10 Critical Questions You Should Never Skip On A First Date

 

Why do people go on a first date? To get to know each other on a variety of things. How can they get to know each other? By engaging in meaningful conversations. How then, can they engage in meaningful conversations? By asking meaningful questions and providing meaningful answers.

Besides your actions and behaviors, one way people can also get to know who you truly are is by your words.

One may hide his actions and behavior for long, but not his words. No wonder the bible says “ But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison”

You don’t have to know people through and through before you know their real character, sometimes their words can be the mirror through which you see their character.

This why in this article, I want to show you how to put your tongue to proper use on your first date in engaging in meaning conversation of asking and answering a dating question.

There are 10 questions to ask on a date especially on a first date because of first impressions matter.

WHILE YOU WAITING

On a first date, first impression matters a lot. By how you respond to and ask questions one can know how mature, smart, and intelligent you are and how best to connect with you.

While you are seated and staring at each other from across a bench with a burning candle sticks, drinking from a glass that contains your favorite wine and waiting to enter the cinema, what are the right questions to ask to engage yourselves in meaningful conversations?

In this articles is a list of 10 critical questions you should never skip on a date whether you are a single mom dating again or a complete newbie.

1.WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER MOST IN YOUR LIFE?

The objective of this question is to know if your date is a family-person. Don’t get me wrong. I am not insinuating if he or she is married or not. By family person, I mean if he or she has a good relationship with his family.

You can get to know a troubled home by these questions. It is only logical that people who matter most to you would be those related to you like your siblings, parents, grandparents, or a very close friend.

One way to truly know a person’s character is by closely listening to how they talk about other people.

This question also reveals to you the set of people either relatives or non-relatives that have made significant impacts the life of your date. 

2. HOW EXCEPTIONAL ARE YOU?

When you go on a date, you really want to connect and act like you’ve known each other for many years. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is to get them to talk about themselves.

You can ask about a date’s passion, life’s goal, hobbies, interests, and the kind of sports or games they enjoy playing. By doing this, you may discover common interests.

You might also find a source of support, encouragement, or a connection to something you've always wanted just by asking such question and opening up yourself as well to answer as many questions as possible if and when necessary.

3. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE JOKES?

Even though I mentioned earlier about you engaging in meaningful discussions, being too serious can make one feel uncomfortable and not relaxed which can steal the fun.

On the other hand, having a date to answer this dating question can reveal his sense of humor and can be the cheapest way to get connected. You don’t have to be too serious. It is not a business date. Even if it is, there is room for relaxation and freedom as well.

4. WHAT REALLY GETS ON YOUR NERVES?

The intent of this dating question is to really get to understand people and their personality differences. Are they easy-going or do they easily get upset can be some major derivatives of this question?

No one wants to be misunderstood. Everyone wants to have a peaceful and happy life and one way of achieving this is by letting others know what really makes them happy and sad.

While answering this question, one has to be as honest as possible.

5. WHAT ARE YOUR LIKES AND DISLIKES

I think this is dating most popular question. It is always asked but for some reason is abused. 

People ask this question not because they want to truly know, but because they just want to keep a conversation alive.

“What are your likes and dislikes?” can be a very revealing question. 

You can know a date’s best color, best car, best movies, best book collections, or a favorite spot or food. You just might need this information in case you want to thrill a date or buy a surprising gift.

Asking this dating question is crucial if you want to avoid this annoying statement, “Wow. Thank you so much, but I don’t like red shoes”

6. WHAT WAS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

Many people are very shy and tend to feel uncomfortable about this question.

There is nothing wrong about sharing some of your awkward and embarrassing moments. 

This question when answered with all sincerity can add great energy and fun. You can get laughing at each other with this question.

The flip side is, it can also show if a person is humble or proud. Only the proud don't want people to laugh at their foolishness.

7. WHAT IS THAT THING YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT?

The reason for this question is to ensure you don’t end up with those who don’t know their left from their right or who don’t have a clear map or blueprint for life.

Though many people date for fun these days, in my opinion, the main intent of dating should be to find a significant other or a true friend who can help you become better in life or who you should impart. This question can help you find that friend.

By asking this first date question, you can discover common interest, same passion, or same goal.

8. WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU’VE DONE YOU ARE REALLY PROUD OF?

The overall objective of this question is to determine what a date holds so valuable and have worked very hard to achieve.

When you know what people value, you learn to respect it and help them achieve even more values.

 

      9. WHAT IS YOUR RELIGION

It is unreasonable how many people expects you to avoid this question. Asking about your date’s religion can be a very good first date question. Whether it is on a first date or not, this dating question is paramount and here is why;

Firstly, dating can lead to plenty of emotional attachments. Therefore, Before getting serious with things or initiating a full blown relationship, it is imperative you determine religious compatibility.

Secondly, If you allow your emotions to get a grip on you and then later you discover that there is a religious incompatibility, you may become bias with your decisions or better still live with something you never bargained for.

10. WHAT CAN YOU SAY IS FUN FOR YOU?

This is the dating question that lets the cat out of the bag. 

Asking this question can get your date to keep talking, laughing, and revealing a lot that he or she thinks will interest you but ends up providing you with information to make an informed decision.

For instance, your date might reveal how fun it is to club every day, having a hangover, and a lot. Such is not the kind of person you would want to end up with if you seriously want to make meaning out of life.

In conclusion, there are a bunch of dating questions or first date questions to ask, however, what we have seen so far are very crucial questions to ask on a date.
