Master the art of small talk and spark real chemistry at DateDice Toronto
You’ve signed up for a DateDice speed dating night in Toronto, you’re feeling confident — but as you sit down for your first 5-minute date, your mind goes blank.
Don’t worry — it happens to everyone! The secret isn’t to say the perfect thing; it’s to ask the right questions. At DateDice, we believe that genuine curiosity leads to genuine connection. Here are 10 conversation starters that keep the flow fun, flirty, and authentic.
🎲 1. “What brought you to DateDice tonight?”
Simple, open, and personal. This question instantly breaks the ice and gives you insight into what they’re looking for — fun, friends, or something serious.
☕ 2. “If we weren’t here, where would you be right now?”
This playful question lets you peek into their world. Are they a Netflix-at-home type or a social butterfly who loves the Toronto nightlife?
🎶 3. “What’s your go-to song when you’re getting ready for a night out?”
Music reveals personality — and shared music taste is a great bonding point. Bonus points if you both love the same artist!
🧳 4. “If you could take a weekend trip anywhere in Canada, where would you go?”
Travel talk sparks imagination and emotion. Whether they dream of Niagara wineries or Banff mountains, it helps you connect over shared experiences.
🍣 5. “What’s your favourite Toronto restaurant or hidden gem?”
Perfect for local connection! If sparks fly, this question could even lead to a follow-up date suggestion.
😂 6. “What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?”
A lighthearted question that opens the door for fun stories — and shows whether they like adventure or prefer to plan.
🧠 7. “What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn or try?”
This shows you’re interested in their goals and growth — a great way to shift from small talk to meaningful conversation.
🐶 8. “Are you more of a dog person or cat person?”
It’s simple, cute, and gets people smiling. You’d be surprised how much personality comes out from this question alone.
🍸 9. “What’s your ideal Friday night?”
This one’s golden. It helps you quickly gauge lifestyle compatibility while keeping the tone casual.
💞 10. “What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?”
A positive, confidence-boosting question that lets your date share something personal without being too deep. It’s a guaranteed mood-lifter.
