The typical first date questions have become just that, typical. Why not change it up a bit by asking more interesting icebreaker questions? For example, wouldn’t it be more interesting to ask “how do you handle stress?” instead of “what’s your favorite color?”Of course it all depends on the situation and the environment and also the type of person you are out with. Some random ice breaker questions could be like the typical “what are your hobbies”, “where did you grow up”, “what is your favorite book or band”, “what is your favorite kind of food”, and so on. However, what if we made them a bit more interesting and interactive?
Such interactive and intriguing questions you could ask on a first date are a fascinating way not only to break the ice but also to get to know your date better. For example, try asking “where do you see yourself in five years”, “what do you look for in a romantic relationship”, “who is someone you admire greatly”, “how should a guy or girl be treated on a date”, “if you could do anything for a living, what would it be”, and so on.
Once the conversation is going, it is a good idea to maintain it. Keep some other questions prepared incase the topic is dying out and you are afraid to avoid the dreaded awkward silence that follows a deep conversation. Transitional questions could be like “how do you spend your time alone”, “what is the most expensive thing you ever bought”, “how do you handle stress”, “what things bother you the most”, “what would your closest friends tell me about you”, “were you closer to your mom or dad growing up”, and anything else random that you could think of.Although you asked the questions, listening and interpreting the answer is as equally important. Don’t over analyze his or her answer, just take it in to learn about them better and get a feeling of what kind of person they are. Remember to answer questions about yourself as well, especially the ones that you just asked. Be prepared for her or him to end their answer with “and what about you”.
