According to the experts, the below are the 3 questions you must ask your date—and the answers will determine if the person is a relationship material or not.
Of course, you cannot go and ask a woman or a man you meet in a small farming village in Ghana these questions—because, they wouldn’t probably even know what you are talking. The truth is, they may not regard these things as anything within their reaching zones.
When it comes to first dates, a lot of guys have a routine — a preferred restaurant, a trusted bottle of wine, a short list of questions and topics of conversation. But in a recent New York Times op-ed, comedian Aziz Ansari and social scientist Eric Klinenberg, authors of the new book “Modern Romance,” pointed out three questions you might want to add to your routine:
1. Do you like horror movies?
2. Have you ever traveled around another country alone?
3. Wouldn’t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?
Apparently, these questions are the deal breakers. If the answers mirror your answers, then the other is a relationship material.
Beyond Ansari and Klinenberg, OkCupid trend research done in 2011 by one of the company’s founders, Christian Rudder says how closely you and your date’s answers to these questions align could determine how well you’d function in a relationship.
To figure this out, Rudder analyzed 34,260 real-world couples who met on OkCupid. He found that 32% of successful couples agreed on all three questions, which is “3.7 times the rate of simple coincidence,” writes Rudder.
Looking at the questions, it’s interesting they all seem to deal with how a person handles stress and anxiety, and their tendency to plan things out. So with that, you could say that two people who deal with stress similarly might make a good couple.
You can give it a try if you ever want to test it…
