47. What\u2019s your idea of a perfect date? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, first date<\/a>, is a good question to ask your Tinder match if you\u2019re looking for someone to start a long-term relationship with. Why? <\/strong><\/em>Because the answer should give you a fairly good idea of what it would be like to spend time together. Like actual time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 48. How would your best friend describe you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a great first question because it gives your match an opportunity to describe his or her best qualities without sounding like they\u2019re bragging. Believe it or not, some people are so humble that they would never tell you about these awesome qualities from their own perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 49. What did you give your best friend (or sibling, parent, etc.) for his\/her birthday? <\/p>\n\n\n\n If generosity is an important quality in your ideal mate, then this is the perfect question to ask. If your match says \u201cnothing\u201d, then this may be a red flag that you need to move on to the next guy or gal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 50. How much time do you think a couple should spend apart? <\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be a really important question to ask on an online dating app like Tinder, especially if you\u2019re an independent person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 51. What do you like on your pizza?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This may seem like a frivolous question to ask, but some people take their pizza pretty seriously. If you\u2019re the kind of person who refuses to eat frozen pizza or who judges friends when they order pineapple on their pie, then you may be one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not get this heated discussion out of the way right out of the gate? Is he a pepperoni or a salami guy for instance? These are things you need to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, if you end up together, you\u2019re gonna be sharing more than a slice or two together, am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 52. Would you rather \u2026? <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a good Tinder opener<\/a> because you can be as naughty\/flirty\/cheeky as you like, or you can be as serious as you like. Either way, it\u2019s a great way to start a conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 53. What was the worst date you ever went on? <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve all had perfect dates. But what about the worst dates? The memories could have you both roaring with laughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 54. What\u2019s your idea of a perfect day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you need to know if their idea of a perfect day matches up with yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 55. What do you look for in a man\/woman? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask this question to find out whether you\u2019re even their type!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 56. Ice cream or frozen yogurt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can tell a lot about a person by their choice of frozen dessert. If she goes for ice cream, it could mean she doesn\u2019t take herself too seriously or she knows how to have fun. It could mean nothing at all, but still\u2014it\u2019s something to start a conversation with your Tinder match<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 57. What\u2019s in your refrigerator right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a funny question to ask to get a conversation going, and it could have some surprising results. Depending on what the answer is, you could learn a lot about your match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the answer is beer and leftover pizza, then you know you\u2019re dealing with the typical frat boy, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s protein shakes and kale, then you\u2019ve got a fitness freak on your hands. Neither one of these is necessarily a deal-breaker, but it\u2019s good to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 58. Lights on or off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This flirty question is a good one if you want to test the mood without offending your match because it\u2019s suggestive but not over the top. If he or she answers honestly, it might also give you some insight into how open your match is when it comes to intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 59. What body part do you find the sexiest on a man\/woman?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an interesting question that can give you a good bit of insight into your match. If he answers\u201ceyes\u201d for instance, then he may be a romantic at heart. If she says \u201cabs,\u201d then she\u2019s probably a fitness junkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 60. Do you have a fetish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a risky question to ask, but if you\u2019re willing to give it a go, it could make for a stimulating convo! The answer to this question could also help you fend off the weirdos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If he shares a fetish that you\u2019re definitely not into, then you\u2019ve dodged a bullet. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
