The Interview Date
Ever been on a date where the person you are with spends the evening constantly pummeling you with questions? Ever been guilty of being the interrogator? Well based on a lot of client feedback this date is no fun! It makes for a very boring date and it's uncomfortable to the person being interrogated. So how do you fix this situation? Keep reading to learn how to avoid the Interview Date.
The Interrogator:
If you are the person who tends to ask a lot of questions of your date take a step back. You do not have to decide on date #1 if this person is the right one for you. It's not necessary to find out every detail about them right away. It''s more important to get to know their personality, whether you can connect, and whether s/he makes you laugh.
Tips for the Interrogator:
In order to make sure you aren't just asking your date a series of questions, have a game plan in mind. What are you going to do to avoid interviewing your date?
- Ask Unusual Questions. Have some fun, off the wall questions to ask such as "If you could interview one person, dead or alive, who would it be?" or "Do you have a favorite joke that you like to tell?" Anything out of the norm rather than "do you want children?" "What do you do for a living?" "Why'd you get divorced?"
- Treat Your Date Like a Good Friend. Pretend you are out with a close friend. Would you spend the evening asking your friend questions all night? No, you would just be conversing, exchanging opinions, anecdotes, and other information.
- Plan an Outing. Do something on your date that automatically gives you something to talk about. Go to a museum, play putt-putt, or visit the Botanic Gardens. There are ready made topics of conversation to get you started.
Tips for the Prisoner:
What do you do when you are the person being asked a bunch of questions on the date? Here are some tips for turning it around.
- Politely Stand Up For Yourself. You don't need to sit there on your date and constantly answer questions. Tease your date, flirt a little, let them know how inquisitive you think they are but that you'd like to know more about them too.
- Lighten up the Questions. Try to steer your date into the unexpected. Reverse the questioning and try to gear your questions to the more unusual type (see #1 above).
- Reverse Their Questions Back to Them. This one takes a lot of practice, because we are all taught to answer the questions people ask us. To reverse a question back to your date, you respond with a buffer such as, "That's a great question." Then follow up and ask them a question back such as "I'm curious why you ask?" or "I'd love to know what you think about that, would you mind telling me first?" or "I'm happy to answer that question but why don't you go first?"
Look back on your last several dates, were you the interrogator or the prisoner? Then plan what to do the next time you fall into one of these roles, it will make your first date that much better and might even get you a second date.

Go for 18!
Holes of miniature golf that is! Even an avid golfer can have fun on a putt-putt course! Not only that but it is a lot less expensive than real golfing and a great deal of fun. Plus you'll get to learn some things about your date, such as how competitive your date is or whether he or she cheats!
Don't know where to go to play? Here are some suggestions.
Boondocks Fun Center located just off of I-25 in Northglenn. They have two 18-hole courses.
Putter's Pride located just south of Hampden on Kipling. They have 54 holes to play and most of it is shaded, so even on a hot summer day it won't be too scorching.
Colorado Journey Miniature Golf located in Littleton.
