Finding conversation starters on a new date can be troublesome. You don’t want there to be a lag in the conversation. This continues to be important even after the first date. It’s a good idea to have some interesting topics in case the conversation starts to dwindle.
Music and Movies
These are always safe topics, but they can get boring pretty fast. To keep it interesting, refrain from the standard ‘what’s your favorite’ question. Instead, focus on specific aspects. Talk about your favorite feel good movies, the best guilty pleasure films you enjoy, and even the indie films that spoke to you. The same goes for music. Talk about different qualities you enjoy, swap your favorite songs with cow bells, etc. Keep it light and fun and you won’t have any problems.
Light Hearted Memories
Don’t get too deep with this, but you can share stories about favorite times from years past. Talk about your favorite winter sweater, and why it is. Funny family stories that you don’t thing will offend, and other things from the past that can be interesting. Avoid talking about anything emotional or potentially offensive.
Hobbies
Do you have hobbies that some may find unique? Play an instrument like the didgeridoo? These are great conversation ideas for dates. They reveal a little something about you, show some of your endearing quirks, and open the door for more conversation later on. Talk about any clubs or sports you are involved in, crafts you create, or movements you helped form. Just try to steer clear of religious or political discussions because these can lead to awkward moments and disagreements.

Questions to Ask on a First Date

First dates are designed to help you determine if there is enough chemistry to pursue a deeper relationship. It won’t help if you can’t think of anything to talk about. Even if you do find some conversation topics, you want to know a little more about that person by the time the date is over. Here are some simple questions you should try to casually ask on a first date.
Ambitions and Goals
If you are content where you are, there is no point in dating someone who wants to move to another country and start a business. It’s a good idea to find out these details on the first date. Of course, there is a difference between a dream and a plan, so keep this in mind.
Career
You don’t need to dig in and find out how much money they bring home, but finding out what kind of career path they are on can help you determine compatibility. If you want someone who is stable but they keep flopping between jobs, this could be a sign that they aren’t ready for this responsibility. Also remember that many career paths will lead to people working at a variety of different places, so job hoPping isn’t always a bad sign if they stay in the same line of work.
Relationship Goals
If you are looking for people to casually date until you know for sure you’ve met the right person, and the person you are on a date with wants to settle down right away, you aren’t a good match. You don’t need to ask a million questions about kids and marriage, but get a general idea of where they want this to go. They will appreciate knowing what you are looking for as well.
