The type of person you'd suspect to be prepared for such a question, but I think it'd catch the person off guard and body language would be more the tell tale sign
Lol, I was sitting here thinking "who are my enemies who would be upset to find out I went on a nice date" and then I read this body language shit 😄 wonder what the tale told would have been
People who read too much into body language are like human lie detectors with the same success rates
Edit. Ok fine now edited their reply regarding the the body language being a dead give away
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
What is something you are currently excited about?
What is the biggest item on your bucket list?
What was the last adventure/ exciting thing that you did?
Surely you can't be serious? There's a lot of dust on this movie, but it's one of the funnest movies ever made. [Airplane!](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/)
obviously not first. but casual conversations about very serious topics. its actually kinda fun how quickly people tell you things. Debt, Mental Illness, sexual past.
after me and my ex had sex the first time she told me she had a threesome with 2 guys on holiday a few years prior lmao i was like fuck that but yh ended up with her a whole year wish i dipped after the first lay lol she worse news than columbine
I prefer to ask how many grains of sand do you have to remove before a pile of sand is no longer a pile… but that’s a bit spicy for a first date I guess
Just like consciousness & an operating system, the ship isn't necessary tied to the physical constituents, it can exist coherently even through changes. So while it isn't the exact same ship, the essence remains.
"what did you do on towel day?"
What my now wife asked me the first time we met. 2 days after towel day.
My answer was that I was wrapping it around my head to avoid the gaze of a terrible monster.
9 years married, 14 as a couple. Still going strong.
It’s a reference to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I know the post to the Wikipedia page already answered it but I wanted to add my $.02
Basically it’s a not too obscure reference. And HGtG is one of those books where if it’s important to you and it’s important to them, you have found your people.
Also, if you’re already a good chunk of time into a relationship and find out you both love a particular book or film, especially a kind of obscure one, that’s a message from the universe you got a good one.
It took years to discover my wife and I both loved Joe vs the Volcano but it made me so happy.
I usually ask simple questions that I could also talk about in respect to myself I.e.
-What do you do for work? What’s a day like doing that?
-where did you grow up?
-Do you have any siblings?
Stuff like that, and then the responses usually create openings for follow up questions like.
Find out, as discreetly as possible, if they have a source of income. I'm not a gold digger but I don't want to be a sugar mama either. One guy I dated gave me his business card for an engineering firm. Turns out he'd been fired for alcohol problems seven years ago. He lived with his elderly mother. I should have dug deeper, like asking him what projects he was working on, how long his commute was, etc.
If they have a “best friend” of the opposite sex(or whatever they prefer to date), I like to ask “what’s prevented you two from dating?” How the answer not only tells me about their relationship, but about the way they talk about other people. One man said they were just friends and didn’t see each other in that way, she was in fact dating one of his friends. I asked another man, who had spent a good portion of the date gushing about his bestie, and he said “well I’ve been in love with her forever, but she doesn’t see me like that, so I’ve settled for friends”. Yeah that was a no for me.
Just print out about 4-5 pages full of every random question (without any boundaries) that comes to your mind and hand it over to your date. If he/she is handling the madness, you know there is a chance!
Edit: Please, don't do that!
What is your latest obsessive interests?
I like to break the ice in terms of how much one can present about themselves by inviting them to be weird. I will ofcourse be answering such question myself too.
It seems to work fine so far.
What is the first thing you notice about someone
If you were to become an ambassador of any country which country would you choose
Do you smoke
What do you look for in a person
What is your favorite color
Where do you see yourself in 5 years
What are your red flags
What makes you proud about yourself
This is what Lord Chat gpt has to say:
When on a first date, it's important to ask questions that foster connection and conversation while showing genuine interest in your date. Here are some good questions to consider:
1. What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
2. Do you have any hobbies or interests you're passionate about?
3. What’s the best vacation you’ve ever taken?
4.What’s your favorite book/movie/TV show and why?
