Family And Background
Our backgrounds shape who we are. These questions allow others to understand your family, upbringing, and experiences that have shaped you. They provide an opportunity to share the stories and moments that have influenced your perspective and values.
Texas-based psychologist Dr. Krista Jordan opines, “Intimacy is built by exchanging personal and vulnerable information. Even on a first date, this can happen when you ask your date something like, ‘Do you have siblings?’ and they say, ‘Yes.’ You can increase the intimacy a step further by saying, ‘I have two brothers, but unfortunately, we have grown apart as adults.’
“If your date wants to build on that intimacy from there they can say something like, ‘Well I am close to my sister but I have grown away from my parents, so I know that can happen and it’s kind of disappointing.’”
