5 Incredible Questions to Get That 2nd Date.

Badoo released a survey taking a look at how couples realize chemistry on first dates. I love online dating surveys as I feel like it’s accurate, non-performative data that you can get some great insights into. No bullshit, just cold hard facts.

Can you guess the most constant complaint heard from first daters?

Small talk.

That insipid, generic, repetitive “professional” conversation we’ve all been a part of when it comes to first dates.

Here are some of the metrics

• 57% of daters find it difficult to know what questions to ask when they first start speaking to someone
• 62% say it’s because they feel pressure to ask a good question or kickstart a robust conversation
• 50% say it’s because they’re nervous
• 32% of daters, it’s hard to decipher what they should be asking in order to get to know the person
• 30% of daters have experienced a first date in which they’ve not been asked a single question
• Badoo found that, on average, single people go on five first dates before they find someone they have chemistry with.
• 84% believe asking the right questions is hugely vital in seeing whether you have chemistry with someone.
