First dates are awkward already. The fact that you’ll be
meeting a somewhat stranger for the first time in an intimate setting is
already weird enough. We definitely don’t want to complicate things and make it
more uncomfortable by asking silly annoying questions, or questions that quite
frankly just cross the line.
1. What Do You Do For
Fun? Yes I know, it’s an easy conversation starter, blah blah blah, but
it’s also
very unoriginal. Asking me what I do for fun is like asking me what I
eat. It all depends on the day and the moment. No one really expects to me to
list all the things I do for fun do they? So I give them the standard answer,
“I’m open to anything fun.”
2. What Kind Of Guys
Do You Like? So what if by some chance I end up describing a guy that’s the
complete opposite of the guy I’m on a date with. Is that wrong? Would that be
mean? That’s how I feel when a guy asks me that question. It’s like a set up.
So if I’m on a date with a 9-5 guy and he asks me this question, I’ll just tell
him I typically prefer dope boys, and 19 guys. Maybe that’ll make him feel
better. Tip to guys, don’t ask question you don’t want to hear the answer to.
3. Why Are You
Single? *Takes a deep breath* Uhmmm.. Why are YOU single? People are single
for one or two reasons. The last person they dated was a jerk, or they haven’t
found the right person. It’s like asking why is the sky blue? It just is. It’s
such an annoying question, yet it’s so common on first dates. You wouldn’t
believe the number of people that ask this question. Maybe out of nothing else
to ask. Standard answer next time? I’m single because I’m not in a
relationship.
4. When Last Did You Have Sex? Talk about
crossing the line. I was on a date with this guy one time, and we were really
enjoying ourselves, talking laughing, and there I was thinking “this might be
the start of something special”, and then he just blurted out, “When last did
you get some?” Excuse me. Just cos I’m laughing with you doesn’t mean you can
just cross the line like that. It’s definitely not a first date question, and
sends out the signals that you’re after one thing. I mean what if I’m a virgin
(not like I am, but still). That’s just inappropriate, and needless to say I
deleted his number once I got home.
5. What Went Wrong
Between You and Your Ex? This is one of those questions again where someone
is crossing the line for a first date. Do you really expect me to sit and tell
you all about my last relationship? Common son, you really didn’t just ask
that. It’s annoying already bringing up any kind of ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend
topic, but to take it a step further to ask what went wrong is just invasive
and quite frankly pretty lame. I know some people might ask naively, but it’s
not a good look. Standard response to this is to say “nothing went wrong”, and
sit back and enjoy that confused look on their face.
That’s all folks. Do I sound bitter and annoyed? Maybe, Just
thinking about these annoying questions make my blood boil. Let’s hear it from
you guys though, what are the most annoying questions you’ve gotten on a first
date.
