No secret here—dating can be awkward. Nothing’s more nerve-wracking than a first date, especially with someone you hardly know. And while, sure, they’re meant to be a precursor to an actual relationship, first dates are also mini interviews disguised as social outings, whether we like to admit it or not. That’s why you should know some questions to ask on a first date…. here are some I suggest to break the ice and get to know each other.
