17. 36 Questions to Fall in Love - Jimi's Date Night Questions
In this episode Jimi and Libby talk about talking.
But more than that, they discuss the list of 36 questions that can lead to love...or simply a deeper connection between two people.
Stemming from Libby’s ‘demands’ to be entertained by new, stimulating conversations, Jimi discovered a list of questions which has the sole purpose of creating sustained, escalating, reciprocal, personal, self disclosure. Or, as Jimi prefers to call it, vulnerability.
“The deeper we go with somebody the more we open ourselves up and the more vulnerable we are, the deeper the relationship goes.”
Ranging from interesting first-date questions, through to deep, personal reflections the list provides a unique opportunity to really get to know somebody on an intimate level over time.
As they delve into the increasing intimacy of the list Libby opens up about being an oversharer and how failing to establish mutual boundaries early on has been damaging to some of her past friendships.
They discuss the importance of maintaining eye-contact with people when talking to them and how this can strengthen a relationship whether it’s a personal or professional one.
Jimi also sets a challenge of looking into someone’s eyes for 4 minutes. Could you do it?
Also, would you like to know the exact date and cause of your death? And what does a perfect day look like to you?
