10 Perfect Questions to Ask a Date to Get to Know Them Better

Are you looking for some good questions to ask when you’re out on a date? Here are a handful of fun and engaging conversation starters that aren’t too personal but will tell you a lot about a person.

1. What Do You Do for Fun?

“What do you do for fun?” That question is much more interesting than the typical “What do you do for work?” It also provides insight into whether they have any hobbies or passions, which is important. Of course, if they cannot answer this question, it could signal that you have a chronic TV watcher or workaholic sitting across from you.

2. What Is Your Favorite Animal?

Are you an animal lover? “What is your favorite animal?” It is a fun and simple question that is a great conversation opener. It’s not too personal or heavy; almost everyone has a favorite animal. This conversation will often branch into discussing pets, too.

3. What’s the Most Interesting Thing You’ve Read or Heard This Week?

“What’s the most interesting thing you’ve read or heard this week?” This is a perfect question to gauge what types of content your date consumes and what they deem “interesting.”

4. What Song Has Been With You All Your Life?

“What song has been with you all your life?” If you are a music lover, this is a fun question that can lead to a light and easy beginning conversation. It’s also a great way to see if you’re musically compatible or singing different tunes.

5. What Do You Do Daily?

“What do you do daily?” It’s a fantastic question to discover your date’s habits. After all, habits define people. Is your date busy with appointments and activities, or do they consume cannabis all day in their pajamas?

Either one has a compatible partner somewhere, but is this person for you? An excellent follow-up question is, “And what would you like to be doing daily?”

6. What’s Your Dream Vacation?

“What’s your dream vacation?” It’s an easy, light question that can spark interesting conversations. It’s also a fun lead into discovering if and where your date has traveled and if it is something they want to do.

7. How Would Your Closest Friends Describe You?

“How would your closest friends describe you?” Asking a date for the answer to this question gives them a moment to reflect on themselves in a positive light (hopefully). It should result in some pretty telling answers, especially watching body language to gauge confidence in what they’re saying.

8. What’s Your Favorite Question to Ask Someone to Get to Know Them Better?
