Coffee dates are a great way to determine your level of connection and attraction. Let yourself have fun and allow things to progress in a natural way that feels right to you. Avoid too much small talk about what you do or like. Make sure you’re engaging in meaningful conversations that will help you get a sense of whether you’ve met your match. Here are some great questions that can stimulate these kinds of discussions.
Remember, of course, that your dates aren’t interviews. Choose a few of these questions to see if you like your date’s personality—and if you are inspired. Be a good listener. Ask follow-up questions and don’t feel as though you have to ask all of these questions at once! If things feel like they’re lining up, you can use the other questions to continue to get to know the person in a meaningful way.
Before going out on dates, give yourself time to contemplate your own answers to these questions to get to know yourself in a deeper and more meaningful way. Enjoy!
