What’s one thing that every single person shares in common? Their relationship status, and the fact that dating is pretty-much inevitable if you’re looking to find love. Looking for questions to ask your date about dating, to see how well you can relate to one another? Then you’ve come to the right place! Here’s 50 fun questions to ask about dating, which specifically focus on exactly that! These are our all-time favourite questions about dating to make conversations FAR more interesting in those all-important early days! So let’s jump straight in, shall we?
How To Ask Questions About Dating
So first comes first, when it comes to questions about dating – when do you ask them and how?
After all, for some people, asking others more personal questions (about their love life for instance) can feel like a daunting prospect.
You don’t want to come on too strong, or like you’re prying or going to get over-protective right?! You also don’t want to seem like you’re quizzing them. (Not cool!)
So how do you go about it? Well:
- Try to ease into questions about dating. Don’t make them the very first questions you ask. Ask some light, entertaining, funny dating questions first!
- When you do broach the topic, perhaps lead into it by sharing your answer to the question first. Use your story as the conversation starter, then expand by asking them the same question about dating from there.
- Keep it as a two-way thing throughout! This should be a lighthearted discussion about dating – that’s interesting, fun and relatable. So in between each question, keep it going and flowing by sharing your thoughts / answer on it all too. This only then encourages your date to open up further about dating. (Just what you want!)
Why It’s GOOD To Ask Questions About Dating
Asking questions about dating is a GOOD thing – especially early on.
In fact, some of these questions cross over with the key qualifying questions to ask when dating, because finding out where they’re at, how they feel and what their intentions are when it comes to dating – are all pretty important things!
The good news is, because there are so many different questions to ask about dating, you can mix the “bigger ones” in, more casually.
This way – it comes across as a more general conversation about dating, as opposed to an interrigation!
When you find fun questions to ask about dating, it also makes your conversation different and entertaining. You can relate to each other, open up to each other, and it all becomes rather interesting and insightful… not to mention making you connect on a deeper level, faster!
Has that convinced you to be a little bolder and braver, throwing in some questions about dating on your next date? I hope so. Then let’s move onto the question ideas!
