Despite unhinged, yet important hygiene questions like “Do you wash your hands after using the restroom,” the thread had quite a few mature moments. Immediately, I questioned: “Are the girls on Twitter… maturing?” F-ck if we know, but keep scrolling for the thread’s best — ahem, healthiest — moments you should use on your next first date.

1. What’s your idea of happiness?

2. What’s your view of gender roles?

3. Who’s your role model? Who taught you how to be a man/woman?

4. What are your pet peeves?

5. How do you navigate moments where you’re stressed? How do you talk to yourself when you feel down?

6. What does emotional safety look like to you?
