What questions should you ask on a first date? I don't want you to think about first dates in terms of questions. I want you to think about it in terms of subjects. So the same subjects that you're talking to with your friends and your family, those are the same subjects that I want you talking about on your first date. Don't ask boring ass questions like how many sisters do you have or siblings or where's your hometown or what do you do for work? Girl, that's lame. You wouldn't be doing all that mess with your friends and family. Don't do it on your dates, girl, if you're talking about politics and Kamala Harris. Girl, talk about it on the date. If you're talking about.
