You finally get the date you've been wanting for awhile. The perfect clothes are picked out, your hair looks great, and it's all coming together. The only problem is that you don't know what to say or talk about.
The top five questions to ask during a first date are:
1. What do you do for a living? [Or] What is your major? You should get to know what the person is interested in from this. Also it will reveal life goals, and maybe some dreams for the future.
2. Were you the dumper or dumpee in past relationships? This will open him up to future talk about relationships. This will show you if they passive or submissive in relationships.
3. Are you the kind of person I could bring home to my mom and dad? This question is more if you know that you want to pursue a relationship with this person. Just try not to lead them on if you are not interested
4. What is the wildest thing you've ever done? The answer to this question should reveal a lighter side to your date. This can ease first date jitters. Hopefully this will open both of you up to further conversation
5. Do you kiss on the first date? You should never assume that your date wants to be kissed on the first date. So always ask. Do not ask this question unless you are interested in the person and want to go out again.
In addition to these questions you need to ask yourself, one very important question. What am I feeling with this person? Do I feel comfortable? Do I want to get to know this person better? These are the most important questions because ultimately you are the person who will decide if the first date will lead to a second date.
