I have one for all of you . I went on this date and this guy asked me How long ago did your husband die ? ( I had been a widow for all of 3 yrs ) I found that rather personal .

Yup, ^that^.

She might have called the cops on you.

Wouldn't know.. I never dated a girl who wasn't already a good friend. I'd probably suck at first dates, I always ask personal questions.

If she were that retarded as to take me seriously then I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with her anyway, so she probably did both of us a favor when she bailed.

Personally I think it's always best to stay away from the 3rd degree or intimate questions on a first date. A first date should be fun and entertaining, a gateway to see if you want to get to know each other better. As a rule, stay away from personal questions regarding past sexual relationships, sexual preferences, money issues and don't talk about exes. If you start to form a bond, those relationships are naturally discussed in appropriate time.

Stick to interests, hobbies, entertainment, likes/dislikes, work chat, basic family questions and such.

I think it is going to depend on the date. I would not ask stuff like your mothers maiden name though.

city you were born?
mothers maiden name?
last 4 digits on your social security number?
high school mascot?
name of your childhood best friend?


If you are on a date with someone who actually answers all of this, well you might wanna run before you get in a relationship with a fish

I hate the online facebook, too. It's always, "Send me your facebook!" Even before the date! I hate online dating.

And then when not online, I always get guys that volunteer all their past relationship history for whatever reason (I do not ask because I don't want to hear about it!). Ugh, why can't it just be fun and light-hearted about what music and movies we like~ where I would like to vacation at one day, a favorite sport or hobby~ maybe we share one? WHY do I always have to listen to someone whine about how they were hurt in the past on the FIRST date?! Do I look like a free therapist?! Huh, I think I might start asking them that question in return, haha! Then someone will show up here one day and say, "This girl asked me if she looked like a free therapist" on our first date!
