first dates are the toughest, generally speaking. and the toughest thing about first dates is having things to talk about.
i heard that making a list of questions to ask your date is a good idea. just write down a series of questions on a piece of paper or notecard. it's preferable if you pull out the actual list of questions while on the date. this lets your date know that you're taking this date seriously (which is different than wanting to seriously date).
the only real question is what questions do you include on the list?
for instance, i realized the population bottleneck crisis is threatening the survival of most of the world. and i'm not just talking about humans, but significant amounts of animal, plant and microbial life too. so i have strong feelings against having biological children. i'm totally for adoption (even though some people i know try to say that adoption isn't realistic in any situation ever), but would be against fathering biological children in most circumstances. so, should i include in my first date questionnaire a question about feelings regarding the ethical problems in having biological children?
also, i would suggest that each first date should have it's own list of questions.

i think a much better first date topic is how you are still in love with your ex.
good idea but you might considering sending a copy of the questionnaire to your date a few days in advance so they can adequately prepare. i'd suggest sending it by mail. that's the courteous thing to do.
i think you gotta wait for the date. you want to seem spontaneous, right?
if its spontaneous why are you deciding now what to put it on it.
and i hope you do have biological children. i have money on it.
i like the idea of sending the questions to your date in advance. why should you get to prepare your questions (and subsequently your own answers to your questions) if your date just has to have them sprung on her? maybe she will be able to give a more accurate answer if she has had time to think about whether or not she should bear children.
i just realized that this plan can also come in handy when meeting your date's parents...care to comment?
the only biological children i plan on having would be the ones that result from unplanned pregnancy.
and i think one of the biggest problems with local tv news is the occurrence of commercials posing as news stories.
so maybe a better question for brian would be how his date feels about abortion.
maybe they should ask me that
I didn't read this post, but the title is great.
