What makes funny questions so great on a first date? Well, because they help to ease your first date nerves and lighten the mood. Dating can – undeniably – be a little bit scary. 

But if you go into it, full of funny first date questions that you can use to really “break the ice”, the two of you will start to relax in no time at all, making the date easier, more enjoyable and actually, more of a success! 

So what are we waiting for? Let’s jump straight in…

51+ Funny First Date Questions

Here’s some of our favourite funny first date questions. Have a read, re-save this list before your next date, and see how many you can remember before you go in!

Don’t worry… you don’t have to get them spot on.

It’s not about having them word-for-word, but simply getting you thinking of the kind of things you could ask to direct the conversation in an interesting way, whilst still covering the essential things to talk about on a first date.

See we think we’ve struck the balance of funny first date questions that are:

  1. Not too weird: you don’t want to scare your date off!
  2. Not totally random: these don’t help with forming a connection at all.
  3. Actually quite interesting and entertaining (just what we want!)

How To Lead Into The Questions

A quick tip before we get started now then…

When it comes to how to lead into these funny first date questions, you might like to first start with some of these questions to ask someone you just met.

This builds a base foundation for the two of you to begin with!

After that, try not to fire these funny first date question off, one after the other, or ask them at complete random either.

Instead, tie them into the current conversation that you’re having, or say something before (that’s relevant) then casually lead into the funny question.

So for example, let’s pick the question:

“Do you talk to your pets? What do you say to them?”

If you came out with this at complete random, it would be WEIRD! However, if you asked them first if they have any pets, then continued on with something like…

“Ah cute. I bet you talk to him all the time, don’t you? A friendly hello every time you see him, right? Your little mate! What else do you say? Ask for a cuddle after a bad day? Come on… spill the beans!”

You see? You can make it funny and teasing. (Flirting by teasing is a great flirting technique by the way so it’s a great, simple way to incorporate this in!.)

It will also then come across as far more natural, as opposed to pre-rehearsed / trying too hard… Not to mention, make the conversation flow far easier too. (Amazing!)

So now we’ve got that covered, let’s get stuck in. Here’s some of our favourite funny first date questions to get you thinking…
