Speed dating questions that actually work
Six minutes goes fast. These questions get you past small talk without feeling like an interview. Tap any question to load it into the timer.
The best speed dating conversations aren't clever. They're curious. Ask about something the other person chose, like a place, a weekend or a food, and then ask one follow-up. That second question is where people relax.
A simple shape for six minutes: one easy opener, one follow-up, one question that goes a little deeper, and leave the last minute for them to ask you something.
Three to skip
- “So, what do you do?” Everyone gets asked it twelve times. Save it for minute five.
- Anything about exes.
- “Why are you single?” It sounds like an accusation, however kindly it's meant.
