There is nothing quite like the anticipation for the initial date. While you should not prescribe too many expectations, it is still a MUST for you to prep.
Did you know that based on experts, having first date questions can be an easy way to maintain your conversation?
We can list down some tips for you single men out there the next time you’re eyeing love across the table:
- What makes you laugh? –discovering the kind of things that make your partner laugh will tell you about her personality and outlook in life
- Do you have a dream you are pursuing? –dreams should be nurtured, cultivated, and acted on. Crossing fingers and hoping that your date has dreams for the future… whether a career, or world travel, volunteering on a charity work or whatever. You want to know id her dreams mesh with your own.
- What do your weekends look like? –whether she still works on her day-offs or she is out there in the park teaching the kids or just binge watching. This question is a must, considering not all of your time spent together in a long-term relationship will be candlelit dinner.
- What’s your passion? –this gets to the core of the person’s being. Look, if she answers “I do not know”, well… that might be a red flag, right? But if you get something, that give you insight into their value system.
- Do you have special place you like to visit in a regular basis? –whether it is a coffee shop, museum, park, mountain to hike…you will learn where your partner likes to go will provide you insight into the person’s taste.
Remember to listen as much or more than you talk. The ability to speak is only one part of the equation and it is not the most important part; the best communication occurs with an even and equal exchange of two people.
Getting to know someone is like peeling an onion. Thin layer at the time. It is a slow and safe process.
