What do I need to know about him? So, a friend of me and her sister have arranged that this friend of the sister and me should get to know eachother, because they think we might like dating eachoter.
He got my e-mail adress and has send me good humoured mail. I've mailed some witty mail back. So, that's all going well.
The thing is, he asked me what I wanted to know about him. And I actually had no clue.
I mean, what do you want to know about somebody who's a potential date? I've allways just met people and had only one blind date in my life without a lot of mail contact prior to that. However, this guy lives in the UK, so meeting for a cup of coffee isn't going to happen and we'll have to get to know eachother by mail/ skype.
And I'm also in the blind about what kind of characteristics are important to pay attention to, because I really did make some bad judgements in the past.
What kind of info do you guys think is important about someone who you might want to date?

I think its to early to get into any deep questions..
So for now I would ask, what he does for a living, a little about his family, Hobbies... Just general things you ask when you are first getting to know someone... If you ask too personal and deep questions you may scare him off! ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

O, lawd. I'm so lousy at small talk by mail. He has a nice job. I'll ask about that.
and he recently became an uncle, so I can ask about that.
Thanx. I just haven't done this kind of thing before. Have no clue how to do that. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

quite right.. here are some suggestions:
1. can you juggle? 2. why is green the color chosen for traffic lights to signal forward motion? 3. if you had to choose between spending the night with a vampire or werewolf locked in the basement, which would you choose and why? 4. how do you feel about taxidermy? 5. would you wear blue suede shoes? | |

I def. want it to be fun. I'm not staying if it aint fun.
However, we've just emailed without knowing eachoter. He's very witty, and the person who thinks we would match is actually good at judging character. However, somebody can be a nice bloke and not match with me. Or vice versa.
Well, I also like that whole 'have no clue about him'. However, when we are to meet, he needs to fly to Amsterdam, because he lives in London. So, he would come over based on an invitation by me.
Well, I'm not worried about it. Maybe we don't click or match. I think we'r both mature and can sort that out in a mature way without any dramas.

DJJ, you might consider mentioning to this guy, when you meet him, that you've chosen names for your first three children, but you're willing to let him name your last five kids whatever he'd like | |

Good one.
I actually never met a man that replied he made mistakes. It's allways because the ex-girlfriend had flaws
I did hear (hearsay) that it was a lot of drama and trouble and that it was a young Russian girl. I hope to find out about it. And see if he's mature enough to own up to his own failures.

I don't know if I let him that much choice, letting him name the majority? BTW, I'm too old for that many children. Well, it might be possible if I give birth to a couple of twins rapidly after eachother.
Just to be clear, what are the names again?
davetheravette, Gorgonzola and Stilton, right?
we did talk about our retirement already. It's comuting between Bali and Norway. So, now it's just about sorting the details. I'm glad you helped with the names of the children. Very gender neutral.

Even though all the suggestions here are good in their own way for all different kinds of reasons, the most important is that you be yourself. Make sure you ask him stuff you really want to know but be honest. >> | |

I like to know well in advance his salary, any debts he may have has he been wise with money? Does he have addictions - alcohol, gambling, sex, drugs etc the relationship he has with his mother, is he on speaking terms with exes? does he have health issues, what medications is he on?
sorry these are pretty serious but I'd find these things out casually, in text chats etc just to know what you are in for
sometimes after you've had your fun and find out you're in love, and then it's too late | |
