Dating Questions

Ok, this was actually an interview question, but it's too funny not to share.

A coworker told me that she always has a list of questions with her when she's on a date. She'll pull them out as conversation starters (kind of like a book I have that contains conversation topics that my ex used to pull out on date night back in the early-2000s so that we talked about new topics and ideas, and I didn't keep repeating myself telling the same stupid and boring stories).

Why am I telling you all this? She emailed me her list of questions, and it is so freaking adorably HER. I cannot imagine pulling this list out on a date (let alone pulling out the list of questions to fall in love over that was making the rounds earlier this year), but I can totally and completely see her doing this.

So, would you bring these questions on a date? Or better yet, would you take them to dinner with your parents?
