You meet someone new and develop a major crush. Hanging out, flirty texting and FaceTiming with them is sweet and funny and you find them amazingly attractive.

Before you turn up the heat, there are things you may want to know to help you determine if this prospect could actually be the romantic partner of your dreams.

There are probably a million questions running through your mind, but you can't ask them all. So, which questions should you ask your crush?

Curiosity varies with each individual since people have different priorities. However, there are some basic things everyone wants to know and others that are more personal to your own needs or mindset.

As you consider how to gather the essential deets about your future lover, it's important to remember this vital fact: While you're judging others to see if they meet your standards, they're also judging you.

If you rush in with a series of invasive questions, you may run off your suitor. Yes, you should absolutely pre-screen for red flags, but there's an easier way.

Shift your focus on making a good first impression. That's a heck of a lot easier to do when having a more relaxed conversation.

It's likely that loaded questions may make your crush feel triggered and defensive. They don't want to think about an ex while meeting you — and you don't want that either.

You'd be far better off finding out how they like to spend their free time, what books or movies they enjoy, and where they traveled on their last vacation. These questions are more pleasant to answer and allow passions and preferences to show.

Top priority questions to ask your crush

1. "Are you single?"

Yes, this is worth asking because there are people in open relationships or marriages, looking for extracurricular activities.

2. "Do you live and work locally?"

It's a lot easier to date someone who lives and works locally. When your date lives or works out of town, coordination can become a problem and many things can get in the way of getting together.

Be smart and make your love life easier — date local.

3. "Do we have anything in common?"

You don't need to be like twins and love all the same activities. Yet, a like few of the same things can indict you may be good together.

Maybe you have a similar background or interest in art which would be wonderful common ground.

4. "What's your idea of fun?"

There are countless ways to enjoy life and if you both like to ski, go to the beach or enjoy learning about history or cultures, that's great.

But if one of you lives for football and the other hates sports, that might not work.

5. "What do you think about religion?"

This is not important to everyone, but if religion matters to you, better find out before you even meet.

This should be a big qualifier and is easy enough to ask about.

6. "Where are you, politically?"

With the political climate being so polarized today if politics are important to you, get this question out of the way from the start.

There's no point in ignoring such a taboo topic if you'll end up in an argument about the senate.

7. "What type of relationship are you seeking?"

If you are looking for a serious relationship that could lead to marriage, say so.

You can feel free to ask what your online crush is looking for on the site or app, so you don't waste time on a person who doesn't want the same thing.

No matter how hot or exciting your crush is, if you want something long-term and they want to date around, you have to walk away. Otherwise, you're sure to face heartbreak.

Don't hope to change that person’s mind. Move on to find someone who has the same dating agenda.
