Exactly which lady magazine's web site did you copy that from? Guys love nothing more than being asked "Define a truly successful relationship" while going out for coffee with some girl he met at a drunken houseparty the week before.
Ha, I think it was actually advice for men. Do you think a woman would like to be asked to define a truly successful relationship? I would RUN if anyone said that to me on a first date.
Yeah, movies. That's a much better conversation starter than "What scares you the most about opening your heart to your partner?"
Nathan wants to know if this is supposed to be the "20 questions you ask a guy if you don't want to be asked on a second date" list. Also, for number ten, the answer is "taking this list along."
Ha! Fun times. I think I should compile a list of answers. I'll get right to work on that.
Yikes. If I were asked some of those questions on a first date, I'd run, not walk, to the Staten Island ferry terminal and get on the next boat home. And pray I wasn't followed.
I think that we should compile a list of our own questions and post them on the site that I pulles these from. Can you imagine the poor guy that actually prints these out and takes them seriously? I see a sad, sad future for him.
There are a lot of questions on this list I would define as very important, that should be asked eventually. And I'd LIKE to live in the kind of world where you could ask these questions on the first date, just to save time from hearing the wrong answers a month later. But I think most of the people I've dated wouldn't have responded too well if I had foisted more than one or two of these questions on them on the first date.
You are absolutely right, eventually I would want to find these things out, but first date? These are questions that I would use to get out of a first date if it were going horribly. It would be a sure fire way to scare anyone off.
I mean, some of the questions are fine, but it kills me that they are in the order listed above. If someone followed this, they would never get past number three. If they did, things would start to get creepy around five and then your date would look at you with confusion and fear by number 18.
I almost did that! I'm actually really glad that I brought it along. They actually answered the questions pretty seriously and I learned that one of their grandmothers published three novels about sheep farming. Pretty cool! It led to some really funny conversation. Those guys are wonderful and I think that we need to work with them!

Heehee...you hit the nail on the head with 10.
I'd like to see your list by our 3pm meeting. I will bring the coffee.

Okay, unless we were both wasted.