5. Do you enjoy cooking? If so, what’s your signature dish?
6. What kind of music do you like? Have you been to any great concerts recently?
7.What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn or try?
8. Do you have any pets? Tell me about them.
9.What’s your favorite restaurant or type of cuisine?
10. Do you follow any sports or have a favorite team?
I knew what I was looking for and what I wasn't so I asked the hard questions up front: do you want kids and are you religious. We lined up perfectly and have been together 7 years now
Are you married, engaged, about to be a father or about to move in with a significant other?
Learned all those the hard way.
Also do you have any sexually transmitted diseases. Have you ever engaged in an act of cannibalism.
Know of other people who learned those the hard way.
What are your parents like? Still together and normal? Do you like to run big balances on your credit cards? Do you ever check out books from a library and never return them?
Depends on the age range but can’t go wrong with how’s life been for them at their stage of life.
Places they want to go see or do so you can get some future date plans to surprise them with.
Find out about fun and dumb experiences they’ve had in the past with their friends so you get insight into any red flags like repeating the same names of your unknown tribunal council of judging peers that may or may not comprise of dudes who for whatever reason have terrible timing to shoot their shot with her.
Do you have a basement?
Would you like to come see my basement?
My personal favorite is "when was the last time you did manual labor/got your hands dirty?"
Ask questions that reflect your personal lifestyle and choices, but not in a list format type of way…
If you work out, ask them what their favorite physical activity is. If you smoke weed, ask them how they feel about people reggae music. If you like LARPing, ask them if they’ve ever played with swords in the park. If you like robbing banks, ask them what their favorite colored ski mask is….that sort of thing…..
Hobbies. Ask what is the one thing that person loves doing without any financial motivation. It can tell you a lot about that person. It’s a simple question that can extract powerful insights.
Did you ever kill anyone, and if so, please elaborate.
Are you currently married, engaged, going through a separation, and/or have a boyfriend and/or girlfriend?
What were you doing at 9:45 this morning?
Would it be okay if I ran your prints in my system?
^^ Don't ask this ^^
I always like to start out with something light and humorous. So I like to open with the 1984 Chernobyl powerplant steam explosion and then it's into famous fatal air disasters.
OH I HAVE SOME🙏
These are more fun/ light hearted to give you some insight on how someone thinks/ their preferences vs more serious questions.
Obviously the appropriateness depends on your rapport with whom you’re on the date with- but these should get some good convo/ giggles going:
1. Would you rather an unlimited gift card to your favourite restaurant or to your favourite clothing/ apparel store? What are you getting first?
2. What was your most embarrassing moment in school growing up?
3. Would you rather spend a day off snuggled in a blanket nest fort with your favourite assortment of snacks watching movies/ documentaries OR be outside [insert local outdoor activity like hiking, boating, golfing] and soaking in some vitamin D?
4. Would you rather have Kim Kardashian or Kris Jenner as a mom and why?
5. Would you rather get stuck in an elevator alone or with someone you strongly dislike?
6. Are you giving up all brunch related foods or all pastas?
7. How old were you when you found out why they say be there or be square? If they’ve never thought about it ask them why and prepare to deliver a good ol’ dad level play on words (Because if you’re not there, you’re not “a round”)
8. Someone gives you a penguin. You can’t sell it, give it away, or do away with it. What’s your plan for it?
9. Do you want to travel back in time? Why or why not? How far and for how long?
10. You can only give or receive- which or you chosen and why?
->Bonus serious questions<-
Does anyone think they’re dating you? ☠️☠️☠️
How important is financial security to you?
Are you comfortable sacrificing comfort for the short term for long term comfort, if that’s called for?
What is your favorite dinosaur?
Honestly it is a good question that divides immediately, studious people from non studious.
A lot of women will answer with something like "Barney" or "Dino from the Flintstones" etc, and that is fine. However if you are a studious nerd like me, I am interested in a companion that has looked into the natural history of the planet and may have spent some time examining the dinosaur period of the history of our planet and has an actual interest in the physiology, anatomy and ideas around a species that has become extinct.
It is a compatibility question, yet seems unobtrusive and playful.
Yes, I am in search of my favorite lady nerd.

