Sometimes you have to swap the small talk for some important first-date questions that will help you decide whether you actually want to see this person again. The following questions are just the right amount of earnest, but won't make you come off as too intense.
- What's something you've accomplished that you're really proud of?
- Who are you closest to in your family?
- What would your best friend say are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?
- Why did you decide to move to this city/town?
- Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
- What's a big life goal of yours, and what do you need to make it a reality?
- Where or what makes you happiest?
- What's one of your favorite childhood memories and why?
- If you had a whole day to yourself, how would you spend it?
- What do you love most about your job?
- What qualities do you look for in friends?
- What's something you're excited to experience in the future?
