What topics must a couple address on a first date? part 2.
6. Have a dialogue about travelling
In relation to hobbies, would you describe yourself as a traveller? Do you intend to go to Greece someday? Have you lately visited Hawaii? Because it allows you to relate your travel experiences (both positive and negative), be honest about destinations you'd like to visit in the future, and identify any potential compatibilities, talking about travel is a top first-date topic. By talking openly about your dream vacations and preferred travel destinations, you and your partner will get a better understanding of one other's interests and hobbies.
To help you get started, consider these subjects:
- Where are some of the places on your vacation wish list?
- Have you ever had a memorable vacation experience?
- What do you think of flying?
Do you desire to live abroad or have you ever done so?
7. Discuss the Music You Enjoy Most
It's clear that talking about someone's favourite music on a first date is a terrific way to get to know them better. While it's possible that you and your date share similar musical tastes and may even have attended similar concerts or festivals, you can also broaden your own musical horizons as you get to know your date's favourite musical genres and artists. On a first date, you might ask for recommendations for new bands, and talking about concerts and music can strengthen your relationship. You can discuss the best (and worst) performances you've ever attended or the many musicians you'd most like to see perform live.
Several of our preferred topics of conversation are:
What was the best live music performance you have ever attended?
Are you fond of creating playlists?
Which musician or musical style, in your opinion, best captures your musical personality?
Do you enjoy attending music festivals?
8. Talk About Your Goals
In five years, where do you see yourself? 10 years from now, perhaps? Being open and honest with someone on a first date can be a terrific approach to get to know them better when it comes to these major life topics. The idea is to communicate your ambitions, whether it's mastering French cookery or learning how to play the guitar, since this can help your date understand more about your hobbies and priorities. Your goals don't have to be strictly career-related.
Asking "What's an accomplishment you're proud of?" will help you get off to a good start. Or, be direct by asking, "What's your dream job?"
9. Discuss food
Talking about food can be a fantastic approach to prepare the ground (or set the table) for a second date because first dates don't often feature food. You and your date can talk about the best places to eat in town as well as the best meal you've ever had as you share your favourite eateries, cuisines, and bakeries. Here's a fantastic opening: "I'm searching for some fresh eateries in the neighbourhood to check out for a business dinner next week. Have you have any recommendations?
10. Maintain interest.
If casual conversation annoys you, think about asking more imaginative questions. For better or worse, you might learn more about them than you had anticipated. Be sure, however, to restrict your inquiries to those to which you are really curious. These often ask more open-ended inquiries that deviate from the standard format.
Some of our favourites are listed here:
- What are some of the simple things that always brighten your day?
- Which day, if any, would you choose to relive?
- Who or what makes you laugh?
- What were the strangest behaviours and oddities you had when you were a child?
- What aspect of your bedroom most describes or personifies you?
- What is one trait you wish you possessed?
11. Knowing when to call it
An awkward match cannot be saved by the best first-date questions or the most perfect timing. After skillfully presenting those questions, you'll probably be able to tell if the chemistry isn't there.You might try again with an open question or quietly end the conversation if things aren't going well but you still feel uncomfortable or are unsure how to fill the silences. End the evening politely by saying something along the lines of, "I need to get up early because I have a fairly hard day tomorrow. Shall we get the bill?" or "I had no idea it was already so late! I should be returning shortly because I told my flatmate we'd get dessert.
Similarly, if things are going really well, you can decide to extend the date or end it on a high note. "There's a really cool pub around the corner," continue the good vibes. Would you like to switch scenes and take a look? or "Should we order another drink or should we split the tab?" Try asking a slightly leading question like, "How's the rest of your workweek looking? " if you'd prefer to call it a night and arrange another date. Have you got any enjoyable weekend plans?
