Spark A First Date Coversation
Has it been a few years or a couple of decades, since you’ve considered the idea of dating?
Before you head out the door on your first date – Remember these First Date
Conversation Starters, to enhance your chances of a successful “first time”!
For most Baby Boomers, hitting the dating scene can be a little nerve
racking, if not a nail biting event.
The first thing to remember, dating is suppose to fun, exciting and
interesting.
Dating is all about finding chemistry and compatibility with someone else.
If you are a single Baby Boomer, it’s most likely the person you are meeting
is fairly new to the dating game in the second half of life as well, so
relax!
The conversation is probably the most important part of your first date.
First date conversation starters can be quite easy, IF you stay away from
those controversial “taboo” subjects, and play it safe! At least on your
first date.
Hot First Date Topics To AVOID
•Keep Sex Out Of The Conversation – I’m sure this one shouldn’t be too
hard to tackle. As most of you looking for a life time companion, wouldn’t
jump into bed after the first date.
•Religion & Politics – This hasn’t changed from the dating rules of 30
years ago. It wasn’t good then, and it certainly isn’t good now.
•Dollars & Cents Questions – Man or woman, you never want to come across
as a “gold digger”. Your intention should be, connecting with a compatible
person, not what they have.
•Never Ask Anyone’s Age – I know this isn’t a new revelation. Things
haven’t changed over the years. I myself never like to divulge my age.
Especially since many people think I look younger than I am.
Besides, does it really matter how old someone is? As long as two people are
compatible, what’s age … you’re right, it’s only a number.
Hot Topics For First Date Discussion
•Travel – This is always a safe bet. Ask your date where their favorite
travel destination is. Why they love it so much, where they stayed and where
is the next spot they are wanting to visit.
This question could end up being the conversation of the evening! Possibly
you’ll discover you both have a common love for travel.
•Ask About His/Her Family – This says a lot about a person. A person’s
character shines through with the words they use to talk about their family.
•Ask About Children – This topic I should have moved up to the number one
spot, as it’s very close to my heart.
I knew I didn’t want to be involved with a man that was still raising kids.
I was well passed the “rearing” of my kids, let alone someone else’s
children.
•Passions & Interests – This is a great first date conversation topic! You
can quickly find out if he/she has interests other than watching the “boob
tube”(television) everyday.
If you are an outgoing person, you need to know this up front.
•Ask Open Ended Questions – If your date is a little on the shy side, it’s
easy for them to answer “yes” and “no” questions. Ask questions, that need
some type of response …. example: What do you like to do in your free
time?
There you have it! This doesn’t seem too difficult does it?
A few first date conversation starters you want to AVOID, and the safe ones
to enhance your chances of a successful date.
