“Unless you already know the person pretty well, you’re probably going to have a lot of questions for each other to get to know the other person. Let the conversation flow naturally, perhaps a question here and there that opens up a larger conversation and gets a little deeper, or something fun and light-hearted about hobbies or interests. What you want to avoid is asking a rapid-fire line of questions about the person’s job, family, home, commute, hobbies, etc. Of course, a date is a chance to find out if you’re compatible, but if the two people are not able to hold a natural and enjoyable conversation, then they’re probably not compatible to begin with.”
