questions for conversationsWhat are good questions/conversations to ask/have with a potential significant other?

When you are getting to know someone and not sure if you are going to be together, what do you think are some good things to ask, look out for and conversate about to get to know eachother? Thanks!
you should be sneaky about it...say for example you want to know if he/she's a cheapskate or not, then go about it like this..."I was in x hotel one day and i tipped the chambermaid x dollars and she game me a funny look for a slight second, was i wrong or right, what the hell? How much should one tip?" His/her answer will give you a good insight on whether he/she is cheap or not.

or say you wanted to find out if he/she is an emotional/feelings/touchy/boohoohoo type, then bring up things like cockfquestions for conversationsighting, dogfighting, animal cruelty related type things etc, depending on how long their answers are and how deep they go, you can figure out not only if they care for animals (typically people who care for animals have a big open soft spot) but also it they have any pets (whether they are a dog or cat person)... you see, depending on how you structure your questions...you can milk a lot of info with just a little bit inquiring...

one tip though...never go personal unless they go personal first, however...still try not to go personal unless you know what your doing and most importantly...ALWAYS BE SUBTLE
well if your comfortable around someone,then you wont feel nervous.which means questions will come nquestions for conversationsaturally.you would not be asking us.i know that sometimes first dates can be hectic.make you feel nervous,but on 1st dates you wouldn't know if he is the 1 or not anyways.so i assume its not your 1st date with this guy.which means to me that your not comfortable around him.get my point?
First off get them to tell you more and more about themselves. Now listen very carefully to what they say and how they say it. You can learn more about the person by listening carefully to what and how they say things about themselves and others than any other method.
ask about education, career, childhood, current goals, fun activities you may have in common, crazy EX's, STD's, sexual orientation
