Starting an interesting conversation on a first date can be pretty daunting, especially if you're not big on small talk. Start your date off strong with a great conversation starter, and I promise you, you'll feel a lot closer to each other after just one date. Luckily for you, you only need to pick one from this list.

Here are the 19 best first date questions: 

1. What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?

This might sound like a standard question but asking about her hobbies not only gives you an idea of the kinds of things she likes, and it can also help you see if you both share the same interests. Plus, if you want to impress her, knowing her hobby might give you an idea of what a perfect day looks like for her.

2. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met?

We all look up to somebody. It could be a celebrity, a classical artist, a great author, a close friend, or a beloved family member. Whoever it is, asking your date this question is an excellent way to start a meaningful conversation.

3. What was the last book you really got into?

If she's a bookworm, your date will love this interesting question. Trust me. I've never met a reader who doesn't love talking about the books they've read.

4. What are some movies you really enjoyed?

A movie night for a date is never a bad idea. That is if you pick the right ones. So this is a good question to ask in preparation for a perfect movie date. That is if you successfully got through the first date.

5. What's the most amazing adventure have you've ever been on?

If you got through the first date, why not plan an amazing adventure for your second date to keep the momentum going? Asking this simple question is a great way to get an idea about the kinds of activities she enjoys doing.

6. What are you kind of obsessed with these days?

I'm sure you have a guilty pleasure that you'd hate to admit but don't we all? We all go through a phase where we can't get enough of something, so I'm sure your date has one too. This is supposed to be a fun question, so try not to get all judgy.

7. What TV series do you keep coming back to and re-watching?

Pop culture has made binge-watching a norm, especially now that we're almost always at home. Not only is it a fun topic to talk about, but it also gives you a lot to add to your watch list. Is the lockdown keeping you from hanging out together? Don't worry. You can still enjoy a perfect date even apart—two words- Netflix party.

8. What hobbies would you like to get into if you had the time and money?

They say money can't buy happiness, but I'm not sure if I agree with that. I mean, I'm sure sky diving is a load of fun, and so is scuba diving, but boy, they sure don't come in cheap!

9. Among your friends, what are you best known for?

Aside from our families, our friends know us best. I'm sure she already made a great impression on you ( I mean, why else would you date her?), but this is a great question to ask if you want to get to know her better and see her in a different light.

10. What music artist do you never get tired of?

Dick Clark couldn't have said it better. Music is indeed the soundtrack of your life. So maybe asking her this question can tell you something about your date's life.

11. What are some obscure things that you are or were really into?

Dr. Seuss sure knows what he's talking about when he said, "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

12. What are some things everyone should try at least once?

Stepping out of our comfort zone to try new things always does us good. It's the best way to grow! I'm sure your date has a few things she wants to cross off her bucket list too. Maybe you're the guy who finally gets to finish it with her?

13. What are you always game for?

You can never go wrong with a woman who has a zest for life! This is one of the many first-date questions that help you get to know a girl better.

14. Where’s the strangest place you’ve ever been?

We've all been in weird and sketchy places, and it's almost always a good story to tell for next time. This conversation starter will have you and your date feeling excited, surprised, and maybe even a bit embarrassed, all at the same time.

16. What do you like but are kind of embarrassed to admit?

We all have our guilty pleasures. Maybe she spends a lot of time browsing quotes on Twitter. Perhaps she'd hate to admit that she secretly loves the Kardashian?

17. If you could go back in time as an observer, no one could see you, and you couldn’t interact with anything, when would you want to go back to?

Wouldn't you like to know how it's like to live in ancient times? And how great would it be if you were with Leonardo Da Vinci when he painted Mona Lisa? This is definitely a fun topic to talk about.

18. What’s been the most significant plot twist in your own life?

One way or another, we'll all have defining moments that will change our lives forever. Maybe it already happened for your date? This deep question will pull you closer together.

19. How much social interaction is too much for you?

What happens when an extrovert dates an introvert? Awkward silence. You don't want to be around someone you can't vibe with, right? Is she an introvert or an extrovert?

