it is vital to ask confrontational questions so that you know where you stand. get an answer asap to avoid being played.

I think most of the more seasoned daters and "adults" on this board would say yes. Especially some of the women.

 

But I would have to say that you should be careful with it. A lot of confrontational questions, or the "hard hitting" questions can be a little difficult and offputting. Or at least, make things uncomfortable.

 

While I agree that people need to be specific and find exactly what they want, I do think you should still be cautious and try not to scare the other person off.

 

FOr example, someone might be looking for a life partner just like you. But I believe you can't go on the first date and be like, "hey listen, I'm looking to get married in two years and have a baby in three. I am looking for a wife/husband and I need to know whether or not this is something you're interested in as well, otherwise this is a waste of time."

 

While some people might find that direct approach completely acceptable and support it, I think it's a bit cuckoo.

i had an experience with a girl once who i talked online fir 2 months and she used to say things that led me to believe she liked me for example i have feelings for you, calling me babe etc etc. wen we finally met after she flew in she acted like she didnt know me and said to me a year later you acted like you wanted more than friends with me.

 

i was thinking are you serious?!! if only i said before to her i like you more than friends and thats why im coming to see you. from now on i say this to every girl i like

Well, dont ask, needy confrontational questions.

ie. Questions for validation.

 

Ask questions, because you sincerely want to know the other person's opinion on the topic.

I say, Later on in the relationship, right before you guys become an Item, these questions should be asked
