Good topics of conversation for a first date.

Posted by Peter Brady on Sat 5th May 2007 at 02:43 AM, Filed in Tips For First Dates

The most common question I am asked by singles on the dating scene is what topics of conversation should be raised on a first date.

This is in fact the first problem – you’re thinking too much about the date and therefore you won’t find yourself relaxing and enjoying it so much. YES, you should have an idea about things you want to know about them as well as what you are prepared to share early on, but don’t script the date as you will come across unnatural.

Who knows what they are like and what they may want to talk to you about so don’t worry about it, you’ll only end up coming away kicking yourself and wishing you asked about this and that! You will either get o with them or you won’t and a scripted date almost always ends in disaster.

However, here are some topics you may want to raise on the first date as you will more than likely share them in common and both share opinions, so less likely to dry up:

Hobbies
Job and ambitions
Music
Trips and holiday experiences
Food & cooking
Education

Avoid at all costs:

Family detail
Ex’s
Anything they are cagey about (work etc)
Politics
Sex
Emotions
