Speed dating is a fun and exciting way to meet new people. It’s a great way to get to know someone without committing to a date and without feeling pressured to give them your contact details.
However, it can be tricky to keep the conversation flowing in a short space of time. It’s important to find questions that will help you keep the conversations moving and make the most of your time at the event!
1. What’s your secret superpower?
A question like this can be hard to come up with an answer to. It is important to think of something that is easy to explain and aligns with your biggest strengths.
This also helps you to avoid a smug, boastful answer. Employers are looking for original answers to unusual questions so make sure you can show them why your superpower is relevant to the role and company.
2. What’s your dream job?
Your dream job is a role that you would love to be in, whether it is full-time or part-time. It is an ideal position for you because it will suit your personality and lifestyle perfectly.
You can also give your answer some context by mentioning what you value in a job, including skills and company culture. This is important because the interviewer wants to see that you are a person who values their work and is committed to their career path.
3. What’s your perfect holiday?
When it comes to your perfect holiday, there is no such thing as one single answer. It depends on your priorities and what you want out of a holiday.
For me, the perfect holiday is somewhere that combines relaxation and adventure. Whether that be an island in the middle of nowhere, a big city or a whole region with lots to see and do.
4. What’s your go-to snack?
Whether you’re on the road or at home, a snack that’s high in protein and low in calories is key. A hummus-celery combo is perfect for the job. It also includes B vitamins. Plus, it’s super easy to carry around! Try it!
You won’t regret it. And you’ll have a great weekend! What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
5. What’s your ideal weekend?
The ideal weekend is one that involves doing a lot of your own things. This could be DIY projects, garden maintenance or even restoring an old car.
This is the perfect way to get away from the normality of life and spend time on those personal projects that have been niggling at you for some time now. It’s a great way to make use of your weekends and it will really feel like you’ve achieved something when it’s done!
6. How do you usually spend your Sunday evenings?
For some people, it’s a time to focus on their spiritual practices; they rise early and go for morning worship. Others spend it relaxing at home, taking a nap or cooking for a Sunday evening dinner.
However you spend your Sunday evenings, it’s important to have a few things in place that will help you start the week on a positive note.
7. Why do you think humans exist?
The question of why humans exist is a vital one that deserves much thought. It is not a question that science alone can answer, nor even the humanities, but rather one that is best addressed by bridging the gap between the two.
The answers to this question are complex and fascinating, with many different interpretations. This is why the humanities and the science of evolution are both important – a holistic understanding of our species is only possible by combining the heuristic and analytical power of scientific thinking with the introspective creativity of the humanities.
8. Have you ever cheated on someone?
Marriage is one of the most sacred and enduring of human relationships. It is God’s gift to man, and He intended it to be a beautiful and fulfilling union.
However, cheating is not uncommon in the world of modern relationships. Some people lash out and cheat when they feel their relationship is in trouble, while others let themselves get carried away and don’t really know why they did it.
9. What’s your take on marriage?
Marriage is not for everyone, but it certainly does have its place in some people’s lives. It can be a great way to find true companionship and happiness.
But before you get married, make sure it’s for the right reasons. Otherwise, you’re probably better off being single.
10. What’s your ideal date?
Seeing a good film at the theater or a speakeasy with cocktails in hand is always a winner. It’s also a good way to keep the conversation flowing without getting sucked into the small talk.
A visit to an art museum or gallery is also a must. It can give you and your date something to discuss, says Deen Rose, author of The Art of Being Human.
