1. What’s something you’re really passionate about? This gets people talking about what they love, and passion is attractive.

2. If money wasn’t an issue, what would you do every day? Dreaming big is a great way to see their personality shine.

3. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done for fun? Get ready for some hilarious or unexpected stories.

4. Do you believe in soulmates? A little romance, a little philosophy—great for testing their vibe.

5. What’s your favorite way to spend a lazy Sunday? Because if their idea of “lazy” is a 5 a.m. hike and you love sleeping in, you might not be compatible.

6. What’s the best trip you’ve ever been on? Travel stories always lead to fun convos.

7. What’s your most random talent? If they can juggle, do a perfect Kermit impression, or solve a Rubik’s cube in 30 seconds, you’ll be impressed.

8. What’s a movie or show you could watch a million times? Bonus points if you both love the same thing.

9. What’s something on your bucket list? The answer can be inspiring—or completely ridiculous. Either way, it’s fun.

10 What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? This one can lead to some surprisingly deep moments.

First dates don’t have to be awkward—just ask great questions, listen, and enjoy where the conversation goes.
