Casual Dating: What questions can you ask to clarify dating status?

[Tropicana]

Men hate getting the 3rd degree. Yet, I have found that problems that pop up down the road usually come from not asking enough questions.

So, what questions can a woman ask to clarify the status of a relationship. I mean especially in this day of AIDS before you isn't it important to know if the guy is rooksin other women.

Also, why get your heart broken thinking the relationship is exclusive when it isn't. Men can hang around for months or even years without bringing up the exclusivity discussion so it is usually the woman who has to do it and that is often the kiss of death for the relationship.

So please pop in and offer some re: how one can clarify the nature of the relationship. How humiliating it would be fe and have the guy say you are not my girlfriend, I am not attracted to you never was, this was just a friends with benefits boot call relationship.

I don't know

"Where do you see this relationship going"....doesn't seem to be popular with men.

That question is guaranteed to send most men running for the hills. Every one of my suggested questions to determine if the guy is a player got shot down by the men on here.

How about:

I just want to make sure we are on the same page here, are you dating anyone else?

They could still say they aren't dating anyone and it turns out that they are in a friends with benefits or booty call situation.

Let's try this.

I just want to make sure we are on the same page here, are you dating anyone else or having sex with anyone ?'

I have at times asked:

When was the last time you had sex?

But even that doesn't cover it if they give the right answer and a few days later have sex with someone.
