13What are you most proud of?

 

14What kind of music do you like?

 

Sometimes, the direct approach is the best way to use speed dating questions. Why waste your time with a long intro, only to find out you aren’t compatible?

All these speed dating questions are well-suited for finding out information about whether you would be compatible. For example, his age will give you an indication of which phase of life is he in.

Asking deep and personal questions about his regrets and dreams is also a great way to break the ice. It’s your job to find out, within a quick time frame, who the person across from you is, so initial success will make the rest of the conversation easier.

If you don’t show him you’re interest and willingness to talk in the beginning, you will have to invest more effort as the conversation goes on. Don’t hesitate. There’s nothing to fear, sweetie. You’re here to have fun!

Sometimes, a guy just won’t be talkative enough to start speaking effortlessly after one question. Direct questions like these may backfire from time to time because they are ‘yes or no’ questions, so try using random questions that you are genuinely interested in asking.

During a speed dating session, it may be awhile before you find the right guy and chances are, he’s a bit tired and bored with typical questions. To get his attention, use these unique questions we’ve compiled.

Asking something random that a guy doesn’t expect will get him to think and probably reveal at least one unexpected detail about himself while answering.

A detailed or a longer answer provides an opportunity to further the conversation and refresh your “stock” of different topics. By then, you hopefully won’t have to ask such direct questions as the conversation will become more natural.

40Can you call me? I seem to have misplaced my phone.

 

41Do you want to join me in disregarding the rest of this speed dating night?

 

42How about we risk it and go for a drink now?

 

Hey, you’ve made it. It’s not easy to both break the ice and steer the conversation in the right direction. No matter how much you enjoyed your time with this guy, it’s still too early to celebrate.

You need to land the final blow and let him know that you’re interested. Nobody likes to play games and using these speed dating questions will let a guy know you’re serious.

Of course, you should always modify these final few speed dating questions as both suggestive and funny. By doing so, you keep him guessing, and he’ll maybe even giggle! There is nothing better than a good mix of humor and letting him know you mean business.

A mature guy will respond well to speed dating questions which are not entirely obvious. If he doesn’t get what you were trying to say, it’s likely that you’re not on the same wavelength.

 

The dos and don’ts of speed dating questions

Do:
● Talk about ethical dilemmas. It’s a good way to see where a guy stands.
Honesty goes a long way, especially if you want him to get to know you
● Show you have a sense of humor. Nobody like a tense speed date, you’re supposed to have fun!

Don’t:
Be dirty. Nobody likes overly suggestive speed dating questions
Be too personal if you don’t see he’s into it. Topics like family, intimate relationships and plans can scare off more introverted guys.
Force it. Sometimes, a guy simply doesn’t like you. There are other fish in the sea.

 

Conclusion

Speed dating questions can make or break your chances with a guy. Use them recklessly, and you might lose every good guy that you run into and plan to date.

Use them responsibly and you will both learn how to recognize the right man, as well as get his attention.
