. You survived in-laws, PTA meetings, and the horror of joint bank accounts. And now? You have to decode a brand-new species of man: The Modern Single Male.
But here’s the kicker, some of them are charming con artists who say all the right things while secretly Googling how soon they can inherit your Netflix password. So how do you separate the good guys from the ones who are more trouble than your ex’s tax returns?
Simple: You ask the right questions.
Let’s dive into the seven first-date questions that will expose a man’s true intentions faster than he can say, “I’m emotionally available.”
1. “So, What Are You Looking for Right Now?”
This is a polite way of saying, Are you here for love, fun, or just a free appetizer? His answer will reveal a lot. If he dodges the question like a politician in a scandal, proceed with caution. A confident, sincere answer? That’s a green flag.
2. “Tell Me About Your Last Relationship.”
Ah, the ultimate lie detector test. If he spends the next 30 minutes trashing his ex, guess who he’ll be complaining about next? (Spoiler: you). If he speaks with maturity and accountability, he might actually be a keeper.
3. “What Does a Perfect Weekend Look Like for You?”
This sounds innocent, but it’s a sneaky way to find out if he’s relationship material or just a man-child who still plays Xbox in his mom’s basement.
4. “How Do You Feel About Marriage and Commitment?”
This one separates the men from the boys. If he breaks into a cold sweat and suddenly needs to “check on his car,” you have your answer. If he’s open and honest, he might be worth exploring.
5. “What’s Your Biggest Dealbreaker in a Relationship?”
If his answer is “Women who ask too many questions,” congratulations, you’ve just dodged a red flag the size of Texas.
6. “How Do You Handle Conflict?”
Does he avoid it, scream into a pillow, or communicate like a grown adult? His answer will tell you if he’s emotionally mature or if he still throws tantrums when the WiFi goes out.
7. “Can I See Your Dating App Profile Right Now?”
Okay, this one is bold, but hey, you’re a fearless queen. If he hesitates, that’s a major red flag. If he hands over his phone like it’s no big deal, he might actually be a unicorn in the dating world.
