How to ask questions on a date
It’s important for you to feel like you can be yourself on a date and ask whatever you want to ask when you want to ask it (within reason of course). You will of course be a little nervous but you should try and relax as much as possible… it’s only a date after all and what’s the worst that can happen!?
You need to ask questions in order to get to know them, you will be expected to answer some after all. You will not be seen as being nosy if you go about asking the right kind of questions at a time when it feels right to ask them (go with gut feel every time).
When it comes to sensitive subjects like age, past relationships, family, job, religion etc there are clever ways of extracting the information without upsetting the atmosphere.
Try NOT to be as direct as asking someone’s age for example, try asking a question that will give you a clue, e.g. “What was your earliest memory?”
If you try this for all the things you want to know the date will go smoothly and you will get all the information you want as well as gain respect from your date for being sensitive.
Top Tips:
- If they look like they are struggling with an answer, turn the question round to yourself. This will relieve the pressure.
- Don’t be afraid to dig deeper. You’ll know when things are getting uncomfortable for them. This is the time to change subject.
- Don’t turn up with a clipboard. You’ll never see them again!
- If you are desperate to know an answer, be direct and get whety you want from them. No harm in this if it really matters to you.
