After a very long relationship and break up I'm single again. I'm going to a speed dating thing next week and I want to ask the attractive women some questions more interesting than "Where are you from?" and "What do you do?" So SD, what should I ask?

The best I found from a Google search was "Where do you see yourself in three years?" but that question sucks.

what's your major?

Just be yourself , I'm sure you'll come up with something.

:roll: let us know if thats the case, seriously.

Also, for a question: "How do you think I would look in high heels?" should do it.

What's the laughing for? Do you think all the girls are gonna look beat up? Before I started dating my ex, I went to a speed dating event and 2 out of the 20 girls looked good to me. As long as there's a few I'll have something to work with.

Ask if they will let you PIITB.

"Do you prefer to spit, or swallow?"


No? Okay, how about...

"What's your ideal first date?"
"If you could live anywhere, where would you live?"
"If you could have any job you wanted, what would you do?"
"If you didn't need to work for money, what would you do with your time?"
"What is the most recent book you've read? Tell me about it."
"What is the most recent movie you've seen? Tell me about it."
"How did you meet your best friend?"
"Tell me about your family. Do you have brothers/sisters?"
"What is your favorite childhood memory?"

Ask her something that gives her the opportunity to tell a story.

Dang. He beat me by 2 minutes. (Men. :rolleye:)

Guess it depends on what your interpretation of "looked good". I got roped into one of these things a couple weeks ago. I don't think there was one woman their under the age of 40 and their was only one that was even half way attractive. Maybe I just have high standards.

Anyway to get back on topic.... The one I went to was pretty, easy. I don't think you really need to ask a whole lot of questions, just be yourself and carry on a conversation. That's all I did, worked for me and got a couple cougars trying to contact me after wards, lol. I think every conversation was different, talked about work, kids, things we do in our free time, etc. Nothing much to it. Key is to be yourself, don't try to be someone you're not.

If they put out on the first date

If they put out on the first date

Good one. Good one.

...because technically...

How many baby daddy's do you have?

Ask if they will let you PIITB.

Or if you can PIITWazoo

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?


No, that could be misconstrued. What if she thinks he's only interested in Carmen Sandiego?

And he can't ask, "Where's Waldo," because someone might think he's not interested in women.

:shake:

Really. Think ahead.

I will be asking some of those. Thanks. I'll be doing the "be yourself" thing I'm just trying to find an interesting question or two to get the conversations started.

Do I look as desperate as I feel?

That sounds a lot like the one I went to a few years ago, except thier were two cute blondes in thier late 20s mixed in. The one I'm going to is supposed to just be for people in thier 20s. If I see any old ladies I will notify security.

Do I look as desperate as I feel?

I think that's a question I'll be asking myself but thanks for the suggestion.

Good one. Good one.

...because technically...

:lol:

Pffft it's obvious what your first question should be...








"Do You Remix?"

Do you go to slickdeals.net?

I normally will ask:
How's your dish?
Would you like something to drink?
Could you pass the salt?
and wait until she came back from bathroom...

"Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain).

The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side.

If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain.

What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?"

Do I look as desperate as I feel?


Ah...going for the "get her to feel you" angle. Not bad...not bad...

Do your own stinkin homework

Do you charge by the job, or the hour?

"Are you just looking for someone to put your kids through college?"
"You know I'm not a soccer star, right?"
"Do you own a set of golf clubs?"
"Have you slept with anyone named (real, or assumed) Ray Nagin, who may have spoken at length about twitching?"

What do you think of Schooby's cookies?

You haven't tasted cookies until you've tasted Schooby's cookies.

hiv or some other std,are you insane,do you have sex on first date,would you go out with someone thats homeless

"do you cook"
"What's your career"
"do you use coupons" - level of frugalness
"what's more important, family or friends"
"do you like to drink (alcohol)" - see if she gets excited about this topic and if so then maybe she's a heavy drinker.

or maybe you should tell her about yourself first and if she's interested she'll continue with the conversation. Make sure you sound interesting, of course.

Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money? :whee:

Your parent's basement or mine?

Have you ever been involved in a devil's threesome?

Sorry to get serious, I like everyone's answers better, but here are some ideas


1) What do you do for work? - It is an introductory question. It may reveal the professional status of a person but little about his personality. So move on to another question.

2) Where are you from? - This reveals background. It throws better light on the person.

