You should google your full name and see what pops up. That itself is like a background check.

You must be a popular person to date then. I found aspergers linked to my name based on a meetup group I joined. I reacted by deleting myself from that group because they aren't active anyway.

I'm EDIT when using first name and first surname. Nothing special on my two first names, altough I liked seeing a photo of Ernesto Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos. With those two names and my surname though, that's actually me in there :lol:

You are also considered one of the best soccer players in Spain if you only look for your second name/surname unless Im mistaken(I think I saw you using your second name at some post a year ago or further than that, I have a good memory)

Most of those questions sound fine to me. I assume you asked her back, after each one, so it was more like a conversation than a one-way interview. If you just answered then let her keep asking the next one and the next one, well, you kinda allowed it to turn out that way.

Though if she asked, e.g. "What do you do for work?" and you said "I work at <such and such>" and she didn't even acknowledge your answer but just moved on to the next without a breath, yeah that's odd.

I'd flip the table on her and walk away.
It's not that I don't mind sharing about myself, but that's just painfully boring to tell about myself when asked detailed questions.

Seen girls do this online as well and asking these stupidest f*****g questions and when I tell them an answer they jump right on to the next one as if I didn't say anything.

It depends. There are people that can be interested in you but they can't be subtle. Not all the people know how to behave on a first date.



Anyway, I never ask a man about his job, because I know it's a question that make them think I only want their money. I find it quite sad, because your job is a very important part of your life. You spend hours there. Sometimes it is even vocational. It's a basic question. But as I said, I never ask that one anymore. I don't want them thinking I'm a gold digger when I only want to know them more. I don't want to be prejudged.

True is, we are all examined on a first date, but sometimes it's just too much.

I hardly ever think about questions such as "what do you do for work", that early on. I wouldn't think they thought I was a gold digger if I asked though, it's just curiosity, I am self sufficient and independent enough. I take pride in being able not to depend on anyone for material security. Even if I had to go through rough times (which I have), I wouldn't ever like to depend on anyone else to survive.

I tend to ask unusual questions if I am interested in someone romantically, or so I am told.

I know I am not everyone's cup of tea, as they say here, but at least I am genuine and always try to keep true to myself.

Yes, mature women don't ask about work and money so quickly.

They understand that men fear to be gold-digged as much women fear to be sexually exploited - it's the same level of fear.

Men can be as much a gold digger, as any woman can.
