One of the hardest things we have to do as human beings is communicate…effectively.  When we meet someone new this is difficult as we do not know the person and yet want to know everything.  It is not in my personality to ask questions.  I find that in the “real” world that by genuinely listening most will open up over time and sahre what their thoughts are.  On the internet it is far more difficult to get a stranger to bare their truth. One of the things that I have been asked on many occasions was if I would ask questions about the other to “break the ice” and initiate some conversation.

The following is a list of some things that I would like to know about another.

We decided that we would actually answer some of these questions. If you see any of the question lines in bold text it will contain a link to our answers.
