DATING

The ultimate dating questions Whether it’s over dinner, a walk in the park, or a cosy coffee date, asking the right questions can transform your first date into a meaningful connection. Having been through plenty of dating experiences myself, one thing I’ve learned is this: ask about the things that genuinely matter to you. These early conversations are like a sneak peek into whether you’re on the same page, or miles apart.
