The dating phase of any relationship is all about getting to know the other person. But most of us don’t want to feel like we’re being interviewed. This doesn’t mean you can’t ask questions, it just means that you may have to get creative about how you ask. Here are some interesting date questions to ask that won’t leave you or your date annoyed.
Ask About Favorites
A great way to get to know someone is to find out what some of their favorite things are. Don’t ask typical favorite questions though, be specific. Ask what a favorite midnight snack is. This question is unexpected and fun, and can give you ideas for future dates. Instead of asking about favorite movies, ask what their favorite guilty pleasure movie is. These are always fun to ask and answer, and lead to further conversation.
Personal Questions
At some point in the conversation you may want to know more about your dates family, job, or sex life. It’s probably not a good idea to delve in to these on a first date, but you can get a taste by asking questions that lead to further conversation. Ask about their favorite holiday memory to open the door about family. Find out about their childhood by asking what they would say to their 10 year old self now if they had the opportunity. Ask who they would want to be reincarnated as to open the door to a religious discussion. Ask what song best fits them to get a better idea of what kind of personality they have. The really deep questions can wait until a later date.
