Top questions to ask someone on a first date

Posted by Hayden Allen-Vercoe on Wed 27th December 2006 at 05:54 AM, Filed in Tips For First Dates

Getting to the date stage is tough enough for many of us… then you have to think about whether they will like you, you will like them and all that other crap!

That’s why I wrote this article… so you don’t have to worry any more about what questions to ask on the date – just use this as guidance. It is so important to get good, honest and open answers from them and that’s why they are quite broad topics so will lead onto other conversation. We all hate awkward silences.

Don’t whatever you do turn up with one of these!

The key is to understand a topic you are both comfortable with and go from there. So in no particular order:

1 – What was the most embarrassing moment of your life?
A great one to ease the atmosphere, smiles will appear and you will immediately see their sense of humour. Don’t forget that you will probably be asked the same question.

2 – What are your ambitions in life?
Useful question to see just how ambitious and driven they really are. Try not to get into too heavy a conversation about it as it can end up like a job interview!

3 – Have you travelled, and if so where was your favourite place?
Test how culturally aware they are. Travelling is always a great topic to bring up as there are always loads of stories attached to it. It can also tell you how adventurous they are / have been.

4 – What was the best gig you’ve ever been to?
The subject of music is extremely broad, but great to talk about because it will no doubt be something that you definitely both have in common. This particular question will tell you just how wild they were / have been!

5 – Where do you prefer to shop for clothes?
A strange one you may be thinking, but a question that will reveal a huge amount of information, especially if they are female. You can tell how much they spend on themselves, how they match their personality to specific brands, and just how much they care for themselves.
