7 Questions To Ask Before Dating Someone

Is dating even really dating?

Dating in 2019 is much more different than dating before. These days, people don't even date based on love. Some people do not even know what love is. Others have never even had the experience of dating someone. Whatever the case may be, it is possible for you to find love. There is someone out there for everyone.

Make sure you actually get to know someone before you date them. That is the problem these days. People jump into relationships way too quickly and then wonder where it goes wrong. This is how it goes these days. You meet someone and find them attractive. You begin to think you like them. You start stalking to them for a while. A couple of days, weeks, months even. Neither of you ever really pops the question of, "will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend?". Then one of you loses interest and you just disappear.

Dating someone can actually be such a beautiful experience, if you really want it. I don't know about you guys, but when I want to date someone, it is because I believe that something is there. I want a serious relationship, not just a fling or some casual hook-ups.

So if you're really thinking about dating someone, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you really like them?

Sometimes, you probably do not even like someone. You just believe you do, maybe because people tell you that you look great together. Take a moment and really think about your feelings.

2. Do you see a future with them?

Do you want a serious relationship? Or do you want to waste your time?

3. Do you believe in them?

Do you trust that person to really be faithful and not break your heart? Discussions are normal in a relationship, but cheating is not!

4. What were their past relationships like?

Yes I know, you shouldn't judge someone based on their past, but some people DO NOT change. Better to save yourself the heartbreak. I am not saying judge them, I am saying, talk about it.

5. What are their favorite Netflix shows?

You can't be dating someone with bad taste in shows. RED FLAG NUMBER 1.

6. What are their goals/dreams?

Look, you should be with someone who wants the best for you. Someone who motivates you to be the best you that you can be. Someone who is looking to improve themselves just as you are.

7. Do they have an android or an iPhone?

You gotta make sure they pray for the right team? We ain't doing this in 2019 y'all!



So basically, really think about it before you show them off to your friends/family. Because once you go down that road, they will ask about them for the rest of eternity!

Happy Dating!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
