Topics of conversation to avoid on a first date.

Posted by Hayden Allen-Vercoe on Mon 25th December 2006 at 05:13 AM, Filed in Tips For First Dates

I’ll shortly be going into detail about some of the most successful topics of conversation to discuss on a date, but in the meantime I thought I’d tell you what doesn’t go down… at all!

To be honest, the pressure is on you enough on a first date and the last thing you want to be doing is pulling out a notebook half way through the date and ticking off questions. Dates are there to enjoy yourself in someone else’s company, it’s not a job interview (although sometimes it feels like one!)

Anyway onto the NO NO subjects for conversation on a date:

Politics – boring, boring, boring. Hardly anyone cares, and if they do they are normally opinionated.

Racism – It’s a negative subject that, if really interests you, you should bring up on later dates.

Your Ex – Your date doesn’t want to know, and you shouldn’t want to pry about their love life either. Dating etiquette!

Sex – If you are on a date, it may be seen as too forward to launch into what position you prefer. Depends on the date!

Yourself – Go forth and find out about them. Be the first to engage what sort of person they are. Don’t focus conversation too much on yourself – you’ll look shallow.

Work – Although they will want to know what you do for a living, be careful no to turn it into a client presentation. You are out of work so do as people out of work do!

Your Problems – You are on a first date… do you want them to leave you thinking you are a complete nutta!? Keep your problems to yourself for the time being.
