It's a bit scary if someone says, I don't like what I do,

and then if you say, is there something else that you're working towards

that you would love to do?

And they say, not really. Oh, Hey everyone. I wanted to give you something super practical today. Eight questions you can ask on a first date to get beneath the surface out of small talk

learn a bit more about who someone is see if you're compatible with that person and

in the process make you appear more interesting

and likable and unique to the person you're on a date with. Pay particular attention to

question number eight because if you do it right, I think that question is the most revealing about a person.

Okay, question number one. Who is someone you really admire? I believe that when we ask someone who they admire, we start to actually learn their values.

What is it they value?

What traits do they think are important in another human being?

Because that says what traits they feel are important for themselves to aspire to. And by the way, the key to this question is asking why? What is it about that person?

For me, Jameson, Mr. Rogers and Steve Irwin.

Mr Rogers because of his just kindness that was consistent in every situation

and Steve Irwin because of his just insane passion for what he did

that made you get excited about whatever he was doing because of the energy that he fired out like a cannon.

Ask your date next time.

Who's someone you really admire?

Number two, what kind of vacations do you love the most?

I think this is just a fun question in general

because it gets you talking about something fun.

It gets you away from work.
