20 First Date Questions

First dates can be daunting and nerve wracking. With butterflies in your stomach from nerves or his cute smile, the list of first date emotions can go on and on. From picking a place and time, to finding the perfect outfit, you have a million things on your mind before the first date.  Thinking about what you are going to talk about over dinner is probably the last thing on your mind. Granted, some people may be easier to talk to than others, but sometimes it’s helpful to have a “cheat sheet” to get the conversation going. 

Below is my list of “go to” questions that I typically ask on a first date, so that awkward silence doesn’t rear its ugly head.

First Date Questions 

  • What do you do?
  • Where are you from? (If they moved and are located in your city, what brought them “there”)
  • What did you want to be when you grew up?
