Is he emotionally available? What do you think?

No, he is always nervous about that.

Has he ever cooked you dinner?

Yes, all the time! He is better than me as a cook!

Just pasta… Once or twice.

Haha, I wish! He is so lazy and untalented.

Can he handle conflict reasonably?

Yes, he is willing to handle it.

No, settling down is not his thing.

Are you two compatible sexually?

Not good. He’s very insensitive, and despite his promises to the contrary, he never seems to have time for me. I wonder whether there is someone else in his life.

Hell yeah! We have good sexual chemistry and the same level of desire for physical touch.

Occasionally, but I think sexual skills can be learned.

What’s his job situation and his income look like?

He has a fulfilling, well-paying job that enables him to support himself and still afford to make plans.

So strange, but he doesn't talk too much about his job.

Bad. He tells you he’s having a rough time and that he’ll have to focus on himself until he gets back on his feet.

You take your boyfriend to a family event. What does he do?

He canceled at the last minute and was unavailable the entire night. He didn't mention what came up.

He hardly ever spoke to anyone and preferred to spend his time playing games on his phone. Sometimes I wonder if he’s just a little shy when he’s in a crowd.

He really loves my parents! They are so close. I feel certain he’d be a loving father figure to our future family.

Does he come to you when he needs help?

Sometimes, it depends on his mood.

Do you two have mostly similar values?

Yes, we have a set of values that are core to us.

There is no need to agree on absolutely everything.

Can he keep his cool in a crisis?

I’m not sure. I haven't seen it yet.
