35 Questions To Guarantee You'll Never Have A Boring Date Again

One thing I’ve learned from being a coach is that a truly great question can make magic happen.

Not only do I get to learn something awesome about someone else, but often as a result of me asking the question they realize a life-changing truth inside themselves.

Every person has a story.

Everyone has something that makes them unique, interesting, attractive, curious, mysterious, deep, or soulful.

Everyone.

If dating has slipped into the realm of “this is like pulling teeth” for you, then I encourage you to play a game by getting someone you meet to say “Wow, that was a great question!” during your date.

Why?

Because you’ll discover something awesome about every person you meet, and they’ll feel close to you in a way that exceeds the usual Tinder hook up.

I’ll give you 35 thought provoking questions that can make first dates a whole lot more fun and intriguing.

Here are some of my favorites:

  1. What should I know about you that I’d never think to ask about?
  2. What really makes you laugh?
  3. What is something you wish you did more of in your life and something you wish you did less of?
  4. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you’d do with the money?
  5. What’s one fear you know is holding you back?
  6. What’s your favorite book of all time?
  7. What is a piece of advice that you were given that if you listened to it, you would not be where you are today?
  8. What’s your favorite place in the entire world?
