|
To unearth brilliant first date conversation ideas you need not delve deep into the human psyche and hunt for shining pearls of wisdom.
No my friend. Read on...
And you will be amazed at how simple it is to possess the much-envied 'gift of the gab'.
Starting a conversation with a person you are meeting for the very first time is a scary thing. Most people have the classic 'foot-in-mouth' experience.
Imagine meeting the guy of your dreams and saying NOTHING. He looks at you expectantly and smiles encouragingly. You smile back and try to look intelligent. Then you smile at him, and he smiles back.
Because your heart is beating heavy inside you, you can't think of a single scintillating remark. Sadly, the conversational ball is getting stuck in the nets.
What do you do?
If you can keep one small thought in mind, you will discover that these first date conversation ideas are just an application of common sense.
What does a man (or woman) like to talk most about?
HIMSELF, (or herself of course).
So, you need to latch on to something that will bring the other person out of his shell. DO NOT start off with "What do you do?" Save that for the third date or later.
Your first date conversation ideas should be bright enough to prompt your date to think for a bit. It helps if you have any specific information about your date.
If he likes football, ask him about his practice sessions. If she likes poetry, it'd sue be nice if you adore Shakespeare.
Girls love romance.
"Love" is first on their list of romantic words.
Ask them about places they love, things they love or any hobbies they love. If you are able to find anything of mutual interest then Walla! your first date is well on its way.
If you can tell a joke nicely, that's a great way to see if you like the way he or she laughs.
After all...
If your date cannot appreciate a good joke, it's good to know about it early on in your relationship.
A good joke (not the "X" -rated joke which would turn off most women) also helps to break the ice and brings on a real glow of warmth.
Guys generally love to talk politics. But, hey don't expect your girl to hang on to your every word when you declare the stupidity of some government policies etc.
No matter how close the subject is to your own heart, she may get rashes when she even thinks of politics.
NO!
Never talk politics with a girl, unless she is a journalist or is doing a major in Political Science.
The same applies to women...
Don't discuss your favorite recipes, hairstyles, gardening tips etc. However, if your date loves these things too, well you got yourself a good catch. Go right ahead.
So, you still have not worked out some great first date conversation ideas? Ok, for those of you who need specific ideas...
Here we go...
NEVER ask about the weather, previous relationships, family and weight issues. These are conversation killers. Use these only if your date has a bad case of cold or halitosis.
Try these instead...
Ø "What did you do last weekend?", " What will you do next weekend?"
Ø "Have you ever been to…?"
Ø "Did you read any books recently?" (Try this only if you have some fair knowledge of books, literature or such. Otherwise, you will nod off soon.
Ø "Do you like ice-cream?" or some other favorite.
Once the words start to flow, you know that the research you put into fantastic first date conversation ideas has paid off.
She may look at you with a sparkle in her eyes and laughter in her voice. He may look at your eyes instead of other places and laugh out loud. The ice is broken and it's time to dream about good times that lie ahead.
