I'd prefer to ask "normal" questions, like "what do you do". Other questions may be more creative but for example if you ask someone "if you could be an animal, what would you like to be?". What can they answer to such a stupid question? They could say a dog, a lion. But then what? I didn't find out much about the person and the clock is ticking...

The most annoying two questions I've been asked several times were:
- Do I know you from somewhere?
- Are you on TV or something?
Such questions are only pick-up lines 99% of the time. I can't believe how many guys use them...

I had a variation on that one once; I spotted a female acquaintance across a crowded (bar)room, and, for a lark, I stepped up behind her, (she was looking the other way) swept her into my arms and, dipping her like Valentino in a Lambada contest, I laid a big ol' greasy lip-lock on her. But, it turns out this woman was a complete stranger who merely resembled my friend, which I realized just as she began to rather passionately return the kiss.....I was so shocked and mortified, I dropped her on the floor and vacated the premises. In retrospect, I probably should have asked for her number, or at least her name, cuz she was a real good kisser. :lol:

Right now, I have to go make his breakfast protein shake.

Seriously, I would never want to be out dating again.

But your response led to adding a question to the list... :D

If you were my wife, would you make my breakfast protein shake for me every morning?

Well, question with animal sounds maybe really stupid, agree...
But I´ll be curious how the person will react, imagine answer
would be for example bird:-) I would check how the person
will react. I mean like: Hmmmmmmmmm, or don´t know or
Are you serious? People are usually not prepared for unexpected
things or situations and their behaviour after can tell enough about them...

Once a guy asked me "Can you list some of your positive and negative characteristics?"
I felt like I was at a job interview. :)
