Five Questions

Meme Blog?    

     Imagine you want to get to know someone and you can ask only five questions.  What would you ask?  What would you most want to know? 

     Obviously it depends on the context–you’d ask different questions of someone you’re dating vs. a job interviewee vs. a customer vs. someone your daughter is dating.  These are five questions I would ask someone that I wanted to get to know in general and I wasn’t considering hiring them or dating them or selling them something or having my daughter date them.  (Some of these questions are ones I would ask as an adult or upper classman high school student.)

1.)  Do you have a job? - This would be a good question to ask because you would know if they are a hard worker and what kind of things they are involved in or interested in.

2.)  Do you live with your parents? - If I were to ask this now I would find out whether their parents were divoriced or if they lived with their grandparents.  If I asked this as an adult I would know if they were married or lived by themself.

3.)  Do you have any hobbies? - This is always a great question to ask because you will know if you share any of the same interests as the person.

4.)  Do you have any pets? - I would ask this because I love animals so I would find out if they liked animals or if they didn’t or if they were allergic to any animals.

5.)  What words would you use to descibe yourself? - This would let me know what the person thinks of themself and whether they have good self esteem or not. 

     At this age, the most important question for me to ask I think would be the one about their hobbies.  As an adult I think the most important question would be if they had a job.  Comment me on which you think would be the most important to ask.  You could pick a question you came up with on your own, or one that I listed.  :)
