Questions to ask your next date
I had the TV on yesterday while DD was in preschool, and I happened to see a few minutes of the View (I don't ever watch morning TV, but it was on).
They suggested four questions to ask your next date. The first one was, what is the worst thing that has ever happened to you?
Do you think that is a pretty personal question? At least in a new relationship? There is a lot of stuff I wouldn't want to discuss with someone I don't know well, and if I were dating, it would be pretty awful date conversation. I mean, what if the person was abused or something - it seems like you are putting them in a situation to discuss it or lie and come up with something else.
(The other questions were - what do you do when you are with friends, what is your relationship with your mother, and something about not working).
I assume these questions are geared for the girl to ask the guy, considering the question about relationship with mother. But just curious if you guys are surprised they suggested asking a date about the worst thing ever to happen to them, and would you be uncomfortable answering that to a date?
Re: Questions to ask your next date
A first date? Yeah- that would throw me off, and I'd probably choose not to answer it. Pretty personal. I'd also question whether I wanted a 2nd date. I had a guy grill me about my religion on a first date and I couldn't get out of there fast enough!
If the date goes well and you think there could be potential, then that's a different story. I do think all of those things are definitely good to know at some point.
