For those on a time crunch:
1. Do they have the same beliefs as you? (Are they a Christian?)
2. "What is something that you don't want me to know about you?"
3. "What is something you do want me to know about you?"
4. Ask about their family and what kind of relationship they have with their family members.
5. "Describe yourself in three words."
6. "What has been your greatest failure?"
7. "What has been your greatest achievement?"
8. "Walk me through a day in your life."
9. "If you had to think happy thoughts in order to fly, what would you think about?"
10. (If they are a Christian): "Would you describe your relationship with Jesus cold, lukewarm, or hot, and why?"
11. "If you could go back and do something in your life differently, what would it be?"
12. "What do you look for in a significant other?"
13. (Possible follow-up to question twelve if you want to): "Do you match that description?"
14. "What is something that has made you laugh until you cried?"
15. "Why did your previous relationships not work out?"

I've never been on a date, but one of the very first questions I'd ask is "what's your testimony?"

[jam]

Date and ask questions with intention and purpose.

[mariachiu]

Here are some questions I thought of:

Would you say you are content with life now?
What is your greatest struggle now? What is the greatest struggle you have overcome by God's grace?
What has God been teaching you recently?
How would you like me to pray for you?
What is your favorite Bible verse? Why?
If God were to tell you to leave your home country to be a missionary, would you go?
How would you summarize your relationship with your parents, siblings, coworkers, boss, and pastor in one sentence?
What talents has God given you, and how do you think He wants you to use them?
If your future child was in a relationship, would you want that date to be a person like you?

"Hey this is Sutton and Sutton with another video!"

[erinosborn]

It’s fun to see you just by yourself, Sutton. You rocked this video 😎

[rebekahmalcom]

I love that question “what’s something you don’t want me to know about you?” That’s so good! Definitely an ice breaker. I sometimes ask people (and asked my husband too when we were dating) “who is someone that you’d like to emulate and why?”, so trying to see who they look up to. I think that can tell a lot about a person 😊

[CourageDearHeart]

Didn't even realize this was your first video by yourself. Loved it!
...
Side note: Ladies, ask a man what his vision is cause that's what you are going to be helping to see come to fruition.
When a woman is getting to know someone she is literally approaching a man who has recognized his assignment and is working on it and saying "How can I help with that?" Because women are helpers. Men are leaders. I know this is 2021 and the times may otherwise but this is the biblical concept and it just makes sense.
...
And ladies always ALWAYS remember you are the prize💎. I think that is pretty much self explanatory.
...
Blessings to you and yours.

when I think about what I want to talk about with someone on the first date, half of the time I'm like "I can't ask that, it might get really awkward" and the second half I'm like " nevermind, if he thinks it's awkward he's probably not what I'm looking for anyway"

[bridgettemiller]

I was just wanting a video like this. First date videos are great.

[jam]

You're amazing Sutton! You got this.

[kaitlynfernsten]

another question i like to ask is "where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

[lovisabengtsson]

saving this, might come in handy in the future

[real_emeldah]

Lol you did the clap alone today. I felt his absence. 🥺

[NinaThomas]

I like to ask what they're reading in the Bible at the moment. :)

[lessmenos]

I always ask why their previous relationships didn't work out! Because it opens the door for me to talk about how serious I am towards chastity and their reaction usually tells me whether or not is prudent to pursue a relationship with them

[faithinshorts]

Blessed is the woman who fears and honors God. I see such a woman in you Sutton. You are a blessing to your husband and to your sons and to your family. Keep it up! Love from India! Jesus is LORD!

[aspalathos]

The fact that you want most of the time to have deep conversations I totally understand!!! I'm like that too and when I tell my friends they say that's abnormal! Hehe but I like it anyway!! Thanks so much for your helpful questions! Pray for us to find a date so we can actually use them!! May God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤️😊🙏

[imaginator]

I love having deep conversations! I mean I dont mind light hearted conversations and to joke around, but I'm able to bond better with a deep conversation.

[amberwhite]

Some good deep questions! I’ll keep some in my pocket for when I do finally go on my first date. I def appreciate the tips for the Christian folks. As a Christian, my first concern is that we both love the Lord.
