First Date Conversation Topics

First dates are very nerve wracking experience if you are one is not quite experienced in dating. Therefore, knowing exactly which topics to cover without delving too deep into anyone's personal life is essential to perhaps landing a second date.

1. HIS /HER PAST - avoid this topic at all costs, it just puts a damper on the date. The purpose of the first date is to see how you gel together at first glance. That is a topics for future dates, preferrably by between date 6 and 10.

2.  FAMILY - This is a favorable topic because it gives you a little background on each other, and for the most people enjoy talking about their families - that is if they are close and no conflicts exist.

3.  FREE/ FUN TIMES - People just enjoy speaking about what they love to do for fun. whether that is hanging out with your friends, enjoying a good laugh at the comic strip, sightseeing, visiting new cities etc. Covering this topic gives each party pertinent information on where to go or what to do on any upcoming dates.

4. WORK - Provided that we are happy with our jobs, talking about it is something that a great number of us enjoy devulging information on...It gives you pertinent information as to whether this person is career oriented or just someone who goes to work everyday and is happy with that. Nothing wrong with that, but you are not that type of person, you would probably choose to forgo the next day since we tend to want to associate ourselves with people who in some way or another are like us.

5. NATIONALITY - This topic should actually be ranked # 1. This can even be used as a pick up lines to gain the interest of the person in having a conversation with you. Again, people tend to enjoy talking about themselves, especially if they are proud of where they are from.
