Charli15695: I would include questions like yours...except about the last relationship....I think that's information best discussed later after several dates and when/if the relationship appears to be progressing.
But to tell you the truth...even later ... I'm not really interested in what did or didn't work in his last relationship - just in what is working "our" relationship - leave the past in the past and move forward - I think discussing it would set up comparisons.
I dont think i would have any ?'s planned.... I have a bad enough memory anyway... It wouldnt look good to have to pull out a piece of paper to look at my next ?.. What comes out of my mouth depends on the moment and how well we are getting along..

Big_John: 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.
Some of the responses make the first date seem like a job interview!
And I do think it is a date, unlike other opinions here. If I go out with a man and he is not a friend, relative, or business colleague, then it is a date.
As for questions, well nothing too personal obviously, just a friendly chat about likes, dislikes, travel....there are so many good conversational topics. It doesn´t have to prepared or even thought about beforehand.
I wouldn´t be impressed if he swore or used bad language though.
Big_John: 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.
Hey John! How so?? I tend to push for a face to face as soon as possible. Until you actually meet, how can you possibly know anything?? So, all the questions aren't answered. Don't meet with an agenda; or any expectations for that matter. Just enjoy the experience and the time. Seems to have worked for me.

I believe this is the consensus with almost all of the people who have posted a reply.
