So you've met your perfect guy. You like the same music, sports, and he actually looked
00:09
better than his photo on the app. One more thing, before you get all googly-eyed and start talking
00:14
forever, you need to discuss finances and make sure you're on the same page about that. So
00:19
awkward though, right? Financial psychologist Brad Klontz tells CNBC that around the same date
00:24
you're talking about whether or not the person wants to have kids or where they want to live
00:28

issues. There's low-key ways to get the pulse on how your potential partner feels about money,
00:51
asking where they go or want to go on vacation, what date ideas they suggest or are comfortable
00:56

your dreams for the future. You can tell a lot by what someone is planning for. When you
01:04
get down to a more serious time in the relationship, perhaps some straight-to-the-point questions are
01:09
in order. Do you use a budget? What are you saving for? What are your short-term plans? What
01:14
are your long-term plans? As always, respect and communication are key when discussing any important
01:20
matters, especially finances.
