In the hours leading up to a first date, there’s a good chance you might feel a sort of buzzy, nervous energy. This could be because you’re thinking about how the date will go, but it could also be because you’re trying to come up with some easy first-date questions, too.
Though pre-date rituals like journaling and working out may help calm these anxieties, you might also find that having a handy list of first-date questions can help keep your (and your date’s) nerves at bay. Having some questions ready ahead of time is a great fallback when you find yourself stuck in a moment of awkward silence, and it’s a great way to help you get to know your date even better.

There are ice breakers, funny questions, and would-you-rather prompts for when you want to keep things light and fun. (But if you want to kick it up a notch, you could also advance to these questions to ask your crush instead.)
