First dates are an important part of the dating process which, when done successfully, can help you identify a compatible relationship partner. Here are some tips on what to say, and not say, on a first date:
Top 3 Best First Date Conversation Topics:
- Where are you from?: a classic 'ice breaker' question that is sure to get things off to a positive start and lead to other interesting conversational topics.
- What was the most fun thing you did this summer?: keeping your questions and the conversation positive is an important element of a first date.
- Tell an interesting travel story: talk about a fun trip that you have done recently, and ask your date partner about their favorite travel story.
- Past relationships: avoid delving into past relationships... there will be plenty of time for this at a later stage when you both know each other much better than on a first date.
- Why are you still single?: this is an awkward question that may put your date on the defensive... keep it positive.
- Are you interested in marriage/kids?: again, there will be plenty of time to discuss this in the future once you have connected, but not on a first date.
