Not knowing what kind of questions to ask on a first date can be nerve-wracking. Especially if you’re kind of awkward when it comes to social interactions.
Imagine you’ve finally built up the courage to ask out your crush. Turns out, they like you too!
So you finally go on a date and it’s going well. But then…the almost inevitable awkward silence ensues.
What do you do then?
I enjoy getting to know people and bringing up all sorts of random topics once I am comfortable but even I have experienced an awkward silence here and there. As an introverted, socially awkward person, it’s not my cup of tea at all.
A first date is the perfect opportunity to get to know someone. Sure, it can induce some nervousness but you should also look at it as an opportunity to have fun getting to know someone and sharing about yourself.
That is where having some interesting questions to ask can come in handy. From deep, thought-provoking questions to weird, funny ones, they can tell you a lot about a person. You can learn about their personality, goals and ambitions and you can also find out if they’re goofy and they don’t always take themselves too seriously.
Here is a list of questions that are perfect for a first date and that will help you avoid any awkward silence that may come up. Have fun with those!
