When you meet someone new, what kind of questions do you ask?
Do you ask if they spell grey with an “e” or “a”, if they prefer tea to coffee and if they always lay their bed before leaving the house?
Do you ask if they pick out their clothes the night before or just wing it every morning?
Do you ask if they believe in God and pray every morning and anytime they feel like during the day?
Do you ask what they pray for if they do?
Do you ask if they remember the last time they said “sorry” and “thank you”?
Do you ask if they read books, listen to music and watch the news?
Do you ask how often they talk to their family?
Do you ask if they want children?
Do you ask what they think about choosing to follow your passion and dreams over your current career?
Do you ask why they approached you or thought you will be worth knowing?
Do you ask how many new people they have met recently?
Do you wonder if they will be bothered by your questions so you don’t end up asking them though they are important to you?
Do you?
