The Best Questions For A First Date

February 8th, 2011 by Christian Rudder

First dates are awkward. There is so much you want to know about the person across the table from you, and yet so little you can directly ask.

"Do you want to get the sex out of the way now so we can focus on getting to know each other?"




kalikshama -> RE: Best First Date Questions (2/17/2011 7:51:01 AM)

If you want to know...
Do my date and I have long-term potential?
Ask your date (and yourself!)...
» Do you like horror movies?
» Have you ever traveled around another country alone?
» Wouldn't it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?

Of all questions appropriate to a first date, the three listed above were the ones couples most often agreed on.

Here's how we know...

the only one I could agree on would be the middle one [&:] I can't stand horror movies and wouldn't want to live on a boat [&:]




kalikshama -> RE: Best First Date Questions (2/17/2011 10:37:21 AM)

I don't think it matters if you answer yes or no but if you BOTH answer the same.




Phoenixpower -> RE: Best First Date Questions (2/17/2011 10:39:07 AM)

Ok...thought it meant couples would agree on all those three [;)]

yes, or he just holds on until he got his needs fulfilled and then pisses off [8|] much less time wasted to have that out of the way [:'(]




sexyred1 -> RE: Best First Date Questions (2/17/2011 11:08:11 AM)

I hate OkCupid, but let me get this straight...

If my date asks me if I like beer and I say no (because I hate beer) will this now stop these idiots from assuming I will have sex with them on the first date?

Because if so, I will add a bling-ed out button to all my other jewelry that says, I Hate Beer and that issue will be solved.

Only the ones who read the article, retained the beer question, and thought to ask it - I'm sure such a small % that you are statistically unlikely to run across any of them.




came4U -> RE: Best First Date Questions (2/17/2011 11:44:38 AM)

I've never heard of this OkCupid place, but I do know that POF is a pain in the ass.  You MUST sign up by filling out an endless 66 question crap thing, and mail is stupid.  Not to mention, to view someone (by picture) you MUST open the profile instead of it having a pop-up with their stats to avoid doing that--only to find the men are no where near you, wrote only blabla bla or only 5 ft tall.

You don't need to fill out hardly anything on OKC. The questions are optional, but some are silly and fun. The more you answer, the more random matches you get on the left column. There's no stats popup, but the profile is only a click away. some of the (optional) tests are hysterical.

I never used POF, but have friends that do, and believe OKC's mail is superior.

After seeing SailingBum get mod "ahem"ed elsewhere, I want to reiterate that I had much better luck here on CM than OKC! And collarchat is the bestest!

It wasn't a spanking, and if you notice, we do not censor other sites as they come up in conversation here.  We have these very facilities here and they are good, and we like to toot our own horn first, and have you use them. It may well be that fetlife (AKKKKKK! a moderator said the F word) has a better events board than us, but that's about all, as we see it, and that bit has been heard and is under consideration.

Sheesh - don't apologise for CM - it's head and shoulders above the rest for useful, easy to use facilities. (And I've noticed quite a lot of bdsm stuff here which OKC etc don't seem to have. Maybe that's just 'cos I look out for that sort of thing).

Now if only you could take over IC and have a UK-centric site ... then I would like to have your babies.