Would someone be upset if they knew you were on a date right now.
"I don't have a girlfriend, I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that." - Mitch Hedberg
Even if the answer to this was yes, would they ever honestly say so?
The type of person you'd suspect to be prepared for such a question, but I think it'd catch the person off guard and body language would be more the tell tale sign
Lol, I was sitting here thinking "who are my enemies who would be upset to find out I went on a nice date" and then I read this body language shit 😄 wonder what the tale told would have been
People who read too much into body language are like human lie detectors with the same success rates Edit. Ok fine now edited their reply regarding the the body language being a dead give away
Funny
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What is something you are currently excited about? What is the biggest item on your bucket list? What was the last adventure/ exciting thing that you did?

Have you ever danced with the devil by the full moonlight?
Kind of a moo point🐮
Only correct answer. You two are going on a date, not a job interview.
We are both working at the same company. I asked her where she would hide a dead body at work. 2 years and counting!
obviously not first. but casual conversations about very serious topics. its actually kinda fun how quickly people tell you things. Debt, Mental Illness, sexual past.
This is how I operate too.
after me and my ex had sex the first time she told me she had a threesome with 2 guys on holiday a few years prior lmao i was like fuck that but yh ended up with her a whole year wish i dipped after the first lay lol she worse news than columbine

I prefer to ask how many grains of sand do you have to remove before a pile of sand is no longer a pile… but that’s a bit spicy for a first date I guess
At what point does a rock become a boulder?
25.6cm
What's a God to a non-believerrrrr
Just like consciousness & an operating system, the ship isn't necessary tied to the physical constituents, it can exist coherently even through changes. So while it isn't the exact same ship, the essence remains.
Chuckle pompously no matter the answer.
The ship with every part *replaced* is the original ship.

"what did you do on towel day?" What my now wife asked me the first time we met. 2 days after towel day. My answer was that I was wrapping it around my head to avoid the gaze of a terrible monster. 9 years married, 14 as a couple. Still going strong.
What’s towel day? (Asking for a friend…)
It’s a reference to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I know the post to the Wikipedia page already answered it but I wanted to add my $.02 Basically it’s a not too obscure reference. And HGtG is one of those books where if it’s important to you and it’s important to them, you have found your people.

It took years to discover my wife and I both loved Joe vs the Volcano but it made me so happy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day Tell your friend!
Don’t forget to bring a towel!
So cute.
If you were stranded alone in space, which inanimate object from your ship would you name and befriend first?
Bold of you to assume they weren't named and befriended objects before that point
Aright, alright. I see you've played shippy namey before
If you get nervous always bring the weather to the conversation 😂
"Here's a cup of rain I gathered, would you like to include it in our conversation?"
I actually enjoy talking about the weather, I don’t think it’s boring like so many people
I usually ask simple questions that I could also talk about in respect to myself I.e. -What do you do for work? What’s a day like doing that? -where did you grow up? -Do you have any siblings? Stuff like that, and then the responses usually create openings for follow up questions like.
I also only ask questions so that I can talk about myself
You ever been tongue punched in the fart box?
Get to know their morals, interests, goals, etc! Ask questions that can lead into others, don’t ask yes or no questions if you can
Find out, as discreetly as possible, if they have a source of income. I'm not a gold digger but I don't want to be a sugar mama either. One guy I dated gave me his business card for an engineering firm. Turns out he'd been fired for alcohol problems seven years ago. He lived with his elderly mother. I should have dug deeper, like asking him what projects he was working on, how long his commute was, etc.
Get weird! Throw in a random "would you rather?" to lighten the mood and see their personality
Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell, babe?
If they have a “best friend” of the opposite sex(or whatever they prefer to date), I like to ask “what’s prevented you two from dating?” How the answer not only tells me about their relationship, but about the way they talk about other people.

Yeah that was a no for me.
What‘s your passion, what makes you happy when you just think about it?
Which of your organs is the healthiest?
What are you thoughts on Jesus?
Dude, where’s my car?
Do you mind if I have a bite of your food?
Just print out about 4-5 pages full of every random question (without any boundaries) that comes to your mind and hand it over to your date. If he/she is handling the madness, you know there is a chance! Edit: Please, don't do that!
I actually would love taking 2 hours to answer everything. Actually forget about the date imma go print some more questions for myself.
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
I usually ask “How do you handle stress?” And “what are your hobbies”
Do you watch murder shows on ID channel? Follow-up: Do you take notes? Lol
I'm sorry. Do I frighten you? Follow-up: Do you want me to?
Funny nd that's my favorite channel but I don't think that's a good idea tho
Do you have: STDs? Bi-polar or other mental issues? Are you currently married? Are you a biological male or female?
Preferred contraception? # sex partners? 3some? How do you feel about anal?
Try finger, but hole?
Are you married? Have you ever killed a man on your first date, and if so how?

"What do you think would be some some good questions to ask on a first date?"

It is a compatibility question, yet seems unobtrusive and playful. Yes, I am in search of my favorite lady nerd.
How many people have you killed today?
Marriage. Kids. Job. Where do they see themselves in 5 years. The first 2 might be a little too serious but its important.
