What are the most important questions you should ask before?

If you were to make a check-off list of the most important questions you should ask before allowing yourself to become emotionally invested in someone what would they be?

A lot of people don’t have a clue and just leap in a relationship and wind up with a lot more than just a broken heart. Of course, people can lie or simply just tell you what they want you to hear, but at least you made the effort to protect yourself, right. So what else would you ask that person besides do you have any STDs, are you married, do you have any kids, do you do drugs, have you done time, are there warrants out for your arrests, etc. Please give me your most complete list! Share your horror story if you like. :)

Star this question so your friends can take a whack at it!

Thanks!

    Are you married?

    How many people have you slept with? How many one night stands?

    How long were your longest and shortest relationships? Why did they end?

    Are you looking for a long term relationship?

    Do you have kids or want kids?

    Are you still in love with any of your exes?

    I'd also ask questions about a persons values, religion, politics etc - as a liberal, veggie, vaguely-anglican divorcee I would be very reluctant to get involved with a right wing, bigoted atheist who's never settled down with anyone, lol!
