Date Questions To Ask
If you ever have been on a blind date you know how hard it is to get to know someone from scratch. The first few moments can be quite awkward while you are trying to figure out what to talk about.
Question and answer sessions can be too clinical if you are not careful though, especially if you only ask questions where yes and no suffice for answers.
If you are going to start asking questions then make sure they help the conversation start. Instead of just “Where do you work?” try asking “Where do you work and what are you job tasks?”
This way the person has to talk some about the duties they have at work. Hopefully this will lead them to ask you the same thing and the conversation can begin.
The best thing to do is to formulate some questions in your mind. No need to carry a list with you unless perhaps you are going speed dating than a list would actually be fine.
But for a regular blind date or date for that fact the questions being in your head is enough.
A sample of fun questions to ask on a date are provided below to get you started on thinking of what you want to ask.
Date Questions To Ask:
1. Where do you live and do you like living there? If you are on a blind date this is information you probably do not know ahead of time.
2. Where do you work and what does your job entail? This introduces the person with a question that they have to give an in-depth answer to, not just yes or no.
3. Is there anything you would like to know about me? This opens the door to some interesting conversation.
4. What is your educational background and how has it helped you in your job? This takes a conversational answer rather than a quick one.
5. Where were you born and when did you move here? This is especially helpful if the person has an accent that is not typical for the area you are living in.
