The 10 questions psychologists say you should ask on a first date

First dates personally give me heart palpitations, dóódeng I find them. And the worst thing, which I think everyone fears the most, are those awkward silences. Of course, you want to avoid them at all costs; even nonsense conversations about the weather are even better than icy silences.

Of course, a first date is mainly about getting to know each other, but what is the best way to do that? Psychologists know what to do: according to them, the best way to ask the ten questions below during a first date. My tip, as a non-psychologist, would still be to cycle them a bit organically into a conversation, otherwise your date will be more like an interrogation than a romantic encounter.

Still, the questions are very useful: the answers tell you a lot about whether you are a good match, have the same values and standards and whether your visions match. Success is therefore guaranteed, even if your answers do not match at all; it will save you from follow-up dates that end up going nowhere.
