Online dating: Questions to ask before you meet in real

This question is deeper than how it appears at face value, and their response would answer more than just the base question. This question will help you gain insight into their personality.
Who is your biggest role model?

The same question can be thrown at you, so stay prepared.
Where does your family live? Do you see them often?
A person who is close to their family understands commitment at a deeper level. The upbringing of a person defines their attachment style and how well they can maintain a relationship. Get to know how strong their relationships with each parent are.
