What someone does for a living can tell a lot about who they are and what they're interested in! Their career reveals a lot more about them than just where they spend their time to make some money.
OK, I get it, this seems like something you would ask a Kindergarten class, but I feel like it's always good to know someone's favorite color. You could always send them that Snapchat featuring you in that cute shirt you have that just so happens to be in their favorite color!
This one is actually super important because it's totally true that people grow up with different roles and responsibilities based on where they fall in the order. You can tell a lot about someone just based on this seemingly simple question.
OK, maybe this isn't a super important question, but you have to know ASAP if you can quote Michael Scott or not. If not, he probably isn't the one. Sorry, girl.
You can then proceed to do the thing that every girl does without admitting it and see how compatible your zodiacs are.
If you're like me, you have big goals that you want to reach someday, and you want a man behind you who also has big goals and understands what it's like to chase after a dream. If his biggest goal is to see how quickly he can binge-watch "Grey's Anatomy" on Netflix, you may want to move on.
This is a go-to for an insight into their personality. Based on how they answer, you can tell if they're goofy, serious, or somewhere in between.
For some, this may be a hard question if it involves a family member or friend who has since passed away. For others, it may revolve around a tradition that no longer happens. The answers to this question are almost endless!
We all have parts of our lives and stories that we wish we could change. It's human nature to make mistakes. This question is a little bit more personal but can really build up the trust level.

Personally, I am a Christian, and as a result, I want to be with someone who shares those same values. I know some people will argue that this question is too much in the talking stage, but why go beyond the talking stage if your personal values will never line up?
Even homebodies have a must visit place on their bucket list!
Hey, if you're going to go for it... go for it!
For me, it was hands-down Nick Jonas. This is always a fun question to ask!
Let's be real, if you put a label on it, you're not going to see your significant other at their best 24/7.
This can lead to some really good conversations, especially if they have a tattoo that has a lot of meaning to them!
It's always interesting to see if how the person you're talking to views their personal traits lines ups with the vibes you're getting.
This question can go multiple different directions, and it could also be a launching pad for other conversations.
Admittedly, I have asked this question to friends as well, but it's neat to see what people value.
Work hard, play hard, right?

Surely, most of us are familiar with the classic Peanuts scenario by Charles M. Schulz: the beloved, wishy-washy Charlie Brown trying to get his kite in the air to no avail. He gets a good start, then it either gets tangled in the branches of the "stupid, kite-eating tree" or the wind sends it crashing to the ground-- not to mention the discouragement he constantly battles from the other kids.
In life, we can all relate to good ol' Chuck. Maintaining a dream is just like flying a kite-- some will have more luck than others, but we've all experienced obstacles while trying to get them in the air.
Each part in the art of kite-flying is symbolic: the kite itself represents your dream, the string is your faith, which connects you to your dream, and the wind represents opportunity. Once you have your kite, all you have to do is run with it. Of course, not every day will maintain a good atmosphere, which includes a wide open space and a moderate breeze. When that day comes, just give the string a little distance, and take off. Eventually, the wind will begin to pick up, and it'll start to float along.
As you keep letting your string go farther out, the wind will get stronger and it will push against the kite, lifting it higher into the air. Things may go pretty well at first, and once it's at a good height, all you have to do is keep a tight grip on the string as the wind supports it.
Unfortunately, the wind won't always be in your favor. It can either change direction and get your kite tangled into a "stupid, kite-eating tree" or stop completely and send it crashing to the ground. There might be some damage done to the kite if the destruction is great enough. However, that doesn't mean you're supposed to give up. Although Charlie Brown may have some pretty rotten luck, he is admirable for his perseverance-- no matter how many times he fails, he takes his kite, goes right back outside and tries again.
In addition to these obstacles, there's going to be a vast amount of discouragement. Charlie Brown was practically the laughing stock of the kids around him, but he always had one friend to offer some encouraging words and good advice: Linus Van Pelt. Linus, so young and yet so wise, reminds us that there will always be someone there to render support and good advice.
We all have a dream of some sort. If it seems possible to you, then go for it. Become what you want, go wherever your heart desires, and do what you want. Start off by running with it, and when opportunity knocks, get that kite in the air.
Even as the wind blows, hold on tight to that string.
