kkitty: what questions should you ask to really get to know somebody?
I think that I would/do ask just the natural questions that come up as we go along...in the course of conversation. I am a curious person and ask a lot of questions, not to pry, but to get to know somebody, and one answer often leads to another question....
Don't have any specific questions--would want to know if his status for sure (married/divorced/separated). Other stuff just comes up....
Question here or in real life, two different approaches.
here I do not ask a lot.. I just don't have that kind of faith in internet.
but in person I will ask anything I want to know.. eye to eye- so I can read them.
mostly start with the every day questions... Do you have kids? how many and ages of brothers and sisters? find out some about family background and so on.

Any question you choose to ask. It is the other that has the right to answer or not answer.
Questions and answers do not always let people truly know each other.
People tell little fibs, it is a fact of life. I am sure it is not intentional, some simply want so much to be loved they will tell qanother what they think they want to hear.
Portiea: On a dating site, that would be problematic. Meet as soon as possible, start getting to know one another in real life as soon as possible....
Very good point and a true statement (in real life). Problem with a dating site is so many allow their lives to run on fear and they cannot muster the courage to risk.

Old saying, "actions speak louder than words"..
You are definitely a wise gentleman and I agree with you completely!

I think that women have a little more to fear than men. JMO is it a bad thing to be cautious?
