Hey there. I’m going on a first date soon and I don’t want to mess it up. She’s catholic and so am I. What are some good conversation starters I can bring up?
 
What’s your favorite movie/book/TV show? Do you like Mexican/Italian/French food? Tell me the thing you like best about your job? Do you have hobbies?
 
What is on your bucket list?

Name 5 historical people, living or dead that you would invite to a dinner party.

Where would you want to go if you won an all expense paid trip?

However, you would have to be able to work any questions into the conversation, otherwise it just sounds like you made a list of questions. Awkward. 😉

Good luck to you. Remember, listening is very important, and most people love talking about themselves.
 
My daughter and I are constantly asking each other “what about X? Are they invited? “ We have given up on keeping it at 5. ☺️
 
The first date is an interview. Both of you are applying. Don’t spend so much time worrying about impressing her that you aren’t evaluating her as well.
 
Maybe not for a first date, but some already made questionnaries can be helpful to know each other. It can be a game.

One famous of them here, the Proust Questionnaire:


the anwers can change if made again after some time.

After others who go on more deeper questions can be found as a relationship progress.

I think that covers the bases for the first date.
 
Update: I don’t think there was a spark. She is a very nice woman who is strong in her faith though
 
I felt like I asked a lot of questions. There were some moments of awkward silence though. I couldn’t tell if it was due to her not being into me or if it was because she’s like bad at dating because she hasn’t dated much or because she’s shy or something
 
Well if that’s so, that may be why there is no spark. Will you venture a second date?

Don’t forget to mention your porn and masturbation addictions. That always makes for GREAT first date conversation.
 
My guess is that you were both sort of awkward. Talk to her like you would to anyone else, do a second date that is something other than sitting across a table interviewing one another. Go play mini-golf or go bowling, hiking, climbing, go to one of those “paint a picture” or “make ceramics” places, do a cooking class together. Engage in an activity together and lighten things up a bit!
 
Next time you do a first date, ditch the interview model and do some activity together.
