Meeting someone for an arranged marriage can bring butterflies in your stomach. From general hobbies to discussing real life issues, you can discuss everything. How to begin the conversation? This question hampers a lot many. And, if you are here, I am sure you are about to meet someone and are feeling the chills.
To help you out, I have created a list of questions that will help you build your conversation.
The purpose of meeting this somebody is to gauge whether this is a potential life partner or not. After you are done with asking about the initial family background, education and work experience, you need to dig deeper.
Where do you see yourself five years down the road?
It might sound like an interview question, but your roadmap should be clear. You should be clear in your mind if you see the same future. Your aspirations might be different, but you would be able to judge if you are ready to take the journey together.
What is your idea of a perfect vacation?
You might be a beach person and the person you are meeting might be a mountain person. But, the general idea of a vacation should match for both of you. Also, traveling idea reflects a lot about one’s personality. Therefore, this questions makes a lot of sense.
What do you do when you’re alone or bored?
How one spends their day also reflects the personality. If you find the answer to this question is vague and boring, you can come to a conclusion that there are very less things that interest the other person. It is going to be tough job to keeping them interested. So think before you take the next step.
Whom are you closest to in your family?
This question will give you an understanding about whom the other person listens to most so that you can go to in case of problems (if you land up together).
Have you ever lived alone?
To understand the dependability of the person on other people, this is the easiest way. Someone who knows how to be independent will give you your space. You might not be able to judge the cooking and other household chores capability but you can definitely read the mind-set.
So, if you like your ‘me’ time just like I do, be certain that you choose an independent partner.
It is obviously very difficult to come to a conclusion after the first meet. But, having a decent conversation will give you an idea if you want to meet again.
So, go there and decide.
