If you will note the title was for the "best question" and my comment referred to "good questions", there are lots of bad questions, but the acceptable questions are the ones that come up naturally in conversation. Questions that are planed ahead will just lead to stiff and unnatural conversation. If you go on a date with a list of questions in your pocket, there is unlikely to be a second date, or sex on the first.

There are also things that you shouldn't say on a first date, or early in the relationship. I was dating a woman right after I had separated from my first wife, and she made the comment that she evaluates every man she dates as husband material. That was like waving a red flag at me. and some time later I called the relationship off. I now realize that I could have been happily married to her, but for that unfortunate comment at that time.
