Conclusion
Remember these questions can help you get to know each other if you answer truthfully and honestly. However, you can never truly know someone, unless you spend time together doing everyday things, having coffee together and sharing the Sunday paper, shopping, eating in or out in a balanced amount. You can learn a lot by watching how they are when they get up in the morning, pleasant or grumpy, how they handle everyday things such as cleaning or doing dishes, or even how they react to stress.
