First Date Conversation Ideas
It is usually advised to avoid any hot politic topics, a first date is no place for opinionated debate; try to avoid sob stories of your youth, job, divorce.
It is commonly known fact that when we are being positive, we become much more attractive a person. Bear this in mind. If the date is going well, then conversation will flow naturally.
First Date Conversations
However, if conversation really does dry up, and to break those awkward silences here are a few fail safe questions:
- The majority of people love to travel, see a foreign place with different people and new cultures that offer novel experiences.
- Ask your date where they have visited what they enjoyed most about where they went. Don’t be stumped if they say they have never travelled, instead ask them where they dream of visiting.
- Do you have any brothers or sisters? A safe topic of conversation is asking about siblings.
- Brothers and sisters can usually lead on to the harmless ground of discussing childhood incidents; it also shows a caring family side
- Hobbies, you could develop and exchange stories of past times you may have already discovered which are shared between you.
Don’t be afraid to discuss things that you have already spoken about on our forum. If you can demonstrate that you can remember some small details about an event which the other person has described then it could be a big bonus.

Conversations will flow from topic to topic once you find something you are both interested in, so don’t worry about having a set list of questions. These above will just give you a helping hand if you need it. But try not to plan too much seeing where the date takes you can often be one of the most exhilarating part.
If the date is going well, positive body language, and obvious chemistry, then there is one topic that could be broached. “So where are we going next time?” said with a cheeky smile can often lead to another meeting.
Do only try this if the date has been a success, otherwise you run the risk of looking like a stalker!
