1 INSPIRATION

What’s one book that changed your life?

Ask it because: What he reads literally speaks volumes about his outlook in life. “Successful people tend to be well-read,” says Violet Lim, CEO of Lunch click and co-founder of dating agency Lunch Actually. “Finding out what he reads, and how often he reads, can point to whether this man is looking towards self-improvement.” It’s a good way to find out if he has an ambitious streak.

2 INTERESTS

Which artiste in your playlist would you love to see live?

Ask it because: His answers will give you some headway into understanding what makes him tick, says Claire Certain, head of global trends and events for dating app Happen. How does the music make him feel? Why does he enjoy the genre? He throws up the name of an obscure band? Don’t fret. There’s no shame in admitting you’re clueless. See it as a chance to find out why this artiste gets his vote. Besides, his answers just beg for a follow-up, and that means you can prolong the conversation.
