Questions are the perfect way to get to know someone and our first date questions are a fun way to do just that!
Meeting new people to date can make you a little anxious and sometimes your mind goes blank and you just sit there! We are here to help make sure that you are covered.
Take a look at these questions and use the ones that you feel are the best fit.
Our goal is to help make each date a little more interesting and meaningful.
So that even if you do not meet your match, you can still have a fun time out.
Remember that this is only the first date, there is no reason to talk about the really deep topics.
First dates are for finding some initial connection and chemistry so be a little playful and enjoy learning about someone new without interrogating them. At least wait for the second date for that!
