I would like to ask the women on this forum a very specific question, and I've included a poll.
When you are on a date, or when you are initially talking with a man and getting to know him, and after the initial part of the conversation is finished (i.e. pleasantries, how are you, etc), what is the most likely question that you will ask him first, out of the questions in the poll above?

Nah, I can't recall being asked what I do for a living before I meet someone (general field, i.e. academia I'll put in a profile, sure, but not generally asked specifics), and where I grew up isn't super common either).
Of course, I don't do the whole chat back and forth for weeks thing either. But yeah, the other stuff, for OLD atleast, is already known.
Like others have said aside from a blind date for the most part I would know these things about a guy before dating. Even with online dating you know these things because they are usually in his profile. I'm most likely to start off a date with small talk. You can learn a lot from a person with small talk. Take my current boyfriend. We started off by talking about books because he brought me a gift of a book. That lead into movies based on books and then what movies we liked and why and then more into our personal lives etc. Mext thing we know hours have passed and we are still talking.
None of them. When dating, I just conversed and listened as things come up organically.
I've been a reporter who interviewed people for a living. The last thing I wanted to do was do it on a date.
