About this listen

Let’s just face it: First dates are awkward.

Sorry to break it to you, but romantic meet-cutes are a thing of the past; swipes are in, and hope is out! Just kidding. Sort of.

But do we continue to put ourselves out there? Yes. And will we be willing to move past the possibility of a disastrous encounter with a stranger? Of course.

Call it eternal hope, romanticism, or straight-up foolishness, our human need for connection is strong and the possibility of meeting a potential soulmate will make us do senseless things.

Meeting someone for the first time after merely seeing photos or exchanging a few words is bound to be daunting. For one thing, we inevitably construct a whole persona based on the person’s photos, choice of vocabulary, and communication type.

Through attempting to find a suitable mate, we assess every swipee’s potential and unconsciously create an entire pre and post-date narrative.

That’s where Swipe to Play comes in.

Asking questions is one of the best ways to get to know someone.

Choosing the right questions is tricky, so I’ve got you covered with:

  • Smooth openings: Ice breakers
  • Psyche Digs: Personality types, love languages and intellectual compatibility
  • Cross Examination: Fill in the blank, Lightning round, Quick fire interest quiz
  • Unloading baggage: Diving into dating history, family and upbringing
  • Sunday Roast: Revealing lovable quirks
  • Flirt & Dirt: Naughty and offbeat questions
  • Just Don’t: Things you should never ask on a first date
  • Your foolproof getaway plan: With a focus on open-ended questions for a more genuine dive into a stranger’s soul, these conversation openers will relieve the pressure of first meets and create a playful premise for your first date.

Find your human with these 99 witty questions that will have you laughing, blushing, and avoiding many a first-date faux pas.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The REAL Catch Will Be YOU!

This highly enjoyable book not only delivers on its claim to provide you with 99 First Date Questions so you can find your match, it accomplishes something SURPRISING! It helps YOU to become a great match. This naturally happens as you listen to this audiobook because you start to answer the questions for yourself. You get really clear on who you are, what you like and what you stand for. You also start to imagine the answers you hope your ideal date will give, which I believe will help guide you more intuitively to them. The presentation of the material is so entertaining! Not only does Gardens write with the tone of a trusted best friend, she includes a little upbeat music that makes you feel like you are on a game show! My favorite chapter was 5 "Sunday Roast" which is all about revealing the little lovable quirks in each other. You could enjoy an entire date with the stories these questions will inspire! I found the experience of this book to be really fun and believe it will definitely give you an edge on the dating scene, especially since an ebook you can download for handy reference on the spot is included!

Great activity.

I never listened to an audiobook that was a fun game for a group of friends. I then tried this when I was invited over for a get together and finished the audiobook. This was great. Lot’s of laughter and gotten to know each other. Nicely done!

Very Informative and Instructive.

Not often do you come across a book that gives it all out on a heated topic. This book has gone ahead to reveal all conceivable questions you can possibly ask on a first date. It is mind-blowing that there are so many topics and questions available to us. Unfortunately, we are either too shy or too ignorant of raising these questions.
I highly recommend this audiobook to all who are out there and are challenged with making adequate romantic moves or lack the confidence to engage in smooth discussion on their first date.
I particularly found the advice to stay away from too personal, heated, messy, or potentially triggering topics very relevant and instructive. These questions should be saved for later. This is an indispensable handbook for all.

Clever questions!

Really good ideas and lots of very interesting prompts for better discussions rather than usual closed off questions. Thank you.

What a fun read!!

I care a lot about the internal qualities of a person and found the chapter on "Psyche Digs" particularly useful in getting to them to talk about their real side underneath the facade on first dates !! Full disclosure - I also secretly wish my dates would have asked me all these questions :))
Some questions are surprising and prepare me mentally when I get asked haha!
Also, great tips in "Just Don't" chapter on the latest topics to be careful about.

A great start!

Great questions! Using the suggested questions from this audiobook will set you off for a good start and make sure you cover every area you're interested in. Also found the section on what NOT to ask really useful. Your date will be grateful too! Great book.

Lots of good ideas here!

I love that the author considers practical conversation starters and also gives a bunch of no-go topics to save for future dates. Two thumbs up!
