There are things to think about and questions that need to be answered when a young man and woman step into the courtship stage. Getting to know someone is important and at the same time fun. Moreover, it is also significant to find out as much as you can about someone before you say “YES.”
It takes a lot of questions to expose beliefs and perspectives of your potential suitor, especially in this age of endless connection where most relationship doesn’t go far beyond the surface. So, you really need to dig deeper and evaluate your suitor before both of you enter into a serious relationship. Sometimes it is difficult to know what questions to ask, but with these questions I listed down, you will have an idea on what to ask.
To help you tap into the power of knowing, here are 20 questions to ask to your suitors before you say “YES” to the right one.
* Why did your last relationship end?It is not like you need to know all the details about their breakup, but he should at least be able to explain what happened in his previous relationship. Here are a few warning signals for this question: It’s either he doesn’t want to talk about his past relationship, which means he haven’t moved on yet or he doesn’t know why they broke up and they don’t have closure until now.
* Have you moved on from your previous relationship?
This is one of the most important things to ask when you’re entertaining a suitor, because you wouldn’t know if he’s just using you as a rebound to forget his ex girlfriend. Dig deeper and look into his eyes to see how sincere he is while he’s answering your question.
* How do you deal with heartbreaks?We all know that dealing with heartbreaks is not that easy. One thing to know how he handles throbbing experiences and circumstances in life is how he deals with simple heartache.
* What are the qualities you’re looking for in a Girlfriend?This is one of those relationship questions to ask a man that takes some time and thought. You’ll also be given the chance to know if he’s looking at physical appearance or from within. This is also a great way to know if you have those qualities he is looking for.
* What do you want from a relationship?Does he want a “friends with benefit” type of relationship only or does he want something to take seriously? If you’re looking for a long-lasting relationship, then you already know the answer that is more acceptable.

Lust is something that is hard to deal with, especially with men. However, you’ll know if he’s just after your body or your heart based on his answer.
* What kind of Boyfriend are you? Are you the strict one or not?One thing you need to consider before entering into a relationship is what kind of boyfriend he is.

Thus, you have to know if your suitors are humble enough to admit their weaknesses and mistakes – and if they are doing something to change and make themselves a better person.
* How do you spend time with your little siblings, nephews, and nieces?Single guys who are thoughtful and close to their little siblings, nephews and nieces, and who always spend time to make them happy in many ways, have the tendency to be more loving, responsible and fun to be with. If your suitor can make little crazy kiddos laugh and happy, then there’s a good chance that he can also make you smile.
