Questions to ask your boyfriend

(Last Updated on May 24, 2020 by Datezie Editors)

If you’ve been dating someone for a while and you’ve barely scratched the surface on true compatibility, you’re not alone.

 “In today’s society, it can be difficult to ask tough questions before getting serious with a boyfriend,” says relationship expert, Carmel Jones.

 “Tough or not, though, it is important. “In asking questions, you can assess the quality of the answer,” adds Dr. Logan Jones, psychologist and founder of NYC Therapy & Wellness.  

 While a round of 21 questions may be frowned upon on the first date, true compatibility testing needs to happen at some point ideally before things get too serious. Doing so could save you a lot of time and heartbreak. 

“For example, if you’re asking important questions about the future, your wishes and the life you want to create and if you are getting answers that are vague, uninspired, generic or uninformed, you may want to ask yourself, ‘How serious is this person about this?’ If the quality seems low, then that’s a time to pause and reflect.”

 The bottom line then becomes about solving this: are we in the same relationship?

 “If you can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘I think so,’ you need to re-evaluate things,” says Dr. Jones. “You want to be cautious when you wonder if you are in a relationship where you have two different ideas about what you’re doing or where you’re heading, even if it’s a casual fling. If you ask this question and you can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘I think so’, then you need to consider walking away before things get too serious.”
