Dating Tip #1: Asking the Right Questions

As I work my way back into the dating scene, I have started to think about what kind of questions to ask to make for good conversation while also trying to find out more about the beautiful “Maxim” model sitting across from me (Oh, me? I’m really into dreaming.). As we grow older, I think we find ourselves trying to get to the more important questions earlier on in the process of dating. Maybe because we have learned more about what we want in life and in a relationship, or maybe because we have come to realize that there is not enough time in this life to date every love interest for 2+ years in order to figure these things out. Let’s make our time count by simply asking the important questions. I found a very useful website in narrowing my focus and getting down to the real questions. With these three questions, I’ve learned so much. Thanks Salary.com!

What is your job title? Project Manager. (that’s an actual job… nice!)
What is your ZIP code? 23223 (city ZIP… tends to go out a little more)
What level are you at/you’d like to get to? Project Manager III ($85k-$108k… awesome!!)

See how much we learned there! She now has a identifiable job, you know that she’s into a more fast-paced lifestyle that the city provides, and that she is ambitious enough to stack up some serious cash! Some critics may say this is materialistic, but I disagree. This is about more about finding common ground between two people who just love to love. Maybe we then find out that we both love in-ground pools and trips to Caicos. Maybe we both love jet-skis on the weekends and the taste of steak dinners courtesy of Ruth’s Chris. Maybe we like the simple things in life, like pillow fighting on a bed covered in money. Who knows, right? That’s why we have to ask. It’s all about being on the same page! This is your direct way of getting there! There’s my gift to you. I share with you, Salary.com. Enjoy!
