The Three Questions

Hi All, I (32F) recently ended a 1.5 year relationship and am working on getting myself back out there. I’m usually a good judge of character, but I’m trying to ask better questions earlier on in the dating process.

Short but relevant tangent: For anyone not familiar with the TV show The Walking Dead, as the seasons progress, it becomes clear that other people are just as much of a threat as the zombies. So, to better judge those they come across, the main protagonists come up with three questions that they ask the people they encounter:

1. How many walkers (zombies) have you killed?
2. How many people have you killed?
3. Why?

So, my question is what three questions would you ask a date to find out key information about them (their values, character, philosophies, etc.)?

I find it better to ask questions that require some subtle self reflection instead of just asking things straight out. I have a developing list of my own, but I’d love to hear yours!
