10 Great Questions To Ask Your Partner on Your First Date

It is very common to feel awkward on your first date. I had few experiences like that and I don’t want that to happen again. But it’s awful to only feel that way throughout the whole duration of your time spent together. There’s a big chance that you won’t ace a second date with him/her. The best way to feel comfortable with each other is to get the conversation going.

But it’s hard if you don’t know how. Start with telling about yourself and let your partner do the same. Just make sure that you only share what is suitable. Yes, I know that it’s important to be honest all the time but you also need to keep some of your ugly secrets to not turn him/her off on your first date.

There would probably be stillness in between conversations but never allow a series of silence get in. Asking questions is a life saver. Not just questions for the sake of asking but for you to have something to analyze if this person is the one you’d like to keep seeing.

1. What do you look for in a man/woman?
Aside from the physical things that he/she would say and that you might luckily all have, this will also reveal the person’s dreams and romantic goals.

2. What do you like to do in your free time?
This will surely help you know if he/she likes to do activities indoor or outdoor. It would be great if your spare time activities match.

3. What is the most annoying thing that a person could do to you?
Share a laugh about what annoys you, and then ask him/her about it too. This will reveal her likes and dislikes.

4. Where do you see yourself in five years time?
Not all people know how they see their lives years from now. But most of those who have future plans have positive dreams for their lives. So go figure.

5. What is your dream job?
This will help you discover what drives him or her. It could be money, adrenaline or family bliss.

6. What do you think is the main fault that men/women make in their relationship?
The answer to this question will help you know about his/her expectations from the opposite sex and it will also let you know the things that turn him/her off.

7. What happened with your last relationship?
This will definitely reveal a lot about the person’s nature. It will help you know if this person you’re dating with knows how to own half the responsibility of a ruined relationship or just knows how to blame.

8. What’s your favorite possession?
The answer to this question can be very enlightening, too. You will discover the thing that is most important to your date. It could be his/her car or the pendant that was given by his/her mom.

9. What is your most embarrassing moment?
Sharing experiences could be really fun. It will also help you both lessen the tension in your first date.

10. What kind of music do you love to listen to?
This will help you know the type of music that he/she listens to. It will expose his/her taste, character, and culture.

There are probably hundreds of great questions to ask. But just remember that there are certainly some things that you shouldn’t ask in your first date especially if it’s about money, sexual habits, religion, politics, and other things that have more possible opening for an argument. Now that you got plenty of great questions on your pocket, go find your date! 🙂
