Dating can be emotionally draining and disappointing. How would you like to find a great way to quickly tell whether or not someone is worth dating and having a love relationship?

Of course, there's no fool-proof way to be sure that someone who romantically interests you will turn out to be the love of your life. But there is a unique way to make sure you're at least going out with someone who is worth dating and getting to know. You can do this by asking the person thoughtful questions based on your astrological birth sign. Their answers will reveal if they're likely to satisfy the most basic needs you have in a romantic relationship.

However, the "secret sauce" is in the questions. They are based on the unique character, traits and needs of your Sun sign, which give insights into your romantic, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, economic and sexual needs.

How To Use These Questions

Find your sign among the 12 shown. Ask your five questions in your own style and words. They don't have to be asked, literally, as written or all during your first meeting. Feel free to ask them as you get to know the person.

These questions have been designed to be "open-ended" to promote discussion and to insure that you get a more truthful response. What you learn in your conversation will help you decide whether this is someone you would enjoy dating and having a relationship. If you're a woman, here are the questions you should ask before you say, "yes" to a date.
