Why Should I Ask Many Questions on a First Date?

The reason why you should ask so many questions on a first date is quite simple.

The more questions you ask, the more answers you get.

It will help you connect with your date, establish communication, and discover anything that will raise concerns or doubts.

Remember, it is a date, NOT an interrogation.

You don’t have to ask all the questions above if you don’t want to, and I advise you to pick just four or five to start the conversation.

Does it matter if I’m a man or a woman?

No, it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman because a date is to get to know the other person.

Science proves that when women are talking and allowed to speak on speed dates and first dates, the couple is more likely to go out for a second date.

Here is a link to that scientific study.

So, if you want a second date with that person, you should ask many questions.

I hope you enjoyed this article.
