The next time you’re hoping to get a second date, try asking these nine questions.
It may seem daunting at first to think about asking so many questions on a first date, but it’s these types of conversations that can help you learn more about your potential partner and develop strong feelings for them. And who knows? You might even find out some things from the other person that they never wanted you to know…
I have been in a relationship for over twenty years and I must admit that I don’t remember what my partner said or did on our first few dates. But on the other hand I do recall the things we talked about on our first few dates.
Many of those early conversations were about family and friends, as well as our own life stories. Later on we started talking about more specific subjects like “If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want to have with you” and “What is your favorite season”. All those little, seemingly unimportant details that we talked about eventually became shared memories and experiences that we could both share and enjoy together.
If you’ve ever had a conversation with the significant other of your dreams and felt your heart skip a beat — it’s probably because they were asking all the right questions.
