6 Conversation Starters for a Meaningful First Date
There is no doubt that dating is awkward. But there are a few ways to minimize the awkwardness, get to know your date, and help you both have a great time.
One of those ways is to ask the right questions. Asking your date the right questions can open up your discussion and lead the two of you to get in lost in conversation, which is always a win on a first date.
A few things before we dive in. Questions on a first date are not interview questions. Yes, they are helpful tools to get to know the person on the other side of the table, but they are not about investigating them or evaluating your compatibility. They are only about getting to know the other person.
It should never feel like you’re grilling your date or that one person is asking all the questions and the other is doing all the answering. Your questions should lead to conversations where you’re both chiming in.
You shouldn’t even think of these as questions, or little tests, but rather, conversation starters. With that being said, it’s important to note that you should only ask questions you feel comfortable asking as well.
