This article emphasizes the importance of open communication in new relationships, especially regarding future expectations. It suggests nine questions compiled by a relationship therapist to help individuals avoid misunderstandings and set clear boundaries.
If you're looking to settle down with someone, ask them these questions first. If you’re looking to settle down into a healthy relationship in 2025, you’ll need to get off on the right foot. Of course, it can be easy to get swept up in the romance of it all. The sexual attraction, the chemistry, the back-and-fourth banter over drinks in a bar and late night phone calls are enough to make anyone swoon.
But in the New Year, singles are going to be focused on ‘future proofing’ their relationships, according to dating site Bumble, with 95% of them saying that their hopes for their future are impacting who and how they date. This means important conversations that were once reserved for further down the line, are now being broached in the early stages of dating, with more than a quarter of women looking to discuss relationship issues before becoming exclusive. With that in mind we thought we’d share the nine questions you should be asking your date before you take that next step. Thought of by Jeff, known as Therapy Jeff on TikTok, who is a licensed professional counsellor specialising in relationships, the questions are designed to help avoid any misunderstandings in your partnership. They’re also intended to set clear boundaries, get a feel for how that person is in a relationship and to check that you want the same things. So, without further ado, let’s dive in with the juiciest question of all… It can be easy to avoid the tough conversations at the start of a new relationship. Does anyone else think they’re in a relationship with you right now? Saying you’re not in a relationship is one thing but knowing that you might have lead someone on – even if you don’t have any desire to continue seeing them – is another. Jeff says: ‘This is different from “are you in a relationship right now?
