Well, while conversation and connection is important, it's also important to have a sense of mystery when it comes to a first date, and sometimes less is more. Nikhil's idea of success is one that tells us that the date has been so good and the connection so strong that both parties are too entranced by each other's presence to ask about the number of siblings. Plus, a first date is often an opportunity for two people to find out how compatible they are; if that knowledge can be revealed in a single question, what a waste of a first impression! UrRong; it's understandable to disagree with Nikhil's idea of success, but it's not necessarily wrong.
