First Date – What to Talk About

What to talk about on a first date I’ve written before about conversation starters for first dates (see What the Heck Do We Talk About?) but it seems to be something that EVERYONE has trouble with. So here are a few more questions to get the conversation rolling on your first date. Or, if you are using an online dating service, use these during your IM or phone conversations.

Ask questions that can’t be answered with a quick “Yes” or “No.” It’s also important to ask questions that will touch on subjects that are important to you. Only by really asking and actively listening to the responses will you learn enough about the other person to determine if there is real potential in the relationship.
