When you are on a date, what do you look for? Interesting and stimulating conversations that pique each others’ curiosity, enough to get both of you on a second date, at least. The first date, in that regard, serves as the foundation for the ensuing meetings. However, some among us might feel hesitant to open up or keep conversations flowing. Here’s where astrology has a crucial role to play. So, break the ice and connect with your prospective partner with these perfect first-date questions to charm your love interest.
What to ask on your first date according to zodiac signs
Aries (21 March – 19 April )
Aries is a fire sign denoted by the ram and ruled by the planet of drive, ambition and desire, Mars. These highly motivated individuals like to achieve everything all at once. However, dating an Aries is like getting a whole package because they are romantic, spontaneous and like to love-bomb. However, their shortcomings are their lack of patience and short temper.
First-date question for Aries: What do you desire?
The best way to show your interest in them is to ask about their ambitions and goals for the future. This would make them feel wanted and valued — which is a great deal for an Aries.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Taureans are one of the most stable and resilient signs on the wheel. Symbolised by the celestial bull, they are earth signs ruled by the planet of money and love, Venus. Although they are naturally hard workers, they greatly value their downtime.
First-date question for Taurus: What would you like to eat?
Connoisseurs of the best food spots in town, you can get them to like you by asking them about their food preferences and places you should hit together to binge-eat as a couple. Food is a way to their hearts and a pathway to progress in a relationship with this Venusian sign.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
The first air sign of the zodiac chart, Gemini symbolised by the Twins represents duality. They are obsessed with keeping up with the trends, meeting new people and participating in fun activities. They are ruled by Mercury, which affects communication and travel. Great at expressing themselves, they are branded social butterflies who like to flit from one event to another with charm and ease.
First-date question for Gemini: What is the last interesting thing you did?
Since the downside of this zodiac is that they get bored very easily, the key to keeping the conversation flowing seamlessly is to ask about all the exciting endeavours they have been part of.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Cancerians are the most emotional of the lot because they are governed by the moon. Peaceful, empathetic and nurturing, this crustacean water sign is a bit reserved for sure, but it is very important to earn their trust to get the relationship heading to a happily-ever-after. They seldom date for fun because they tend to connect on a deeper level.
First-date question for Cancer: What are the qualities you look for in your partner?
One could ask them this slightly serious question on the first date because, with this, there would be some clarity of expressions at both ends. They would also feel heard, which will have a positive impact on the relationship, going forward.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
Leos love the spotlight on them at all times. Period. They like to stay in focus, nay, be the focus. The key to getting them hooked on to you is to let them believe that they are the stars. Giving undivided attention also helps. Symbolised by a lion, this fire sign will take a bullet for you if it likes you. Their loyalty is unmatched and so is their care and love.
First-date question for Leo: If your life were a movie, which fictional character would you play?
Ruled by the Sun, they are beacons of positivity and confidence. They like keeping conversations interesting and fun. Tap into their main character’s energy to meet their best version.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Virgo is an earth sign driven by perfection and detail-oriented behaviour. They like to be well-organised and particular about every project they take up. They hate tardiness, indiscipline and insincerity. Denoted by the Maiden, they are ruled by Mercury and tend to internalise their communication.
First-date question for Virgo: What is your best accomplishment so far?
It is important to get them talking, and wanting to know about their achievements is the best way to do it.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
Venus, the planet of love, rules this balance-seeking air sign denoted by a weighing scale. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and are known for their intelligent and flirtatious ways. Other zodiacs get swept off their feet because of Libra’s chivalry and charm.
First-date question for Libra: What is your idea of a perfect date?
Knowing about their vision of a perfect date will give you a perspective on what they are looking at and is a way to capture their attention. They love beauty in every form and are very graceful in their approach to life. A light and romantic question like this will, hence, appeal to them.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
Scorpio, denoted by a scorpion, is an intense water sign ruled by the planet of rebirth and destruction, Pluto. They are highly intuitive and misunderstood as vengeful, but in reality, they are very intelligent and can spot fake people right away. Needless to say, they are not everyone’s cup of tea. But once they like you, they go all out. Their passion and loyalty are unmatched.
First-date question for Scorpio: What is your biggest fear?
They seem intimidating, and it could be daunting to keep them interested in a conversion. Asking them about their fears is a good ice-breaker, as it would make them think and respond genuinely.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Sagittarians are quite easy to figure out. Brutally honest and extremely adventurous, they are denoted by an archer and are the last of the three fire signs on the zodiac chart. Ruled by the planet of travel, Jupiter, they are born explorers. They might have a bit of commitment issues because they hate to be tied down or stuck in a situation, but once in a relationship, they are honest and giving in nature.
First-date question for Sagittarius: Which is the next destination on your travel bucket list?
Talking about their travel plans on the first date is the best way to get them warmed up to spending time with you.
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
Capricorn, an earth sign, denoted by a sea goat is the most serious of all the 12 signs. They are governed by the planet Saturn, which stands for rules, regulations and discipline. Hence, they are workaholics and aspire to get their dream job. Bound by duty and always trying to do the right thing, they hate frivolous people and flippant conversations.
First-date question for Capricorn: What turns you off in a partner?
It is better to know this from their perspective to be aware of their absolute nos in a relationship. This will also give you an idea of how you can match up to their expectations.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Aquarius or the water bearer is the most progressive sign of all. Ruled by the planet of revolution, Uranus, they tend to put others before themselves. More often than not, they care deeply about a cause and think seriously about world peace.
First-date question for Aquarius: What cause are you deeply passionate about?
It would mean a lot to them if they were asked about this aspect of their life.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
Pisces is the last sign on the wheel and is the calmest of all. They are peace-loving, meditative and like to stay in their own La-la land. This is because they are ruled by the planet of dreams and fantasies, Neptune. They tend to view the world through rose-tinted glasses and are often accused of being cut off from reality.
First-date question for Pisces: What did you dream last night?
Talking about their dreams is the best way to initiate a conversation with them.
