What question do you find yourself asking on every first date? What type of an impact does the answer to that question have in determining your desire for a second date with that person?

Probably the most important question I ask is "How long ago was your last relationship?" From that I'm looking to see if they are emotionally able to start fresh with someone new. If they answer it's just been a a few weeks to months (especially in the case of divorce or death)...I'll probably look for other signs on the date itself to see if I think they are ready.


It really depends on the overall impression if there is a second date as either positive or a "maybe". Giving signs they aren't ready to date though would be a no.

Based on the premise of the OP's question I guess I am doing it wrong.





(my dates name)? is the only thing that I am likely to ask of every date.

I’ve never walked into a date (job interview, or anything else) with a preconceived question.


This implies an inability to assess a situation and respond appropriately; why would I do that?

Does my butt look fat?





(Sorry, Lori - I just could not think of something that I especially ask on a first date. I think I go with no plan and ask whatever comes up in conversation - maybe that is why I am still single!!!)
