Questions To Ask On a First Date

Conversation starters can literally save your life on a
first date.

Why?

Well, as you know, going on a first date can be very scary
and intimidating. Our minds are overcome with fear and
insecurities and we cave in to those emotions.

We’re scared of being rejected, we’re afraid of failure,
we’re nervous about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time
and we’re anxious about what our date will think of us.

All these anxieties are totally human and completely
understandable – but they produce devastating results: they
paralyze us and greatly inhibit our ability to behave
normally and confidently like we do with our family and with
our closest friends.

Our personal fears lead us to the most uncomfortable
situation where we feel a terrible lack of confidence, all
stressed out, angry and frustrated. The bottom line is that
we’re doomed to end up in the most annoying, embarrassing
and even humiliating situation, which we all know as that
“awkward silence”.

Believe it or not, most of us do have the capacity to carry
on a fluid, easy-going and enjoyable conversation with
people we have known for years – so, with the right
approach, it shouldn’t be any different with the woman we’re
on a first date with.

And the right approach is… conversation starters!

Preparing a list of topics and questions that you can use on
the first date can do wonders for your dating skills.

When you have an arsenal of conversation starters – it’s
very easy to keep the conversation going.

You always have something to say, you develop a lively
conversation like there’s nothing to it, you’re not nervous,
“stuck” or “blocked” and you can avoid the awkward silence
disaster pretty easily.

Here are 10 conversation starters that you can use on your
next first date:

·Has any book had a major impact on you?

·What was the best bargain you ever found?

·What’s the most annoying thing someone could do on a first
date?

·What's the most unusual thing you know how to do?

·Is there anything you can’t say "no" to?

·What food could they not pay you enough to eat?

·Who are your cult heroes? Why?

·What was the craziest thing you ever did when you were a
kid?

·If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

·What would be the title of your biography?

There are so many conversation starters that can work for
you fantastically. They can serve as a great base for a
flowing, lively, enjoyable conversation that can let your
date learn about the “real you” while you leave all the
pressure, anxiety and fear behind you.

Don’t leave home to go out on a first date empty-handed.
Sit down, prepare some great conversation starters, memorize
and practice them and your chances for a great date will
increase drastically.

Questions, Questions and More Questions

by Pat Stevens


After you have had a few dates with someone and you think it might be going somewhere, you begin to ask more serious questions about their childhood, family, job etc.


Eventually the relationship might progress to where the really tough questions must be asked. Like "have you ever slept with someone without using a condom" or "how much debt do you have"? There is no easy way to bring up these questions.

Recently, I received a copy of Michael Webb's newest book, 1000 Questions for Couples: What you absolutely must know about the person you are with. This book is going to make those difficult questions much easier to ask.

The questions start off easy like "Has anyone dear to you died? How did you handle it" and "About what things are you most selfish." They slowly progress (just like your relationship should) until you get to those questions that you simply can't avoid if you are going to commit your life to living with someone. There are questions on drug addictions, abuse, child rearing, finances and lots of questions about sex. And because these questions are coming from a book, you don't feel like "you" are asking them.

A special bonus that I really liked was the option to get 3-5 of the book's questions emailed to me each day. That way I could forward the questions on to my beloved and we could each read over them and forward the answers to each other that night. I can see where this would be very valuable for those in long distance relationships.


While there are a lot of questions in this book that are crucial for couples in the dating stage, the majority of the questions are useful for people who are already married. If you value your relationship, I urge you to ask these 1000 Questions for Couples. read more
