10 Questions You Should Never Ask On A First Date
Twitter

I don't go on many dates, but based on my very minimal experience and the experiences of my friends, I have some sense of what not to ask on a first date. If you want a second date, then don't ask these questions. Just don't!

1. What is your salary?

Don't ask this question on a first date because if you do, you might be perceived as a gold digger.

2. Where are you really from?

If someone really wants to talk about their origins, let them, but don't just ask because it can be a bit awkward, especially on a first date.

3. How many people have you slept with?

A first date is getting to know each other on a surface level, and these are not the type of questions you automatically ask. You can ask at a later date, but please not on the first!

4. Who is going to pay for the check?

Asking who is paying for whatever the date entailed is just awkward. Just by the body language, you should be able to tell who is going to pay for the food or whatever it is without having to be abrupt.

5. Would you ever marry me?

This is the first date, don't ask if the person you are on a date with would marry you, don't put them on the spot like that. You just met!

6. If we had kids, they would be so cute, don't you think?

Just like the previous point, you just met, so talking about babies just doesn't seem rational.

7. Can I post a picture of us on Instagram?

Posting a picture on Instagram with a significant other is actually a huge commitment because you are essentially telling the whole world who you are dating. Posting a picture of your first date is not a good idea because you don't really know where this "love" will take you, and you don't want to jinx anything.

8. Do you love me?

This person just met you, and love is a strong word, so please don't put anyone on the spot. It takes time to develop love, so don't ask such questions.

9. On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate me?

Asking someone to rate you is just weird on both ends. The person wants to be truthful, but also if they are too truthful they might hurt your feelings if they don't say the right thing. It's just awkward.

10. So what now?

Instead of asking, what to do next, you should just let things naturally occur.

In the end, just go with the flow and don't try too hard but don't give minimal effort either, just be yourself!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
