15 Funny First Date Questions To Start The Conversation

Ever been at a loss for words on a first date? Here are some funny first date questions you can use to get the conversation started!

First dates can be both scary and exciting at the same time. Have you ever wondered what you would say? Or worried about those deadly silences? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out our list of 15 funny first date questions that will brighten up the mood and get the conversation going.

1. What was the longest time you have ever waited to pick up some food that you’ve dropped on the floor?

We all call it the ‘five-second rule’ but we all know that those five seconds can in fact last as long as 30 (and that’s not even gross, trust me). How can you possibly allow that bit of pepperoni off of your pizza slice to just lay there pitifully? Remember, wasting food is a bad habit.

2. What’s your record time for eating all of the popcorn at the movie theatre?

You can’t tell me that my bucket of popcorn can possibly last for the entire film! Surely it’s only supposed to get me through the previews, am I right?

3. Do you believe in ghosts?

Make sure to note down their reply and act accordingly. A white sheet with some holes for eyes should do the trick.

4. Do you think that cats are secretly out to get us?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen some demonic cats in my time. They’re definitely up to something, I’m telling you.

5. How do you put on your toilet roll?

There is only one way of doing it, so technically this shouldn’t even be question. If you answer incorrectly then you definitely don’t belong on this planet.

6. How much do you like fried chicken?

This is a really important question that you have to ask anyone you go on a date with. It will help you determine whether they are the right match for you. Make sure that you consider their response carefully before deciding whether you want to go on another date with them.

7. How many times have you tried communicating with your dog?

Whether telepathically or in the more traditional way, I can guarantee that all of us dog lovers out there have definitely tried speaking to our dog. What’s more, it actually works, and they’ve got a lot to tell us.

8. How different am I to my [insert social media here] profile?

Actually, I’m not sure you would want to know the answer to this. But you deserve a bit thumbs up if you dare to ask (just joking, I’m sure they’ll be nice about it).

9. Why are you still single?

A perfect question that can be interpreted in two very different ways. Make sure to make it sound like you’re complementing them.

10. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve Googled?

Hey Google, how do you cook bacon? We’ve all been there and done that, but at least we’ve learned from the experience (at least I hope so). I have my own list of stupid things I’ve had to look up online. Who knows, maybe your date is just as silly as you are? There’s no way of knowing until you ask! This one of the funny first date questions that could get weird so enjoy!

11. If you didn’t know my name, what would you call me?

‘Oh, you definitely look like [insert name here]’ is a phrase I have heard way too many times. Still, I find it entertaining to see what names people can come up with for me. In fact, I can’t blame them for doing that, because I often try to guess the names of waiters in restaurants before they come to take my order. It’s fun, you should try it sometime.

12. Could you survive without your phone?

The answer is: no. How else am I going to keep my Snapchat streak going? My bestie will never forgive me for that.

13. How long will you suffer for until you finally get up to get that remote?

I’m telling you, it’s definitely too far away to reach. I’m sure that if I just sit here for another minute or so, someone will bring it to me. It’s okay, I can wait.

14. What’s the longest you’ve ever slept for?

Sticking to the topic of laziness (which, by the way, isn’t a sin), I can assure you that some people are literally impossible to out-sleep. What’s the longest you’ve ever slept for? I’m sure you’ll be proud to know that your date is still miles away from your personal best.

15. The smell of which alcohol reminds you of that night you almost died?

It’s good old Baileys for me. Never again will I come near it and don’t even try to force me. I’m sure we’ve can all vividly remember that one night (you know which one I’m talking about) and that one particular drink that you don’t want to taste ever again. This is definitely one of the funny first date questions that will lead to a good story!
