Finding the right questions to ask on a third date can be tricky. You might feel you’ve run out of stuff to talk about after the first two dates, but that shouldn’t be the case.

One of the main things to talk about on a third date is what you’ve been up to since your previous date. You can also ask deeper questions that dive into what makes your date tick and where they see the two of you going.

Any third date conversation should involve talking about what the two of you are looking for. Odds are that if you’re on a third date together, then you both like each other. So finding out what you’re both looking for in a partner is an important topic to talk about.

These 3rd date questions should provide you with plenty of great talking points to make this date as good, and interesting, as the previous two!
