First dates can be a lot of fun, but they can also be incredibly nerve-racking — especially if you are getting back into the dating scene or are generally shy when it comes to meeting new people. This can make asking good first date questions challenging, never mind navigating those dreaded awkward silences. Luckily, these dating expert-approved ideas for questions to ask on a date will help make your first meeting go as smoothly as possible, so you can focus on having fun and getting to know the person in front of you.

Woman's Day spoke to relationship experts including matchmakers, dating coaches, psychologists, and authors to find out the best questions to ask on a first date that’ll help you decide if there should be a second. The first date should be about testing the waters and asking mostly surface-level questions. Matchmaker and dating coach Stefanie Safran suggests that you come to the (literal or metaphorical) table with a few questions in mind. She adds that if you ask a more sensitive question, it's important to note their body language, and put a cap on this line of discussion as things could become uncomfortable. Just like there are flirty and romantic questions to ask on your first date, there are also some "juicy" questions you should probably avoid.
