his past.

How about what he sees in the future...family? kids?

How does he deal with conflict/disagreement in a relationship

How does he view money. Generous, stingy to himself, to others, to family, relatives. Investor or paycheck by paycheck

How's his relationship with his parents/siblings.
