Regardless of the stage of a relationship, there is always so much more we can learn about each other.

Good question. Eharmony is FILLED with them!!
Some I found interesting as well as very useful - What do you see yourself doing in 10 years? What passion do you have that you hope you can share with your SO? What are you looking for in a relationship partner? What is your idea of a romantic date after being in a relationship for a year? What is your idea of an adventure?
I have a terrible time asking questions like that and not having it sound like an interview.
I guess I pulled alot from my old "question bank" as a board CL, for times like these. Not always meant to find out if a man is worth keeping or not- but it would at least be fun conversation starters.
What hobby or interest in your life brings you the most happiness or passion?
What are some fun vacation trips you took as a child? Would you want to revisit those places again now that you're grown?
What is a dream vacation spot, if money and time is no object?
What is your dream job, if money is not a factor?
What are some of the favorite things you like the most about your parents/friends/siblings/yourself?
What is your favorite season, and why?
What do you think happens when you time travel? And do you think it is really possible? Where would you go, if you could time travel? Suppose you time traveled to a time when you were 7 yrs old- would you see your 7-yr old self there, or would the 7-yr old self disappear because the "now-you" are now there? And if you could see the 7-yr old you, would the 7-yr old you be able to see the now-you?
It's actually a running joke between me and my best male friend, that no man I'm seeing is worth keeping if he refuses to ponder the time travel question. LOL We used to enjoy discussing that one... but when I asked my ex that one, he refused to "play" and thought it was pointless to answer it, as he didn't think it was possible to do.
Really... questions can come from anywhere, and they can be as silly or as serious as you would want. I love asking questions and one thing that Hiker has shown me is that he doesn't mind my odd questions, and that alone is a keeper-sign! My ex used to hate these odd questions and like that time-travel one... it just showed how close-minded he was, but I didn't see it that way at the time. Now I know, that if a man just can't "play" with the questions (or even come up with his own! that would score points with me, if he did!)- then he's not worth keeping. It's all a matter of being able to handle verbal conversation and accepting others' thoughts and ideas and the ability to discuss opinions without there having to be a right or wrong.