Here are 14 first date conversation starters:

20. What pets have you had?

Owning a pet is a big responsibility and a big commitment. Whether she's a cat person or a dog person, you can always bet that she's the kind of woman that can take care of you.

21. What’s your favorite international food?

If she is a foodie, she'll have a lot of answers to this question. And If she's a foodie, she's probably a good cook too- that's always a good sign for me.

Ask next whether she's the first child, middle, last or only child. Asking for her birth order is a great way for you to get to know your date better.

23. Who is your favorite author?

Women who love to read can sure carry a conversation, and they're probably the type of girls you'd want to introduce to your parents. Parents love smart girls.

24. If there was an Olympics for everyday activities, what activity would you have a good chance at winning a medal in?

It's different for everyone, but I'm sure you'll get an interesting answer every time. Maybe she can win gold for spending too much time on social media? Or perhaps she can win an award for being able to drive a car without getting a ticket, ever?

25. What is the most beautiful view you’ve ever seen?

Ask her this question to get an idea for future dates. Whatever type of girl she is, girls always love it when their man plan dates for her. If you keep a girl happy, you'll always be her favorite view.

26. What did you do last summer?

The activities a girl enjoys doing can tell you a lot about her. She's definitely a modern-aged woman if she likes going to pop culture events. She's the creative type if she likes music festivals. She's a free spirit if she prefers a day on the beach.

27. What did you do for (last holiday)? Or What will you do for (next closest holiday)?

Asking about how she celebrates holidays will give you an idea about a girl's preference. You know, in case you get to spend it with her next time.

28. Best and worst flavor ice cream?

Any girl with a sweet tooth will love this question. I mean, how can you not love ice cream? It's one of the best things in the world.

29. What TV shows did you watch when you were a kid?

Where are my Millenials at? I'm sure any one of you can name one too many shows you used to love as a kid. Good times, am I right?

30. What’s your favorite thing to do outdoors? How about indoors?

Second dates exist as solutions for bad first dates. If you're already preparing for second date ideas, this might be a good question to ask on a first date. Believe it or not, indoor dates can be as fun as outdoor dates.

31. What’s your go-to funny story?

Funny stories always come in handy for cooling down first-day jitters.

32. What’s your favorite quote or saying?

Words have the power to inspire, and you can never have too many motivational quotes. I mean, they just make sense. I'm sure your date has a favorite mantra too.

33. If you unexpectedly won $10,000, what would you spend it on?

Ten thousand dollars can buy you many things. Whether or not she spends it on something worth it is her choice. Aren't you just a little bit curious what your date would do with it? A quick bout of excitement or a lasting investment?

The most important thing you can do on a first date is to be yourself. And asking something that you usually wouldn't ask or answering them in ways that don't agree with your character are two things you DO NOT want to do while on a first date. Don't be someone else. Be yourself. Either they'll like you or she won't..., and you'll be fine either way.

2. Relax

Still nervous about coming up with questions to ask to get to know someone during a first date? I've listed down some more frequently asked questions to help you out.

What is the most important question on a first date?

First dates are supposed to be fun and light so remember to keep your questions on the down-low but make sure that it helps you get to know your date better. Asking her about her hobbies and interest is probably the best way to break the ice. It's light, and it immediately gives you an idea about her.

How soon do you text after a first date?

You might want to wait this out until you get home, and remember to keep it cool. Thank her for a great time and wish her a good night.

Is a hug good after the first date?

It depends. Whether it's a kiss or a hug, it's not okay without consent, so before making any moves, ask. Believe me. It pays to be mindful, especially on dates. You don't want to make a bad impression.

What should you not ask on a first date?

When nerves get the better of you on a first date, you can speak unthinkingly and say something embarrassing. To avoid this from happening, remember to steer away from intrusive and particularly personal topics.

How do you end the first date?

This one's totally up to you. If you got through the first date, whether or not you clicked with your date, the rule of thumb is to remain courteous. Thank her for making time, and wish her well. If you would love to see her again, the best way to do it is just to ask.

How do you know if she likes you after a first date?

Oh, she'll let you know. If not by words, she'll let you know through her actions.
