Little tricks to keep the conversation going on a date

Posted by Ruth Miller on Wed 15th August 2007 at 05:16 AM, Filed in Tips For First Dates

When on an early date it’s quite easy to dry up. I’m not talking about alcohol (but that helps), I’m talking conversation. Maybe they are boring or you don’t like them, but awkward silences really are awkward on a date!!!

Whatever you do don’t talk crap and babble a load of rubbish to keep it going for the sake of it – it’s a sign of nerves and is very unattractive to the opposite sex.

Try some of the following:
Ask some questions (see this post) that present some laughter opportunities. Questions that will get them chatty and more comfortable with the situation are great ice breakers.

Go for a walk. It may be the environment that is the problem, do something spontaneous like go for a quiet stroll (in a populated area of course). Physical movement will spur conversation and expend that nervous energy.

Talk about music. Everyone has an opinion and can talk forever about bands they’ve seen or their musical taste in general.
