My overwhelming life experience is that if I smile and maintain a look of interest on my face, it is not necessary to ask any questions, or even speak at all, and I will learn everything about the majority of men. It doesn't even have to be a date or romantic situation.
For a first date, I would not ask any personal questions. Questions would be more about a man's interests and hobbies. Maybe about his job, but only if he brings it up and wants to talk about it. (really guys, not the best topic for a first date. Way too much "all about you", and normally involves some whining)
First couple of date questions are more like, " What do you like to do in your spare time?" or "Have you been to *local landmark*? (opening here, fellas, to ask for another date)
First date or so is rummaging around, looking for common interests.

Exactly! First, you have to figure out if the two of you have anything in common, any mutual interests you can enjoy discussing, as opposed to blathering on about yourself.
It just seemed so much easier back in the day. Either people didn't analyze things as much, or maybe due to message boards like this one, I just read about people analyzing it to death? I haven't actually dated in almost 15 years. Not looking forward to it.

Yeah, I think this is it. The internet, men's blogs especially, have whipped some people up into some nonsensical anger, bitterness, etc.
Maybe she read a bunch of posts here about guys complaining that women were asking too many questions and they felt like it was a job interview.....?

Nowadays, that'd be more like, "tell me a time when you........" haha.
