Comment “connect” and I’ll send you a first date blueprint to avoid being ghosted and be magnetic instead!
Never ask, “So what do you do for a living,” on a first date. Also, never ask for a credit score, where they live (assessing for zip code wealth), how much they make, what they drive, etc. 😡.
Men do not like feeling “interviewed” before he know if you even like him. Men don’t want to have to “perform” for a girlfriend or wife. We wish to just be liked genuinely.
I give you waaaay better questions to ask if you want men to plan a second date with you while still on the first one because you are so amazing.
1) Lead with warmth, not work. Start human before you start assessing. (“I’m glad we did this—how’s your day really been?” “What’s been the best part of your week?”)
2) Ask identity-first questions. Learn who he is before you focus on what he produces. (“What do you enjoy about your work?” “What made you choose that path?”)
3) Use the Curiosity Ladder (flow, not rapid-fire). Ask → follow up → reflect → share a little → invite him back. (“What made that meaningful?” “I can tell you value ___.” “I’m similar because…”)
4) Catch bids for connection. If he jokes, tells a story, or shares a detail—receive it. (“Wait—tell me more.” “That’s funny—what happened next?” “I like your sense of humor.”)
5) Share micro-disclosure (no trauma dumping). Give small, warm glimpses of you so you’re memorable. (“I’m lowkey nerdy about ___.” “A perfect Saturday for me looks like…”)
6) Bring spark + standards. Stay warm and clear about intentional dating. (“I date intentionally—what does that mean to you?” “How do you handle conflict when you care?”)
7) Offer a future glimpse (without pressure). Light vision questions signal purpose, not desperation. (“What are you building in your life right now?” “What does a healthy relationship look like day-to-day?”)
8) Keep romantic energy (chemistry without chasing). Be present, playful, and feminine—don’t make it feel like HR. (“Quick question—what’s your most controversial food opinion?” “I can tell you’re competitive… am I right?”)
I break this down in even more detail (see link in bio).
