Nothing is worse than that “awkward silence” between two people getting to know each other… Here are my Top 5 First Date Questions that will help you avoid that uncomfortable moment and keep the convo flowing… :)
1. Favorite place previously traveled and where is one place you haven’t been that you would love to travel to?
–Traveling exposes you to new cultures and experiences which leads to overall growth. A well traveled individual says a lot about one’s personality… unless of course, they’re on the run. Lol.
2. Describe your PERFECT Sunday?
–By asking this question you will know soooo many important factors like do they attend church, are they into sports, family or children close by?
3. What’s your favorite hobby to do ALONE?
–Balance is everything. While most people enjoy group settings, its important to know whether or not they can also function alone. If they can’t, they may be the needy type. A confident individual enjoys their own company at times.
4. Name 3 tangible things you can’t get thru the day without?
–Could it be an ipod, blackberry, laptop or maybe its coffee, bible or something else. No matter what it is, it will say a lot about their personality, their interests, and even their priorities.
5. What’s one thing you would attempt if you knew you couldn’t fail?
–Save the best for last!! Another opportunity to see their character, their personality, and a slight glimpse of their passions, goals and biggest dreams.
Topics to avoid: The Job, Money & The Ex…

Coffee Shops or Yogurt Bars:
-I love the intimacy coffee shops create. Besides, if the date doesn’t go well, its easier to wrap up quickly. lol
My favorite Yogurt Bars: Yogli Mogli (Roswell) and Yogurt Tap (Downtown Decatur)
Dave & Busters:
-I love a lil competition and a lot of guys like a girl who isn’t afraid to have a lil fun… Whether you’re shootin’ hoops, on the air hockey or going toe-to-toe on Pacman, have FUN!! Laugh a lil, smile a lot :)
Park Activities:
-Depending on the weather of course, I love doing outdoor things like hiking or throwing a frisbee or football in the park. Afterwards, post up on a bench or under a tree and chat a bit. Easy Breezy!!! :)
Bowling:
-You’ve got music, a lil competition and a perfect opportunity to show off your favorite jeans *smile*
