Nobody was suggesting a list of written questions. The point of the thread was to determine what information you would need to evaluate potential compatibility or conflict, and do it without wasting too much time or resources. Of course everybody has different concerns and priorities.

Hands down, first question, on the first date... Yo Babe, bring enough cash to entertain me in a manner to which I'd like to become accustomed?

That question would certainly narrow the choices.

As far as wasting time, sometimes just being with another person is enough. If your time is that valuable (to you) perhaps you shouldn't be wasting it dating in the first place.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with someone about a hobby, and he stated that his time was too valuable to spend on certain activities. My thought was that your time is worth nothing unless someone is willing to pay you for it, and then only what they will pay, regardless how much you might ask.
