What to ask your partner, on your first date?

You shouldn't ask anything. If that person wants to tell you something they will.

this is difficult to answer, we all have our own styles and our own way to approach. i am lucky for my wife was very accommodating. when i ask her out back on those days she was fun to be with. she was talkative and there was no problem at all on how to start a conversation. but the topic was more on getting to know more... like what kind of movies do we like and when we hit a certain movie that we both like then we talk about that. lucky again that my wife likes action/comedy movies not like other ladies who loves to watch love story.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Every time I've ever been on a date it just felt like I was hanging out with someone awesome rather than actually being on a date. If you work well with the person, then the conversation should flow naturally. That said, try not to ask too intrusive questions or things too personal. As someone once said (Van Wilder, I believe. :P ) "First dates are interviews". Ask questions that would help you get to know the person. What are their hobbies, their job, what kind of movies to they like.... That sort of thing. But I'm not exactly the most experienced person in this regard, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I would want my husband to ask me questions that he has never asked before, as in what one moment has significantly changed your life and why? Or, where would you like to go anywhere in the world that you have never been? What is your idea of the most romantic date? Things like that! Things that at other times he probably wouldn't think to ask =)

Besides asking "Are you all ready married?" or "Do you have any STDs?" Or "Do you have any kids?" Just kidding. I'd probably ask something that will have them launch into a story of some sort. I like the idea of "What is your most embarrassing moment? Or even the common, "What do you do in your spare time?" You get a lot of information out of what people like to do in their spare time. Or maybe even "If you were to die tomorrow, what would y you do today?" Or maybe something easier like, "What message would you put in a fortune cookie?" By the way, I like your discussion question!
