The first date is often the one chance for, if nothing else, a good meal. Hopefully, one of the added benefits is to gain insight as to who it is that is sitting across the table from me, and what about them besides that initial visual attraction, compels me to want to look deeper.
It's why on the first date I try to get a sampling of what matters most to me, in a relationship. Asking questions that matter, instead of making small talk that means not much at all.
I don't respect religion, though I know many Theists whom I do respect. So finding out if my date is someone I can respect as a person, who is not their faith, is what is important to me. If they're a Fundy type; judgmental, elitist, etc... I know that while I may still be sitting at the table, I've actually left well before dessert.
