First date questions: 22 conversation ideas
Questions that help you get to know someone without an interrogation: about values, pace, habits, care, and how you argue and make up. Ask one at a time and share about yourself too. It's a conversation, not a questionnaire.

FAQ
What should we talk about on a first date?
Talk about what you both enjoy: weekends, dreams, what you like in people. Save deeper topics — values, plans, fights — for later, and bring them up gradually.
What questions should you avoid on a first date?
Exes, exact income, health, and intimate topics — until there's trust, these questions feel like an interrogation.
