Miss Seal I stumbled upon the funniest advice site -
AskMen.com - where men write in asking for advice on various topics. The
article I happened to look at was entitled "The Top 10 Questions To Ask Your Date." Essentially, a guy was complaining how his dates keep asking him tough "interview-like" questions, and he wants to know how he can answer them. He was advised to be sarcastic ("never give a straight response!") and fire difficult questions back. The questions (suggested by Doc Love) appear below:
1. What do you think is the biggest mistake that men tend to make in relationships? (This will tell you a lot about what turns her off and also about her attitude toward men in general.)
2. Do you think that men tend to be too macho or too sensitive?
3. What are the qualities of your ideal relationship?
4. Have you ever gone out with a guy who was a
Challenge? (Have her describe how he was a Challenge and how she responded to it.)
5. What's the most important thing that men don't understand about women that they should?
6. Have you ever had your heart broken? (The more beautiful she is, the more likely the answer will be no. It's actually better if the answer is yes. A girl whose heart has been broken has some humility.)
7. What scares you the most about opening your heart to a man?
8. Were you usually the dumper or the dumpee in your past relationships?
9. Do you feel that you've ever had a truly successful relationship?
10. Why did your last relationship fail? (Note: Does she take any responsibility or was it all her ex-boyfriend's fault?)
Okay, I think Doc Love needs to have his license revoked, if for nothing else, than for his side comments. How many of these questions would you actually ask on a first date? Which question do you think would prove most troublesome? And what the heck does it mean when a guy is a challenge?

Those questions are way too forward for a first date. Some of those are questions you shouldn't even ask until you're dating the person, haha...
I think these are sincere questions... I'm always this forward, haha. Â Then again, I always actually genuinely care about the woman.
this is an interview, not a date, wait till you have a second or third, giminey christmas, what is he thinking?
This reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld. It's as if you're negotiating business propositions with the other person to get into bed with them. It's weird to me how the role is kinda switched in this situation. o_o;
"So, I've read over your love resume, looks good. But I don't think you're just quite up to par with my other applicants, who have shown me more promise in love-making skills and French foreign relations. I'm afraid I will have to decline your application."
These questions are really inappropriate for a first date. Yikes!
Guys being a challenge = guys are a project, and/or guys are hard to get.
The worst question, if I have to pick, is #10, although #9 is a close second. I am going on a date to look FORWARD, not so that I can answer very personal questions about why a relationship failed. Geez. It's really none of their business, quite frankly, at least on the first date.
And the word "failed" is just AWFUL. Why don't I just make a noose at the dinner table and hang myself? :P
I've asked none of those questions and been asked none of those questions. Well, maybe the one about what people think an ideal relationship is - that's also the least offensive one.
"And what the heck does it mean when a guy is a challenge?"
Come on, that one is obvious - it means you're chasing him; he's not chasing you.
On a first date? Not likely. I would run the other way.
I find this so very funny!!!! Wow he is stupid. Really really really stupid
These questions are too in dept for a first date. I would avoid answering them. Keep it casual and fun!
my only question is if they're clean.
lol what kind of date is this....
...
If a woman asked me those sorts of questions on a first date, I'd ask if she wanted me to submit a resume and cover letter.
I think they are suitable questions you have an intent of dating the person (how do you know you want to date them unless you ask them questions?) but I wouldn't want to answer 7 or 8.
I wouldn't want to be asked these on a first date though. I need to feel comfortable around the guy before I can start talking about this.
eh, I'm iffy on this
I find the questions funny, unless the guy is really uptight, then forget it.
They're good questions to ask, but possibly not on a first date where you want to have fun (not fun as in anything sexual).
Uwah, that sounds really scary and intense. D:
No thanks lol.
Yikes, if someone asked me these questions I'd be running for the door! These are wayyy too intense!
I don't think I could ask those questions with a straight face at all.
Are those super mature adult (40+) questions?
can you say awkward turtle?
BORING DATE
A. I'm not sure if an interrogation is the way to go for the first date and B. I'm not quite sure why if someone is beautiful, chances are they've never had their heart broken. Is this is infer that women who are beautiful are void of feelings and emotions?
Bogus.
those questions would scare guys away
@easily_amused17@xanga - No, I think the idea is that statistically speaking, beautiful women do the heartbreaking, rather than the other way around.
Which, as you pointed out, has little to do with whether or not they had their own hearts broken.
And yeah, down with interrogation. Up with figuring things out yourself!
but if I guy starts asking all the others, I'll prolly just walk away!
i'll hail a cab, get my ass home, if my date ever asks me that.
a date is supposed to be relaxing and chilling right? not a debating/brain storming session
