Last weekend, I burst out laughing…
…while taking a podcast walk and listening to a This episode of American Lifewhere people shared loaded questions they asked on first dates.
“What do you think of Beyoncé?” is the first meeting question posed by editor-in-chief Emanuele Berry. “It’s a question that tells you what they think of a powerful black woman,” she says. “If you feel the need to put her down or say something negative about her, that’s a real turn-off, it’s a red flag, basically.”
A woman named Kelsey asks her dates to name their favorite Tom Hanks movies. Since he fell into so many different types, the question serves as a personality test. (Editor’s note: The correct answer is Big.)
And Vivianne in Iowa says, “If your ex moved on with their new partner right now, what would you do?” which is a fun way of asking, how gross was your last relationship?
It’s funny is not it ? When it comes to real questions, I like to ask about someone’s top three movies, a book they recently read, or a trip they’d like to take, no money involved. These aren’t loaded questions, but they usually start fun conversations.
