First dates: a thrilling mix of nerves and excitement. While that perfect outfit and witty banter are important, the real magic happens in the conversation. Here's the secret - think of it as data collection, but way more fun!

Ditch the "what do you do?" routine. Instead, ask questions that spark genuine connection. Did they pick up a new hobby during lockdown? What's their dream travel destination and why? These open-ended prompts reveal passions, values, and stories. Remember, dates are a two-way street. Share interesting bits about yourself too! By the end, you'll have a wealth of data (and hopefully a good time) to decide if there's a second date worthy connection.
