Yup.
Might be better yet to find out even before the first date to minimize the risk/pain to both parties - before anyone gets their hopes up, starts fantasizing or starts rationalizing about how great the person was, how well they got along, how attractive they were, how "it might not matter" and how everything "might be ok anyway".
Lay it all out on the table before either party wastes time, money or effort on a train going to nowhere.
Spouse/mate decisions SHOULD ALWAYS be some of the most important decisions ever made as they determine what kind of life one is going to have, with whom they're going to share it, what religion(s) they'll follow, how they'll handle finances, what types of habits they'll live with, how they handle conflict, what type of relationships they'll have with extended family, where they'll live, if they're going to have kids and how the they're going to raise them, etc., etc., etc. (Perhaps all this will force more people to make better life choices?)
'Sounds harsh, but if things shake out the way it seems they might, these interactions and relationship decisions may be matters of life and death.
