Conversation Starters For a Date

On a blind date, conversation can sometimes be frigid. When you meet a new person, it can be difficult to know where to start. Finding common interests, likes, dislikes, and hobbies will allow conversation to flow easily and smoothly. After this initial ice is broken, you will be able to decide if you have a “genuine interest” in this person. This initial awkwardness is only temporary, once you become more relaxed you can find plenty of things to talk about. Here are 5 very common interests that almost anyone will be able to discuss:

Conversation Starters:

1) Your Hobbies – if you and your date share a common interest or hobby, conversation will flow much more easy. There is no quicker way to create a bond between two people than the discussion of their favorite activities. A shared hobby like music or sports will allow you to connect to your date on a deeper level. Attraction between two people can accelerate quickly if you have alot to talk about.

- Also take note of a persons body language. You can see what your date is truly interested in, by observing their unconscious behavior .(Here is an article to help you understand body language on a date

2) Movies You’ve Seen Recently – Most people on the planet tend to watch movies or television on a regular basis. Talking about what movies you’ve seen recently, is a great way to open up more conversation. If you have similar taste in movies, it might pave the watch to a 2nd date.

3) Music You Listen To – Talking about music is a great conversation starter. You can discuss your favorite artists, what you listened to growing up, and if you play any instruments. Even if you like completely different types of music, it is still a great way to generate good flow of conversation.

4) Talk About Your Pets -  Most people have a pet or have grown up in a house with a pet. You can find out alot about a person through their views on their pets. For example, are they a responsible pet owner?, or could they care less about owning a dog or cat? This also may shed some light on whether or not they are the type of person that is interested in children. It can also show how empathetic they are towards other people or things. Many people have good memories of the pets they grew up with and would love to talk about them.

 Questionable Topics:

If you are determined to find a serious relationship, you might consider asking questions that pry into their value system. Subjects like religion, children, or future plans may turn some people off. But, that may be necessary if you are looking for a specific type of person. Difficult questions like these may set off a bad reaction, but it can also help you determine if you are truly compatible.

Conversations To Avoid:

Hot button political issues can be very divisive, and should be avoided at all costs on a first date. Political discussions can ruin a vibe on any fun date – quickly. Once you have established a rapport, you might be able to discuss them without much consequence. But, for the first few dates, avoid them like the plague.
