TLDR: Is it wise to play the 36 questions game with a first date?

What’s up boys. I have been pretty successful recently setting up a couple first dates for this weekend and this upcoming week.

There is a tool that I wish to get your opinions on. It is called the 36 questions that lead to love. Some of you may know what they are, others may not. For those of you who don’t know.

The so-called 36 questions to fall in love are a set of questions developed in the 1990s by psychologists Arthur Aron, Ph.D., Elaine Aron, Ph.D., and other researchers to see if two strangers can develop an intimate connection just from asking each other a series of increasingly personal questions. The experiment became massively popular after the New York Times Modern Love column published an essay by Mandy Len Catron in 2015 about her experience trying the questions with an acquaintance whom she went on to marry.

The questions come in 3 sets and they are pretty intimate and personal questions. An example of set one :

Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Would you like to be famous? In what way?

Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

What would constitute a "perfect" day for you?

When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.

For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?

As you can see these questions can really make a person open. My question to all of you is would you consider doing this question experiment or game with a girl on a first date. Years ago I did it with an ex on a third date I believe and me and her ended up “falling in love” a few months later

That’s my experience with it and I am debating on whether or not to use it again.

Let me know what you think.
