Preparing for Date Talk
We put so much emphasis on having good conversations that we actually wind up creating problems for ourselves. Here are some important dating conversations tips and topics to be prepared to talk about and bring up.
Who are they and what are they looking for? It is one of the most important topics and questions yet many people still forget to ask it. A simple “what are you looking for” question will lead into a long lasting conversation and you can find out plenty about your date. Asking questions about who they are such as their favorite hobbies, sports, music, and so on will make even more conversations and can even open an opportunity to find something in common between you and them.
Talk about yourself too. Besides asking questions the entire date, tell a little bit about yourself. If you ask too many questions, your date will feel interviewed and will destroy the dating atmosphere. Dating is more than just meeting “the one”, you are having fun going out with someone. Learn about tem and let them learn about who you are. A date that is in an interview format and engaged in constant question-answer-question dialog will get boring really fast. Tell a story about yourself, just remember to not talk about yourself the entire date.
Practice and develop a script. Prepare for the date. You should prepare a few things to say if the conversation goes silent, which it probably will at some point. That awkward silence where everyone is thinking about something to say can also destroy the mood and atmosphere during the date. Having this awkward silence will lead us to become nervous and feel that there is no chemistry. So expect the silence to come and prepare beforehand how you will handle it.
Preparation before a date is essential to make the most out of it. Even if you have nothing in common with your date and it is a complete disaster, try to make the best out of it and just be yourself. Enjoy the pleasure of dating and meeting someone new.
Im 25, I have been on dates before. I was just wondering if I should read a few magazines or news paper articles that I could talk about during the date. I have a hard time holding a convo for the entire date. I just need some pointers or tips. Thanks
Just be yourself, remeber you are not the only one who's on this date, there is going to be some one else there as well. Sometimes when we prepare too much for a date, we are so intent on saying what we planned on saying that it can sound like a meaningless ramble, where the other person feels like you are not listening to what they're saying, just thibnking about what YOU are going to say next while they talk.
Let the conversation come natuarlly, Ask you date stuff like where they come from, their family, what they do for fun etc, these kind of things always lead to more conversation, you might find something interesting to tlk about, or something in common. Find out what interests your date and let them talk about it. Listen to what they are saying rather than just think about what to say next. For example if your date likes mountain climbing, you could say (honestly) whether it's something that you like or don't know much about. you could ask about what are the best places, any dangerous experiences they've had etc... this will definitely lead to more conversation. good luck
Hummm ... take a shower. Brush your teeth. Definitely put on deodorant. Practice smiling. Think of some small talk that is somewhat interesting. If you know anyone who knows her then find out what she is interested in and do some brief research so you can talk about what interests her a little bit. Do something other than go out to eat ... that is cliche and you are forced to eat in front of someone you hardly know and make small talk with them staring dead at you! (Can you say uncomfortable?) Find something fun to do ~ that'll have you laughing a bit and ease the tension. Oh, and did I mention deodorant? lol...
Be clean, well dressed, polite, don't wear Birkenstalks (urgh one of my first worst dates did that), bring flowers as a nice gesture. Be polite. Be sweet. But be in charge. Make her feel at ease. Lead the conversation but ask her questions. Nothing's worse than dating a man who thinks he is his own best date. You know what I mean! And good luck and have fun!!!
Well besides getting ready! When you pick her up, take flowers! Roses would be sweet. Open the doors for her, she will feel like your on top of things and a gentleman. If you go out to eat, I personally love it when the guy orders for me! Make eye contact, try to stay relaxed. Because then you make her feel comfortable, and that is a plus! I wouldn't kiss on the first date, because that would make you look like you do that with all girls, like you easily give your self away. But totally hug! That is cute!
Lets start with the basics. To have a first date conversation you need to have something to talk about, so it is a good idea to keep up-to-date with the latest news and current affairs. You don't need to know about everything, but it is good to have a general idea of what is going on in the world, and if you can find a funny news story, even better.
Having a plan for your first date conversation might sound a little crazy, but it will help give you some confidence. Your first date conversation plan should be a loose idea of what you want to talk about and at what points during your first date. You should prepare for the beginning, middle and end of the first date. You may never actually even need the plan as everything might flow naturally, but again, prepare just in case.

People who don't do anything to prepare for a date, usually don't have much to say. If you would be more proactive about doing things around the house, read a magazine, watch a movie, or even watch the news. These are the thing you can draw off of to talk about during a date. Do nothing, and you have nothing to say!
a perfect date start on a perfect conversation..start the conversation naturally..ask question that have sense and interesting..just be your self..don't tell stories that is not true..it may give you date a bad impression on you..always remember that the 1st impression last...
