These are the most fun questions to ask on a date

Dates can sometimes be painfully awkward, I unfortunately know that from personal experience. Especially when a long silence suddenly falls or someone asks very strange questions to break it. I once had a date with a guy who suddenly started talking about my ex, while we had just sat down at the table together. You just don't do that, do you? The most remarkable thing was that he apparently already knew a lot about my previous relationship; what do you mean creepy? Not surprisingly, I never saw the person in question again after that date. Well, he really made it awkward for himself.

Well, I obviously advise against starting a conversation about someone's ex on a first date. Now I hear you thinking: what can we ask then? You obviously don't want to come across as too superficial, but also not like a creepy Inspector Gadget.

Well, to help you out on that first date, I have a list of fun questions here. Guaranteed success:
