Sorry i'm not a lady but: Personally, I don't feel that way when I go on a date, I like to have fun get to know one another, and enjoy ALL the conversation. If you take the time to listen, you can really enjoy the company much better. If you focus on the questions and it irritates you, it leads me to think, you are either impatient, out just to get some, or not trying to really get to know her. I don't know you and don't want to judge you, I am only going with my thoughts from what I believe. Kevin
Agreed, it should be at least a semi-fun 'interview', but if you are taking offense to the questions.. what are you really looking for? Soulmate-in-a-box or a one-night stand? Those are about your only choices, all things the same.
Actually, I HATE dates that turn into interviews. When Paul and I had our first date we went to the movies. And who says you can't communicate in the movies? Oh, hell yes, you can! We had talked for hours and hours for the three days prior to our date, getting to know each other. On our second date, we went to brunch. We didn't do a lot of talking then, cuz it's hard to talk with your mouth full.
And then we went to the park. We didn't really "interview" each other, but we shared "war stories" and got to know each other even more. Of course, all the talking was interspersed with "suck-facing," too. That's a good way to get to know someone as well. hehehe
But, to me, the WORST first date imaginable is a dinner/lunch/coffee date. What a potentially totally uncomfortable situation. My .02.

who said you couldn't be out doing something fun? I mean, there's questions you can ask while you're "playing"...no need to just park your butts at a table & drink coffee...
Ever heard that song.....When a single mom goes out on a date with Somebody new, it allways winds up feeling more like a job interview....?????
While questions are a good way to get to know one another, cant you just have fuN? I wouldnt want to sit and play 20 questions all night...I want to have fun, the phone, and email are great starters for getting to know someone...but why 20 questions to start off the night??
Not me...gimme fun and conversation...and sneak in a few ?? if ya want, but Im not out to drill someone!!
I think that is one of the positive things about CS. It allows the 20+ Questions to occur Before the frst date, then both parties can realy enjoy the surroundings and enjoy each other in enjoying the moment.
the only time I experience/feel the interrogation thing is when the vibes/connection is not present. It's a signal to me if someone is not enthusiastic with answers or questions.
okay, i gotta admit it...i'm not one of those that wants to forget the entire past. i want to know everything about my partner...all the little things that made him who he is...each little corner of his soul.
i ask questions, lol...
probably why i've never really dated. i go from meeting to relationships in BAM!
