QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS........

QuestionmarkThe most frequently asked questions on a speed date are - ‘What do you do?' ‘Where do you live?' ‘Have you been speed dating before?'

It's going to be a very boring repetitive night when you've been asked them 10 times.

Having another person show real interest in you is extremely flattering, so asking interesting questions should score good points with your date.

It's best to ask questions of interest or relative to you and then you will see if you have things in common or should be living on different planets.

Forget the closed questions that answer with a simple yes or no. Ask open ended or probing questions that encourage an interesting reply or explanation.

It's worth having some imaginative teasers up your sleeve to use when you sense the conversation's flagging.

You'd be surprised how interesting people can be if you ask the right questions!
