What are good questions to ask on a first date?

Try open questions about what they enjoy, what they are excited about, favourite places, family traditions and what a good weekend looks like. Avoid interview-style rapid fire and heavy topics like exes or salary. Share your own answers too so it feels like a conversation.

Pick a setting that is meaningful to both of you and fairly private. Say specifically what you love about them and ask clearly. Make sure you have talked about marriage before, so it is not a shock. Sincerity matters more than a big stunt.
