What TO and What TO NOT talk about with a girl on your First date

She said yes (hold your horses, it’s just a date!)! Now what? Check out this list of conversation DO’s and DONT’s. Aside from your shoes, you would also want to impress them on how well you carry conversations because.. duhh.. who wants a boring date? So, let’s keep this intro short and off we go..

Avoid talking about these topics:

1. Politics

You are on a date and not in a debate, Lol, sorry had to laugh, as i was saying you are on a date and not in a debate so the conversation should be stress free. Politics is something you should talk with your uncle or as a teen you shouldn't even talk about unless you are the geeky type. Lol.

Even if you both support the same canditate, talking about politics is just way too heavy as a topic on a first date, i mean there are so many fun and cool things to talk about. I will come to that in a bit.


2. The Pope, Rabbi and Imam

Religious reliefs should not really be the focus of discussion of any dates. Unless you are dating Dan Brown, it's something you would like to bring up. And to be fair, i think even Dan brown will like a timeout about the religious talk.


3. Your Ex-Girlfriend

You shouldn't talk your Ex when you are on a date, even your friends won't tolerate this, ok this is just over exaggeration. Your friends will like to hear about your Ex but your date wont like that. It will make you look like a stalker and as if you haven't moved on cause 'there's no sense in dating someone new when you haven't gotten over the old person'. This is what comes to her mind. So if you want to talk about your Ex you should ask her over for jenga instead of a date.


4. Salary

Unless you’re talking about you bosses’ tax returns and how magnificent his new Malibu crib is, there’s absolutely no reason why you would need to snoop about how much she’s earning. Talking about money makes you look like an insecure and overly-competitive person. Finances are private matters that you don’t really share with someone you’re dating for a couple weeks. So this is not a good topic to talk about on a date.

Talk about these topics

1. City Dude or Rural Guy

Talking about hometowns and proud lineage will always be fun. It’s nice to know how people spent their childhood and feel nostalgic about the good-ol-days.

2. Dog or Cat Person?

Our fluffy and furry friends make the list of the best topics to talk about. Why? Simply because their furry and fluffy – what could go wrong? If you got a dog and she got one too, you may ask her if you can join on one of their walks. You guys can go on a double date! It does not get any awesome than that!

3. What does your Saturday look like?

Knowing her typical Saturday night (or morning) will give an idea on what type of dates you’ll follow through (considering if this works). If she’s into partying, then to the bars you go. If she’s into theatre, then you can volunteer to get the tickets for this weekend’s show.

4. What’s your group of friends like?

You better listen to the Spice Girls’ hit “Wannabe”. If you really like her, you have to win the friends too. Especially Tiffany, the BFF. Friends’ approval is vital when it comes to dating. Her circle would want someone who (1) good enough for their friend and of course someone who (2) they could also get along with. Take mental notes.

5. Cinema or Netflix?

It’s a modern way of asking if she likes to go out or would prefer to cuddle or curl at home instead. This is a good question so you’ll know whether to buy popcorn or have the Chinese restaurant phone number on speed dial.

So that’s it. But one thing you should remember is, the whole idea of dating really seems to be a tangled web and to be honest there isn’t really a perfected formula to ace it. But the good news is, if it’s already complicated as it is, why complicate it further? Just keep it simple and keep it true. Baby steps are the way to go. Giant leaps might take you further, but it might also take you to the dead end fast. Relax. Our main goal is to get to know her and for her to get to know you. You’re already awesome so no need to panic – just enjoy the rest of the night! Good luck, mate!
