What shouldn’t you discuss on a first date?
Politics.
Religion.
Ex partners!
Keep your discussions light on your first date. First dates are all about getting to know each other, so keeping the conversation light, open, and positive is key.
So what SHOULD you talk about?
Your hobbies- Talk about what you both enjoy doing in your free time. This could lead to finding common interests, like books, movies, or sports.
Travel- Share favourite places you’ve visited or places you’d like to go someday. It’s a fun, positive way to learn about each other’s experiences and dreams.
Your family- Lightly talk about family or pets if you feel comfortable. It’s a way to connect over personal details without going too deep too fast.
Work- Talk about your jobs, what you enjoy about them, or any big goals you have for the future. This shows a bit about your ambitions without going too deep.
Food- Share favorite restaurants, types of food, or any quirky food preferences. It’s a light topic and could lead to future date ideas.
Entertainment- Talk about recent movies, favorite shows, or music preferences. Entertainment is a relaxed way to share personal tastes.
Maybe share a funny or interesting story- Sharing a humorous story from the past can help break the ice and create a relaxed atmosphere.
Hopes and dreams- Not too deep—just sharing general life dreams or goals can be fun and give insight into each other’s personalities.
Nothing too intense (or boring!)
Just keep the conversation light & don’t dominate the conversation or be a bystander either. The goal is to enjoy each other’s company without getting too personal too fast.
50/50.
And don’t judge or make any final decisions.
It’s all about learning.
It’s all on the route to where you want to be.
Be polite- of course.
