I enjoy trading stories with people. So I ask questions. And I'm socially adept enough that they're questions I would easily and comfortably answer to someone who I don't know very well.

On a meet-and-greet and the first few dates, I'm going to gather as much compatibility data as I can, within the bounds of pleasant company. The scenario I seek to avoid at all costs is that some sort of attachment develops, or assumptions are made, before either of us knows who the fuck we're doing business with.
Indeed. I'm naturally curious, as well, and love interacting with people and learning their stories. With regard to the knowing with whom you're doing business with I've had 3 proposals of marriage in the 2 years I've really been dating. One even offered to purchase her own ring. Unreal!!
