Creative questions for a

first date

Do you know that meme where a couple is on a date and one of them starts talking about the cousin of the friend of the other who was on vacation in Thailand in 2009? As in: that you have stalked the other so intensely online that you know everything about your date, but also about their family members and you accidentally slip up so it gets super awkward. You don't want that, right? As a self-proclaimed Sherlock Holmes, I am so intensely happy that this has never happened to me. Where I was talking the day before yesterday about creative ways to get over a boy, today it's about the creative questions for your new love interest. Always those boring questions about what kind of work someone does, where they come from, and whether they have siblings are secretly a bit passé, right? You will find that out anyway. What you want to know is what their favorite pizza topping is, which Spice Girls song they shamelessly sing along to, and whether they prefer their toilet paper to roll over or under. People, these are the real life questions, because what a terror if you end up with someone who lets their toilet paper hang down.

Alright, it’s time to spice things up on date night. Can you write all this down?

The most important life questions:

– Suppose you were a pizza, what topping would you have?

– Of all the Kardashians, who is your favorite? (If he says Khloé: marry him.)

– Were Ross and Rachel really ‘on a break‘? (I mean, if you really want to talk about a ‘make it or break it question’…)

– Toilet paper over or under?

– What was your very first email address?

– If you could live in a fantasy world, would you choose Hogwarts or Narnia?

– Are you someone who starts eating popcorn during the previews at the cinema or do you wait until the movie actually starts?

The always-good-to-know questions:

– Prefer the Instagram husband or social media boyfriend who wants to be in front of the camera themselves?

– Start the day well with sex or end the day well with it?

– What is the dumbest thing you have ever spent your money on?

– Batman or Superman?

– How quickly would you leave me if Angelina Jolie/Emily Ratajkowski/Candice Swanepoel walked by right now?

The still quite profound questions:

– If you could witness an event in the past, which one would it be?

– If you could have one age for the rest of your life, what would it be?

– Would you rather be good-looking and very poor or less attractive with a fat bank account?

– Would you rather meet the love of your life or win the lottery?

– Spontaneity or routine?

Happy dating!
