15 Creative Questions to Ask a Date
Check out this list to see some things that can get your date started on the right foot.

By Certified Professional Life and Dating Coach, Sandy Weiner, for GalTime.com

Are you ever at a loss for words on a first date with a virtual stranger? You’re not alone!

More from YourTango: The One Thing He Can't Do For You

Unless you’re endowed with the gift of gab, you and your date might end up in a staring contest, while you listen to the crickets in the background. Okay, it might not be that bad for you. But trust me, it’s not always easy to be clever when you’re nervous.

 

 

I’d like to help you out before that next big dinner or coffee by offering with some creative first date questions you can use if you need to stir up conversation. Use one or two on your date, and the conversation should begin to flow.

You can also use one of these questions in your online email correspondence. Asking a question in an email will increase your chance of hearing back from someone you have your eye on!
