By a certain age, many young adults and adults begin to feel the pressure of parents, family members, peers, coworkers, and just society in general, that they need to "get married and settle down." While some may have dreamt of getting married and/or having children since a young age, it's not be the case for everyone.

Whether you're happy being single, single and ready to mingle, dating someone (unofficially or officially), or in love with a partner, curiosity and self-preservation leads us to ask prospective partners certain questions so that we can really get to know them.

​Most of us have probably heard or seen this question being asked or brought up on TV shows, movies, or even by those around us. Heck, maybe you've even asked this question in the past!
