When you are out on a date, it may be difficult to keep the conversation flowing.
The combination of your nerves and your desire to give a good first impression is enough to tie anyone's tongue.
Although it is understandable for you to be nervous, a silent date is not typically a good date, so we really need to get your conversational ball rolling.
Look below for a few good questions to ask on a first date.
I'll tell you what the good questions are, and then I'll explain to you why they work so well.
What do you like to do for fun? This is a great question to ask on a first date because it allows you to get to know the person better, as well as maybe catch a glimpse of hobbies you have in common.
What is your dream job? Asking about your date's dream job not only gets them talking about themselves, it will also tell you quite a bit about what types of things they are after in life.
It will help you to grasp what they want.
What was your most embarrassing moment? This question is good to ask for a few reasons.
First, it might make your date laugh just to think of that moment.
Whether or not they answer will tell you lots about their sense of secure self.
Also, it will allow the two of you to bond over moments when you were less than perfect.
That always opens the door for the tow of you to actually be less than perfect together on your date.
It will help you both relax.
Who is the most important person in your life? This question is an excellent choice, because while it doesn't appear to be obnoxiously intrusive, it really can show you a lot about what matters to the person.
It shows where their priorities lie, and will tell you how highly they value their loved ones.
There are lots of great questions you could ask on a first date.
The most important thing to remember, as always is to be you.
Try to relax, keep it lighthearted, and have some fun getting to know your new friend.
