Those first dates can be really tricky, because you want to ask questions to find out more about your date, but you don’t want to appear to pry either. But there are questions that you can ask that are pretty safe and can lead to good discussions.

It is generally safe to ask about people’s pets, whether owned now or in days gone by. If there are no pets, you can always discover if there is a particular reason for this, or it is just the way things worked out. Perhaps there was a classroom pet you could ask about, or a relative’s pet. If the answer is still no to pets, find out if your date would have liked a particular pet in other circumstances.

Along with pets, it is usually safe to find out whether your date is a sports lover, or absolutely detests all sports. Finding out now may help you decide on future date activities, or, if sports is a vital part of your life, and you do want someone who can share your love of sports with, then at least you know now rather than later.

Other interests and hobbies can lead to interesting discussions, and travel plans, or trips made can be fun to explore with your date too.

At some stage of the first date you are probably going to be asking about the career path your date is pursuing, and whether they went to university or college. Note that there should be no judgement here, you are just finding out facts and what has made them who they are in this lifetime.

Do try not to talk about yourself all the time. You need to listen to your date, and the things that are said, asking questions if you are not sure what is being said.

Think about what questions you like to be asked about, and see whether these lead to any entertaining discussions. Give your date the chance to start conversations too, you don’t always have to be the one introducing the new topics, and they might just enjoy asking their own questions of you.

Which brings me to the next point. Always answer as honestly as possible. Don’t say you are a great sports fan if you can’t stand watching or playing sports. Misrepresenting who you are is not the way to start a new relationship! You need to be honest right from the beginning, so you can both build on this new relationship, if it is to go anywhere.
