think about asking? Do you have question you want to know the answers?

What is the sort of relationship you are looking for and why?

What are the qualities of your ideal relationship?

What do you like to do for fun?

or are you so overcome with fears and insecurities. You may be afraid of rejection, failure, saying the wrong things and coming across like a loser in front of your date.

What are your 1st date questions?

Hi John.........

I never go with an agenda...........or even anything specific to ask to be honest......

I just try to be myself and hope we can communicate with each other........More interested in Chemistry between us and maybe hit on topics that we have a mutual interest in.......

I do hope I can make her laugh though as it tends to put people at ease........

cheers

I guess I am the same as you. I don't think ahead of time about specific questions, but I do worry whether the dialogue can be maintained. Honestly I have had the other extreme happen on most of my first dates in that we talk and talk and talk. Some of my first dates have lasted for 10 hours.

I would be confident in myself to be able to discuss anything really or at least find something of mutual interest........and talk it to death..........laugh

I have had dates like that as well.........

I suppose if I was a quiet person I would plan it a bit better I suppose to try to make the most of it............

Good question though......

cheers

Do you find internet dates so different than real life dates? In that I mean we normally know so much about a person we date from the internet because we have been communicating with them for quite a while. In real life you see somebody and ask them out on a date and usually you don't know anything about them. Then in real life their are the questions, questions, and more questions.

I guess internet dating is backwards. We get to know someone first, then see if there is any chemistry in physical life. In physical life there is attraction first, then you get to know them. Atleast in physical life there is a chance you'll get laid. laugh

When and if it happens as I have very little dating
experience, since I do have one pending, we have
gotten to know a little in the past few weeks and have
had the opportunith to hear the voice.

I will go as me no sense in putting on a show. If we hit
it off I am sure the rest will just come together. We
will have things to chat about and get to know a little
more about one another. Hopefully if it goes well when
we part there will be a kiss and plans for a 2nd date. hug

I guess it is not good to tell that you put one ex in prison and the other killed himself.conversing

Definitely internet dates are very different in that respect - most initial questions are already asked, so the two can just relax and be themselves without pre-planned questions/conversations.

I don't have a set of questions I ask because part of getting to know one another is the "chemistry" you feel once you meet. I think building on that comes more easily with those you feel some attraction to, and not just physical attraction. Genuine feelings come from a comfort level you establish before the first date and during the time you spend together. So establishing that level is important and since everyone is different it would not benefit me to have a preconceived set of questions. But then, I'm fairly comfortable around most people so it's not generally a problem for me.

I just take it slow,,in either scenerio. Enjoy the time for what it is,,those questions will be answered eventually. Most important to me is the inter-acting. I'm in no hurry for a life partner, and even after we may decide to take that plunge,,its a life time of learning each other,,or should be,,in my opinion.cheers

I know it is so important to not rush into anything. Taking the time and slowing things down to a comfortable pace is perfect. Most dating situations appear to rush things up and expectations are too high for most people.
