First dates are really important, it’s all about making the right impression and it’s really scary because things could go wrong or not. First dates are probably one of the most terrifying things we do. Do you know what is even more important on a first date? Is to find out as much as you can about the person you’re out with. It might seem awkward at first and this is why we’re thought of 6 questions that might get you started. 6 questions you should ask on your first date…

What do you ask someone you are dating for the first time? Here are 6 questions you should ask on your first date because the answers to them can be quite revealing.

1. Ask about their beliefs/values and priorities

It doesn’t have to be anything too serious. It could be questions on the line of; ‘ What do you like to do, how do you spend your time, what makes you happy?’ If you like, they can be more in-depth questions but maybe save them for another date.

The answers to these questions should tell you quite a lot about the person you’re on a date with. True compatibility comes in matching values, beliefs and priorities mixed with chemistry.

2. Ask them how they spend their weekend

Finding out how they spend their free time or busy time, will help you find out about their interests, priorities and socialisation habits. All are important to find out about to decide whether you are compatible or not. If they are an outdoor type of person who likes to spend time fishing, surfing and kayaking. You, on the other hand, like to chill and binge-watch Netflix. This could become a problem…

3. Ask about their regrets

By sharing embarrassing moments and regrets, the other person becomes more vulnerable and this is a way to build intimacy. Intimacy is a key player in a long and lasting relationship.

4. Ask them if they make their bed every morning

If you are a neat freak this is going to matter because nobody wants to be picking up after the other person. How they answer will give you insight into their need to have order, organisation. It also tells you whether they are a morning person or not.

5. Ask about their worse date 

Hopefully, you won’t hear- “This is the worst date I’ve been on”. Otherwise, this question can lead to a few laughs and it’ll give you an indication whether they have a good sense of humour. Being able to laugh at life and its many awkward moments is really important. We have all experienced a terrible first date and on the hindsight, they are hilarious when you re-tell them. They make for great ice-breakers too.

6. Ask about their family

This question will tell who they are closets within their family or if they are close at all. It might reveal whether relationships are important to them or not.

Hopefully, these questions will give you enough o work with on your next first date and maybe help you find your perfect match. Good luck.
