E.K. and I were recently comparing date stories and came to the
conclusion that, if a first date really is just an interview, why
waste time by not asking valuable questions? Here’s three I promise to
try out on my next first date! I’ll make sure to post some responses.
1- Would you go on a canoe trip with your siblings?
First of all, how outdoorsy is she? If she says no, I’m out. While I’m
no survivorman, being a good cottage companion is a deal breaker.
Secondly, no siblings, no second date! A creative answer could include
cousins, close family friends, even camp friends, the point is that
this girl has to have grown up as anything but a spoiled only child.
2- What NGO would you start?
This tests general understanding of the world and political values.
What if she’s inspired by Sarah Palin? Let’s get that one out of the
way. Also, how quick and creative of a thinker is she? Seeing how she
sees the world plays a really strong part in how I see her.
3- What kind of criminal would you be?
Tests the fun factor, plus who wouldn’t want to date their partner in crime?
- t.g. (the token guy)
