Social media influencer, Simisanya, and wife to popular videographer, Femi Dapson, has advised singles to use the talking stage to ask practical questions that can reveal compatibility before committing to a relationship, rather than waiting until marriage plans begin.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Talk Your Talk podcast, Simisanya stressed that conversations before dating should go beyond romance and cover important issues such as genotype, personality, lifestyle, and values.

According to her, one of the first things people should find out is each other’s genotype to avoid future heartbreak.
“You get some things people can take. People should ask, ‘Are you AS or SS? Are you AA?’ So that if we actually date and later decide we want to marry, we won’t start running around when we discover we’re not compatible.”

She also encouraged people to ask about everyday habits that could affect a relationship, including domestic expectations.
“Those are talking-stage questions. Ask, ‘Do you like fresh food?’ Because I don’t know how to cook, we might not be compatible.”
Simisanya added that a person’s behaviour on social media can also reveal a lot about their character, saying it is important to know if a potential partner constantly engages in online fights or trolling.
“Do you always go and fight on Twitter? Do you beat girls? Are you a banga boy? Are you always on Instagram commenting and fighting? Are you a troll?”
She further advised people to pay attention to how a potential partner treats others online, especially women, and to ask whether they are naturally generous or stingy before entering a relationship.
“Do you normally insult girls who ask questions like, ‘What do you bring to the table?’ Are you stingy? Are you generous? Those are very important questions.”
According to Simisanya, asking these questions early helps both people understand whether they are truly compatible and can prevent unnecessary conflicts or disappointments later in the relationship.
