Valentine’s Day Questions When Dating
Next up, we’ve got some Valentine’s Day questions you can ask on a date.
These are kind of similar to the Valentine’s Day questions for couples, but they’re softer and more suitable for anyone on a date, at any stage.
Have you only met the girl / guy that night?! It doesn’t matter! Have you both specifically come out for a date on Valentine’s Day? Then even better!
See, we’ve added some flirty questions in here, because hey – isn’t it all about getting sparks flying?! You may as well have fun with it! So let’s get stuck in…
11) How do you feel about the “big day” coming up then?!
This is a great dating app question, best asked with 0 explanation. When they then reply “huh?!” You can say, “Well Valentines Day… of course! 🤪”
Don’t use it as an opening line (until they get your jokes / banter) but it’s great to throw in with someone you maybe would like to go on a date with, this Valentine’s Day.
12) So, did you picture seeing me, sat opposite you, on Valentine’s Day?! 😉
[If you’re out on a date on the day itself.]
13) Got any rom-coms you binge watch this time of the year then? And hey… don’t worry, I won’t judge! 😉
Don’t forget – flirting by teasing is a great flirting technique when done properly! You can also tie this into a more “out there” question of – “fancy some company?!”
Let’s Keep Them Coming…
14) So, what’s the most romantic thing you’ve EVER done? (Either on Valentine’s Day or just in general!)
15) What would be your idea of the PERFECT Valentine’s Day date? (And yes, you can get rid of the crowds that often come on Valentine’s Day. This is your “dream” Valentine’s Day we’re talking about here, after all. 🤪)
16) Do you like Valentine’s Day? Are you a romantic kind of person? What’s your thoughts on it all as a whole?
17) So, some say that Valentine’s Day is just a way for stores to make more money?! Do you agree? Disagree?! I meant we can’t deny that it does add billions into the economy. So, let’s discuss!
18) What’s your FUNNIEST Valentine’s Day story (to date)?! After all, they say laughter is the way to your heart, right?! 😉
(Note: This could be a Valentine’s Day story from when they were single, or a funny disastrous date, or even funny that they saw happen to other people on Valentine’s Day.
It doesn’t have to be about their ex… Although if they use it as a chance to reminisce about their ex, it could be a sign they’re not over them!)
19) What would be your idea of the WORST date you could possibly go on?! ESPECIALLY on Valentine’s Day?
20) So Valentine’s Day is all about sharing your “love” for another person. Do you find it difficult or easy to express how you feel?
Challenge: Give me your most heartfelt declaration of love speech. (As if you were in a movie! Now’s your time to shine! 🤪)
