How many dates before you start discussing serious issues (religious preferences, desire for kids, life goals, etc.)?

How long before it's appropriate to bring up these issues? I don't want to bring them up too soon, but if I wait too long (and it turns out we have different goals), it seems like I'll have wasted my time (and his!). Thoughts?

Life goals would be a good first date question. It kinda let's you know how motivated the person is and what he/she is all about. I'm sure you've heard to not discuss religion and politics, everyone's views are different, but as long as the person seems reasonable, you could work it into the conversation on the second or third date. I would start with soft questions in those fields though. Kids, marriage, etc... is probably best left for down the road.

If religion is important to you right off the bat, but these days I don't think its a critical issue anymore. Talk about kids, life goals and all the great stuff whenever it comes up. Neither person should have anything to hide. You look young so remember, people change. Your life goals could easily change ever year as could another guy or gals. The only issue that should be discussed right of the bat is STDs, you can't play around in that department these days.
