What would be the best time or day to post this sort of question?

I think I have a great idea about first date conversation starters, and I would like to get others' opinions on them. I think they can work for ages 14-64. If people think they are good, I will post a blog about it. Actually, it’s more of a funny “verbal game” you could play when you notice you are both nervous, and you can’t begin a conversation. I would go into it in more detail, but it will take quite a bit of typing as explanation.

So when, in your opinion, would be the best time or day of the week to post this sort of question so I get the most responses? I don’t want to have to just sit and wait until I see the questions pop up about “what to talk about on a first date,” even though I see those frequently.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    The problem I see is that you really aren't asking a "knowledge seeking" question; you are asking a verbal equivalent of "Am I pretty?" Remember, many "What do you think of . . . ?" type questions are chatting violations and that is the risk you will run if you post a "What do you think of these conversation starters?" question here, no matter the time of day.

    That said, the site tends to be busiest around 5:00 to 11:00 PM Eastern Time during the week, due to a large population concentration on the East Coast of the US posting as they get out of school, off work and ready for dinner or bed.
