Overview
When a new person enters your life today, ask some thorough questions -- you need to get some details in order to understand whom you're dealing with. Don't think of this as an attempt to catch this person in a lie or to uncover some deep, dark secret. You don't have to turn the conversation into an interrogation -- keep it light and friendly. This person will, in fact, be flattered by your intense interest -- and may turn the tables with some pointed questions for you to answer.
