1. Who has been the biggest influence in your life?
2. What kinds of things really make you laugh?
3. What’s your favorite place in the entire world?
4. Who is your best friend? What do you like about him/her?
5. Favorite movie of all time? Why so?
6. What’s your biggest goal in life right now?
7. What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
8. Do you have any pet peeves?
9. What was your family like growing up?
10. What were you like as a kid?
11. What should I know about you that I’d never think to ask about?
12. Did you—or do you—have a nickname? What’s the story behind it?
13. Who was your favorite schoolteacher or college professor? Why?
14. Have you figured out your calling in life? What is it?
15. What do you hate most about the dating process? (Tell me so I can avoid it!)

Um, no!

Seriously, where do these articles come from - people who have never had a date?

I do want to ask if you have any pet peeves, however?

Haha, I've actually had guys ask some of those questions on first dates! Maybe they read this article?

To be fair, I know that first dates can be nerve-wracking, but you'd do so much better to just relax and let the conversation flow naturally. Nobody wants to feel like they're being interrogated on the first date.

No, they come from people whose bonuses depend on us staying customers. Meaning they give us advice that would result in failure of a date, and the process will repeat in perpetuity.

I generally dislike "favorite" questions. It's why I rarely fill out public profiles that ask you to list your favorite something or other. Why must I only pick one? I have several good friends, but I would never call any of them "best" over the other. I have several movies I simply love and can't just choose one favorite. Same goes with food, books, places, songs, etc. Ugh.
