#4 The typical questions

So it seems that the same questions get asked over and over again in the beginning of dating. I realize that its the best way to get to know someone but there has got to be a better way to ask them. For instance this is the way a typical email or conversation goes: "So tell me more about yourself. How old are you? Do you have any kids? Ever been married? What are you looking for? What do you like to do for fun? "

Ugh... I have memorized my responses.

I know these are critical things to know... but what about starting off with "what's your favorite book?" "if you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?", be interesting is all I am saying... let those other questions come out as they will. There should be a natural vibe when you talk to someone, and it's hard to have that when it starts out with the most boring conversation that has been had over and over again.
