3. It’s handy that the article puts this question first. Because let’s be honest, if someone asks you this question on a first date and your answer is “No”, then maybe dating is not for you.
4. This is a tricky question to ask, since your date may think you are either implying they are (or should be) a sex worker or that you are one. Exercise caution.

Polygamy? niqabs? Wife-beating? Triple talaq? Women worth 1/2 a man?
Learn how they’re actually good things, because something something 9/11
