relationships

4 very extremely important questions to ask before you go on a date

- what is the goal?
- what is the current problem?
- what current resources are spent on the problem?
- how did you commit to solving it?

I’m a strong believer in not wasting time, and dating is no exception. For friends dating with marriage in mind, I think these 4 questions are critical to align expectations early:

	1.	What are you looking to gain from a relationship?
	2.	What are your long-term goals (5/10 years)?
	3.	What are their long-term goals (5/10 years)?
	4.	Are your goals aligned? (Think physical location, resources, timeline, kids, etc.) What doesn’t align, and are you both willing to compromise?

Even if someone doesn’t have a concrete 10-year plan, it’s essential to have open, transparent conversations about expectations and boundaries. If you can’t talk about these things early, to me, that’s already a red flag!

What are your non-negotiables when it comes to dating?
