<div class="text-justify">
I was glancing through my status and I came across a very funny one.

It was a simple question and the question was

  > what questions will you ask on a first date?

So many questions popped ranging from serious ones like long term goals to funny one's like how mad can you be.

Some year's back I used to feel these questions were not necessary but in recent times, I see reasons why these questions should be asked.

A lot of times people are tempted to give a false picture of themselves on dates but I feel it gives us a basis to judge certain things be it false or true.

I feel there are certain things I should ask on a first date. 
Most of it will be questions that will try to reflect the state of their mind and how they think.



After thinking of this question, I thought of long term goals, I thought of life plans, I thought of spirituality. 



The questions on a first date in my opinion should be questions that reflect a whole lot about a person and how much work has been done as regards self-development.

The reason for this is that a lot of people think that people can make them happy while true happiness comes from within.

I mean if you are happy by yourself, you can only give off happiness.

You will be surprised that a lot of people are not happy. According to WHO, depression happens to be the leading cause of disability among adults. It is also worth noting 5% of the world's population suffers from depression.

This translates to 5  in every 100 adults. This is crazy!!

After all these things, I feel most of my questions on a first date will be questions that will push me to know the state of mind of the person in question.

That being said, I think my very first question will be 

  >   what makes you happy?


This question looks so simple but in my opinion, it goes a long way in knowing how a person is.

It is also a question that most people answer casually and hence, lying and pretending might be minimal.

Another question might be long term goals cos I don't think it's all about the physical looks alone. I feel for two people to go far, their goals should be in line with each other.

I also feel that once people have goals that are in tandem with each other, they can both work towards that goal.


That's all for my thoughts today.

**So what question will you ask on your first date?**
