Awkward silence is the killer of promising first dates. So, Here is our list of first date questions. Perfect for finding things that you have in common with your date.
Remember the purpose of these questions is to ease you into a natural conversation, not just pepper them with questions. Once you have found a topic that you both have in common, spend some time finding out more. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation after all.
That being said, it’s natural for there to be some lulls in the conversation. So, it’s a good idea to choose some of these first date questions as a fall back if the silence gets a little too awkward.
Oh, and remember to ask lots of follow questions and give elaborate answers to their questions, so they have something to work with.
It seems like most of the people are afraid of their first date and getting to know each other because it’s always a question of what to say, and how to leave a good impression. Science has put fingers here and offered questions for a date conversation to help you sweep your partner off his feet.
While your questions should be thought-provoking, your partner should be able to answer them without missing too much of a beat; people feel dumb when they have to do the “Hmmm, boy, well, oooh, that’s a tough one” thing, and struggle to come up with a response. A good gauge of whether a question hits the sweet spot is simply to ask yourself the question, and see if you both enjoy thinking about it and can pretty readily imagine how you’d respond.
Finally, while the follow-up question doesn’t have to exactly relate to the standard question you first forward, obviously the more closely it does relate, the more natural the segue will be. So choose a follow-up in the moment, based on what your date has said, and connect it to something she offered in her response.
Enjoy these selected dating questions and give your relation a little spice.
