Yup, first date fourth date, it's all things I would like to know about someone, eventually. Some personalities will lay it all out for you, others take more time. it's all good. My fear is to be to co-dependent, to passive and think, "well I can help this person, I don't NEED to know these things" Mmm wrong, I deserve to receive back from giving. Half the battle is being aware of something. You might dance that dance as you venture out, but by being aware, you will recognize it and step out sooner.

“Be the kind of person the person you want would want.”
No, don’t morph into someone else’s dreams. Be the kind of person you have always wanted to be. Be a person whom you admire. This may mean trying and doing things you’d always been attracted to but felt they were not for you.
When in my mid 50s I dared to take classes in acting and other arts, that’s when I blossomed into my true self and also attracted friends and a lover who were welcoming, supportive and loving. I didn’t change for them, but to express my self.

Hilarious. That kid is a genius actor.. ha. But a good point - know who you are really meeting. I didn't always "know" - but I was in public places. I am not the kind of person who needs to control every aspect of life, though - I went out, if I liked the guy, I pursued it and if I didn't, I said good bye and carried on. No biggie, really.

I always googled their names, looked for them on FB, whitepages, and after I met them in public somewhere I would get the tag off their car and have my brother (he's a police officer) run it to see if they have a clean record.

FWIW, I have a new coworker. In getting to know him, several of the employees and I learned about his travels. He has been all over the world except to Antarctica. He negotiated his work contract so he gets to take his long planned Budapest vacation next week.None of us asked how he afforded his vacation....

I liked the " are you married?" Question.. I mentally ask that question with every woman I see now. I look for wedding rings. maybe a better question is, "how many times have you been married?"
