I'd list some of mine, but I don't ask any questions during dates (apart from 'what would you like to drink'). I just talk about whatever springs to mind and be sure to leave plenty of room for you to talk as well.

I find that just talking leads to much more interesting conversations than asking questions does.

We'll likely end up with a fairly balanced dialogue if you are the least bit interesting. If the night turned into a monologue about me, don't expect me to call you again.

(Theoretically, the night could also have turned into a monologue about you - but that has never happened to me yet)
