Help me prepare for a first date so I'm not stuck on 'what do you do' and 'where are you from'. I want a bank of openers + follow-ups that build real connection fast.
DATE TYPE: {coffee / dinner / drinks / walk / activity}
DURATION I'M HOPING FOR: {1hr / 2hr / open-ended}
WHO I'M MEETING: {age + 2-line context from their profile or how we met}
MY DATING STYLE: {flirty / curious / nervous / dry-humor}
WHAT I WANT TO LEARN about them by the end: {what_kind_of_relationships_they_want / how_they_handle_friction / what_makes_them_come_alive / are_they_a_real_person}
WHAT I HATE talking about on dates: {politics / work / exes / future-kids-immediately}
GIVE ME:
1. **5 openers** that work in the first 5 minutes — not 'how was traffic'.
2. **8 follow-up questions** that beat 'cool, tell me more'. (Specific, curiosity-led, not interview-y.)
3. **3 'lightly playful' questions** that show personality.
4. **3 'go deeper' questions** for hour 2 — when they're starting to relax.
5. **3 questions I should NOT ask** even though dating articles suggest them (e.g. 'what's your love language' on date 1).
6. **A 1-line reset** if the conversation hits a dead patch.

This prompt is written for ChatGPT (GPT-4). It's a text/chat prompt — paste it into ChatGPT (GPT-4) (or compatible LLMs like Claude or GPT-4) to get the expected output.
1. Click the Copy button on this page to copy the full prompt. 2. Open ChatGPT (GPT-4). 3. Paste the prompt into a new conversation. 4. Replace any {placeholders} with your specifics, then send. Most prompts produce the right output on the first try; complex ones may need 1-2 iterations.
Yes — every prompt on mycopyprompt is free forever. No paywall, no signup wall for browsing or copying. You can use it for personal or commercial work, just don't redistribute the entire mycopyprompt library.
Absolutely — most prompts are templates. Look for {placeholders} (curly braces) and swap them with your own values. You can also reword sections, add constraints, or chain it with other prompts.
See the "Sample output" panel above — that's a real example of what ChatGPT (GPT-4) returns when this prompt runs. Your output will vary in wording but should follow the same structure and depth.

Don't ask:
Dead-patch reset: 'Wait, I want to circle back — you mentioned [thing they said earlier] earlier and I didn't ask about it.'
(Calling back to a detail from earlier is the most underrated dating move. It tells them: I was listening.)
