Top ten questions to ask on a first date

You heart is pounding, your palms or sweaty, and your mind is completely blank..... what do you say? Try the these suggestions for a light and fun conversation that will tell you more about the person that's sitting across the table.

1) What's your favorite book?
This will tell you so much about a person because it reveals their inner values and thoughts. Maybe they like humor? Romance? Mysteries? In my opinion, this question will provide you with the same information that you'd get from asking about their favorite movie, but it's a little more unique.

2) What's your ideal job?
Asking this question will really give you a peek into their true passions and values. What does this person really want out of life? This question will tell you. If the person can't think of what their ideal job would be (who doesn't dream?!), then maybe ask what they wanted to be when they were a child.

3) So what do your parents do?
Get a good idea of the person's family background by asking a seemingly innocent question as this one. In-laws can be a make or break a relationship--what you might find could be scary!

4) What are three things that most people don't know about you?
This might be another really scary question because some people can be a little too honest. There is a lot to be said about self-awareness.....

5) What do you like to do for fun?
Having a common hobby can be the glue that holds a relationship together. My partner and I enjoying volunteering to help animals. We get so much gratification spending time with furry friends, and we often recall these memories fondly.

6) What is the most annoying thing that someone could do to you?
You might be able to laugh about some strange pet peeves, and it would also give you a better idea of the person's likes and dislikes.

7) If you could name a movie that describes your life, what would it be?
People tend to have a general attitude about life that could be described through a movie genre, so this might tell you how positive the person is about life.

8) What is the most unusual thing you know how to do?
Maybe this person grew up on a farm and knows how to milk a cow. If so, maybe this person wants to live in a rural area. Perhaps the person can answer sports trivia and they would appreciate tickets to a game.

9) Name your celebrity crush
The stories this answer could tell.....

10) If a genie granted you three wishes, what would you wish for?
Again, values revealed here people!
