Questions for yourself:

• Am I putting myself first? Ahead is a wonderful time of new experiences and discoveries, but have you dedicated enough time to understanding yourself? Do you know yourself well, and do you love and take care of yourself? People undergo many transformations and rebirths throughout life. It's important for you to know what comfort and stability mean to you and bring that into the relationship.
• Do I trust my partner? You'll encounter many and various situations, conversations, and joint decisions. Therefore, you must be 100% sure that the person next to you is reliable and responsible. Do you trust them?
• Am I ready for this? Relationships require work every day, sometimes even more often. Ensure that the ground on which you plan to grow love and happiness for many years isn't poisoned by the experiences of past relationships.

Questions for your partner:

• What is valuable to you? And here we're not talking about political or religious views. Of course, you may have differences, but you must know that it's very dangerous to agree with your partner's beliefs at any cost on matters that are crucial to you. Therefore, it's important to align your core values before moving forward.
• What do you dream about? The answer to this question changes with age, experience, etc. But it's important to understand if, at this stage, you're at least looking in the "same direction"?
• Is there anything I should know about? Of course, everyone had their story "before," and now is the time to talk if there's a past involving drugs, alcohol, gambling, illnesses, traumas, etc. No matter how much you'd like to ignore or conceal something, it's crucial to mention it right away, because "everything hidden always becomes clear," and this can significantly shake the trust in a couple.
