40 Questions To Ask If You Really Want To Get To Know Someone

I have recently rejoined the world of blogging and joined up with a pretty amazing blog support group. I thought now is a good time to let you all know a little bit about me. 

1. What’s your philosophy in life? Don't judge people for the choices they make when you don't know the options they had to choose from. 

2. What’s the one thing you would like to change about yourself? I am a HUGE procrastinator! I hate that about myself. 

3. Are you religious or spiritual? Spiritual 

4. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? I am definitely an extrovert to a fault 

5. Which parent are you closer to and why? I plead the fifth 

6. What was the best phase in your life? I would say that it was when my son was born but I feel like I'm currently in the best phase of my life. I feel like I am finally where I was meant to be. 

7. What was the worst phase in your life? I feel like to pick one is difficult. I've had quite the journey. I will say that my 20's were difficult for me.  I was lost and searching for something in all the wrong places.  When Jake was born visually impaired and I didn't know what his future looked like and also when I went through my separation and divorce. 

8. Is what you’re doing now what you always wanted to do growing up? When I was little I wanted to be either a photographer or a zoologist. I am a Human Resources Manager. Lol. I love what I do though. I still love photography. 

9. What makes you feel accomplished? I feel accomplished when I effectively complete what I set out to do. Especially since I am a huge procrastinator. 

10. What’s your favorite book/movie of all time and why did it speak to you so much? Too many to name. This would be a topic of a post all by itself. 

11. What is a relationship deal breaker for you? Dishonesty. If you lie to me you don't respect me. 

12. Are you more into looks or brains?  Brains but I was lucky to find someone with both. Playing trivia crack with Mr. J is not always fun for me. 

13. Would you ever take back someone who cheated? Nope

14. How do you feel about sharing your password with your partner? Of course! No secrets. 

15. When do you think a person is ready for marriage? What works for one doesn't work for the other so I can't say. 

16. What kind of parent do you think you will be? I am a parent and I am better at it than I ever thought I would be. I come off as an over protective Mama Bear but I am my sons advocate. Until he is able to advocate for himself I am his voice. 

17. What would you do if your parents didn’t like your partner? My parents are non judgmental people so if they do not like them there is a good reason. 

18. Who is that one person you can talk to about just anything? Mr. J of course. I also have a lot of very close friends that I trust with deepest secrets.

23. What do you think of best friends of the opposite sex? I will be honest. I am not cool with it. Sorry. 

24. Do you judge a book by its cover? I am the least judgmental person I know. I think that comes from experience because I will say I used to be the most judgmental person I know.

34. What are your thoughts on online dating or tinder? I have a confession that I am not ready to disclose. Stay tuned.