3) What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know? More insight into personality.

4) When was your last relationship and how long did it last? A probing question that will open up the communication.

5) What are you looking for in a relationship? You can both instantly compare whether you match in this area.

6) What do you think is the most important value in a relationship?

7 ) Do you want to marry or have you ever been married? This is important, as it will reveal if both are moving in the same direction - towards or away from marriage.

8) What do you look for in a husband/wife? Try to elicit an honest answer.

9) Do you want/do you have any children? An important question if you are looking for a long-term relationship and your partner is not.

10) What do you do for fun? - This will throw light on whether your leisure activities match. Are you a bookworm and she an outdoorsy person?

11) What are you most proud about? This reveals the basic values of the person - whether he/she values money or adventure/ intellectual pursuits.

12) Is religion important to you? 24x7 living together means understanding on certain basic issues like religious beliefs.

13) Do you follow politics? Are you a Democrat or a Republican? You can spar on your political affiliations.

14) Do you believe in love at first sight? You can decide whether he/she is a romantic person or not.

15) What is your most treasured possession and why? What a person is sentimental about reveals a great deal about his personality. Is it his bike or a locket presented by a sister?

16) What is your favorite month of the year and why? Does he like to sweat it out in summer activities or curl up like a cat in winter?

17) Which is your favorite book/movie? Both of you can discuss why you like a book or a movie - throws further in sight into personality.

18) Which is the last book you read? A conversation starter.

19) Which is the one job in the world that you would love to do? Throws light on likes and dislikes.

20) Which is your favorite music and your favorite singer/band? Do you share musical tastes?

21) Do you like animals/keep pets? Are you going to clash on this issue - one an animal hater, the other a pet lover?

22) How do you spend your spare time? This is important, as it will really help if both love to do the same things in spare time.

23) Where do you see yourself in five years time? Watch out if he has no definite goals for the future and is in a rut. A positive mark for her if she has her life and career planned out positively.

24) If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be? Silly, amusing question to get the laughs.

25) Do you believe a cup is half empty or half full? Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

26) If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life? What are the deepest regrets of a person?

27) You have got six months to live, what will you do first? Insight into personality.

28) Is sexual compatibility important to you? Do opinions match?

29) Who was your hero, as a child? Insight into personality.

30) If you won a lottery, how would you spend your millions? Amusing question just for laughs.

31) Which was the first crush you ever had? Reminiscing sentiments.

32) What makes you laugh/cry? Really important and throws light on personality.

33) If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?

34) Describe your perfect holiday. One thinks frozen Alaska, the other sunny Australia.

35) Which T.V. program would you never miss? Do our tastes match?

36) What is the last CD you bought?

45) Which is your favorite genre of movies - comedy/thriller/action?

And yes, I googled.

omg when are you doing this i want to do it! you better come back and tell all the details!

Well, you don't want to creep her out with some of those questions. This is speed dating. What do you have, like 8 minutes tops.

Since first impressions are huge, I'd make sure I looked and smelled clean and let her have the first question (Ladies first - after introductions). Then ask the obvious, what brings you here? Have you ever been to one of these before? Then maybe, "if we weren't here...what would be your idea of a perfect first date?"

Keep it casual, and just talk like one human to another... not that tough.

Ask her what she would like to know about you.

1. Chunky or smooth?
2. What is your stance on cannibalism? For or against
3. Are you breaking the law if you drive past those road signs that say "Do Not Pass"?
4. Should crematoriums give discounts to burn victims?
5. What happens to an 18 hour bra after 18 hours?

I would ask them why they are there

Ask stuff that is over their head:

-How would you influence phenomenology and existentialism?

-Sartre characterized human relationships as inescapably marked by conflict. Why is there a conflict?

ask if they like haynol.

I would ask them why they are there

Never ask them

why you are there?
Why are you using dating service?

The answer will be ugly and it reflect back to you.

Do you like movies about gladiators?
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

I finally went. There were about 15 girls there and three of them looked good. Before I got there I had a list of fancy questions I wanted to ask but as soon as the dating started I forgot all of them. I went with the classic/lame "Where are you from?", "What do you do?" to get things started. I also threw in some "Do you workout?"

Of the three good ones one of them was funny and easy to talk to. We'll be doing something next week. If it wasn't for her it would have been a total waste.
