First dates are scary for some people, but they should not. They should be a learning experience, as there is a lot you do not know about your potential partner. On the first date, you need to ask a few first date questions to bridge some gaps.
According to Psychologists, open-ended questions allow the other person to express their true, authentic self. So you might want to hold back on those deep sensitive questions on the first meet-up.
Basically, if you’re trying to truly connect with your date, asking questions without making it seem like an interrogation is the way to go.
