10 Foolproof Questions To Ask On Your Next FaceTime Date

In our post-COVID world, FaceTime dates are way more frequent than ever before. Talking to a guy or gal the first time (or even the eighth time!) can be nerve-racking. But here's 10 questions that are great for creating a nice, flowing conversation.

1. "What are your life dreams?"

Dreams and ambitions drive and motivate us. Knowing what pushes your date to do their best each day is a great thing to know.

2. "What was the first thing you noticed about me?"

I don't know why, but this one is always a goodie. If you're ready for some grins and truth (hopefully), this is the question to ask.

3. "What’s the most shocking/interesting thing about you?"

I absolutely love asking this question! Most of the time we don't just have at the forefront of our minds what makes us "interesting" or different. It's a question that might add some excitement to the conversation.

4. "Can you explain that?"

To be particular, my leading man plays a sport I'm not very familiar with. On our very first FaceTime the first thing I asked him about was that. He spent at least 10-15 minutes just explaining all the field positions!

5. "What’s your favorite food, sport, etc.?"

I'm sure we ALL enjoy talking about things we like. Asking your date about their favorite pastimes or food could lead to a long, interesting discussion.

6. "What do you value the most?"

Opposites attract, but not when it comes to important things like what you value in life! Take the time during your chat to see if you're both on the same page about long-term goals and wants.

7. "How do you feel about me?"

For some reason, every guy I have gone on a date with has asked me this. But, I love this question! This is the perfect question to see what traits or cute little quirks they think make you unique.

8. "What’s your favorite childhood memory?"

Whether it's eating blueberry pie at grandmas' or dancing the Bhangra at your aunt's wedding, most of us have fond memories from our childhoods we'd love to relive. Ask this question and the conversation may go on for hours!

9. "How do you feel about...?"

Women's rights and anti-human trafficking efforts are two causes that are near and dear to my heart. Making sure you and your potential boo are on the same page concerning things you feel passionate about is important.

10. "What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done?"

One of the best ways to bond is through laughter. What better way to laugh than over how your teacher caught your bestie trying to teach you how to twerk?! Share those embarrassing stories. If he's for you, he'll enjoy it. Trust me.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
