Before love blinds your eye and you even begin to consider going on a first date with your crush, you need to know these nine things.

Some of them you’ll have to ask your crush directly, but for others, you’ll need the Sherlock Holmes in you.

1. Do you have coconut head?

This will help you determine whether to look for who will be separating your fights. Coconut head plus coconut head equals wahala.

2. Cereal before milk or milk before cereal?

In fact, get cereal and milk for them to show you a demo ASAP.

3. What is the worst food combo you have eaten?

You need to know if your crush manifests the eating habits of cultists early enough.

4. Do you like plantain?

The minute you see their mouth forming the word “No” run for your life.

5. Which of the swallows do you slander?

Whether it’s fufu, eba, semo or amala, determine which slander you can tolerate and act accordingly.

6. Can you get married?

If marriage is one of your core values, then the earlier you know, the better. Before you’ll fall in love with someone who has sworn to never have anything to do with wedding a ring.

7. Do you eat ass?

Better talk now oh if you’re into that. This is not the time to be shy.

8. Were you active during the #ENDSARS protests?

If they can’t stand up to fight against an injustice that affects them, is it you they will stand up for in time of trouble? Think about it.

9. Is this your real name?

Very important. Before you go on a date and hear their mother call one twenty-two letters name over the phone.
