“Love is like playing the piano: first you need to learn the rules, then forget the rules and play by your heart.” - Anonymous
Extremely true is the above statement. It is not about having specific guidelines and do’s and don’ts throughout your love life. A series of conscious efforts in beginning of the relationship can help you in long run. During your initial dates you feel uncomfortable and uncertain about what to say, how to present yourself and whether your talks make any sense or not. It is the time for you to take every move wisely. Prove that you are intelligent and sensible about life and, in particular about your relationship. On the eve of first date never commit a mistake to ask about the past love-life of your partner (no, never!). Don’t be in hurry. Your partner will share with you everything whenever he/she feels comfortable. Following subsection speaks about some of the questions which you can ask your partner to start the communication. But first, let us checkout some tips.
Some Tips We understand your need for quality of questions to be asked on the first date. Well, do not commit the mistake of just asking ‘questions’ rather make statements. For an instance, do not ask the one-line question ‘what are your hobbies?’ in order to know your partner’s area of interest. Instead make a statement like ‘you must be having a creative thinking power, don’t you?’ It will not only create your partner’s interest to respond, but will also provoke her/him to ask the reason. This will lead to a series of questions-answers and counter questions releasing the nervousness and making the atmosphere friendly. Also, keep in mind that it’s your date. Don’t befool yourself by acting as an interviewer and irritate your partner by interrogating her/him. Since this date will pave a way for your next date, go slow and enjoy the time with what comes in your way. Keeping the advice in your mind, move ahead with the interrogation and consider the below mentioned statements as questions.
