Quirky questions to ask when Speed Dating

I'm often disappointed when I go online searching for good questions to ask when speed dating, or for that matter, for on any first date.

I can find the usual good advice about not asking closed questions that have one word answers, or unimaginative ones like "what to you do for a living?"

But all articles then suggest a series of dull questions about hobbies or goals or worse (like "what was your happiest experience?") - ugh! I promise you, these will make your speed date grown inwardly, as he or she has been asked that question 10 times already during the course of the evening.

At a speed-dating event, you need to be memorable to differentiate yourself, so that when he or she is confronted with their list of selections, you make the shortlist. In addition, we all say we want our partner to have a sense of humor, and so why not check if they have one (and prove that you do) during your six minute date?

So, here are 10 quirky questions to help you both enjoy your short time together, and to help your date remember you when it comes to making selections:

1. If you were a stalker, would you be really good at it? (This helps you find out if he or she is determined and resourceful!)
   
   
2. What would be your reaction if you were told that you had to marry the first person you ever had a crush on? (Everyone has a funny first love story...)
   
   
3. What embarrassing incident would you absolutely refuse to tell me about? No, go on, you can tell me, I feel we've become close. (If he/she tells you, and the date doesn't work out, then you can always post it on the internet)
   
   
4. Which television program would you refuse to give up for a date with me? (if he/she says FOX News, it?s probably not going to work out).
   
   
5. What country would you most recommend that I visit? For example, after we?ve broken up, and you would prefer me on the other side of the world?
   
   
6. If people were thrown in jail for bad habits, what (or who) would you be thrown in jail for? (Might as well know early what these issues are)
   
   
7. When something cool happens in a movie, are you one of those who clap, or one of those who smile condescendingly at the clappers?
   
   
8. If I knew your full name, and googled it, will I be more likely to want to date you, or less likely, or remain completely uninformed?
   
   
9. At the Olympic Games for people with excellent dating histories, would you win a medal?
   
   
10. What would be your chosen superpower? Would you use it for good or evil?
