Publisher's summary

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.

Ice Broken!

Sometimes it can be awkward meeting someone and not knowing where to start. This gives a few good starting points to get you going!

Dating Isn't as Scary as it Seems

Those first dates can be scary, no one likes a long uncomfortable silence...but after reading Swipe to Play I now have a plethora of open-ended conversation starters. I also want to be clear that thi is not just a boring list of questions- the commentary is entertaining and picturing follow up conversations made me actually laugh out loud several times.

There is an extremely wide array of topics offered up, but more importantly, a huge range of how serious a question may be. The reaction "tell me the most spontaneous thing you've ever done" will likely get a very different reaction than "describe the worst relationship you've ever had". *(These aren't actual questions from the book I'm giving away, JUST examples). This sort of variety is really important to find real chemistry. You can progressively move from silly ice-breakers to the more serious stuff where you really start to see a true-self being revealed. The book also emphasizes why "yes or no" questions are a quick journey to dreaded silence, all the open-ended questions have the potential to start a very long conversation. Success!

Give it a listen you won't regret it.
