One of the biggest worries when people ask someone out is what to talk about on a first date. It’s actually not hard to keep conversation going and avoid those awkward moments when you guys are just staring at each other or just sitting quietly. Talking allows you to get to know a person better and that is important on a first date. Also, awkward moments may make them or you not want to go out again. Below are a couple of topics to make your first date great.
First I would love to mention the book First Date Magic, which will guarantee you a great date and leave your new date wanting more. Make sure your first date is perfect because, hey, it is the most important. This book is packed full of great ideas, great first date conversations, and some great advice. If you are really into this person you asked pick up this book. Make it count.
One of the best topics to talk about on a first date is music. Everyone and I mean everyone is into some kind of music. Everyone has something they like and they are willing to talk about it. It may turn out that both of you like the same music. I find that music is what brings a lot of couples closer together. You can also start to ask them how many CDs they have, or how many songs are on their iPod. Few people don’t like to talk about music, so this is definitely one of the best topics when wondering what to talk about on a first date.
Another great first date conversation topic is family. Ask your date how many people on in their family, what they do, how they are, etc. Ask them the funniest times they have ever had with their family, or cool, weird traditions that maybe only their family does. Most people have absolutely no problem talking about people in their family. This is basically an endless topic because there is just so much to talk about.
Pets are another great topic when you don’t know what to talk about on a first date. Pets are cute cuddling animals that everyone loves to talk about. Odds are if they have a pet they will have some kind of story to tell you. Maybe they will have multiple stories. You can also tell your own stories about your pets. If they don’t have a pet you can just move on to another conversation.
Talking about your favorite pastimes is something that almost everyone would like to talk about. Ask your date what their most favorite memory is, or what their most embarrassing moment was. Swapping stories can literally take up the entire date and you can really learn a lot about someone from them. I’m sure you will be also sharing few laughs because chances are some of their stories will be funny.
Politics is something that you can talk about on a first date, but try not to be too pushy about it. In today’s day in age almost everyone knows a thing or two about politics, so why not talk about it in a friendly matter. I can’t stress enough not to get too hardcore into it because it may cause your date to feel uncomfortable around you. So, only try this if you feel comfortable doing it, or just wait until a later date.
Congratulations, you just learned what to talk about on a first date. Now, use this information to go have the first date of your life and make it perfect. And, don’t forget to check out First Date Magic.
