What to talk about on a first date: for new couples

Starting a conversation on a first date can be a little nerve-wracking, but good conversation can keep things spontaneous and fun. By having a mix of light and deep questions, you can have a great conversation. Here are some tips and conversation topics that can help you:

 

### 1. Start light
- **Weather or place**: "It's so nice here!" or "Have you ever been here before?"
- **Common interests**: If you met through an app, ask about the hobbies listed there. For example, "What movies do you like to watch?" or "Are you fond of traveling?"

### 2. Learn about their interests
- **Hobbies**: "What hobbies do you enjoy in your free time?" or "Anything new that you've started recently?"
- **Music and books**: "What's your favorite music?" or "What's the last book you read?"

- **Favorite Movies and Shows**: "Any movie or series that you want to watch again and again?"

### 3. Talk about career and dreams

- **Career interests**: "What do you like most about your work?" or "Is there anything that you would like to do in the future?"

- **Dreams and goals**: "If everything were possible, where would you like to see yourself in the next 5 years?"

### 4. Travel and experiences

- **Travel stories**: "What is the most interesting place you have ever been to?" or "Any plans to travel somewhere?"

- **Culture and food**: "Is there any dish that you have always wanted to try?" or "What kind of food do you like the most?"

### 5. Light-hearted fun questions

- **A little humor**: "If you could have a superpower, what would it be?" or "Do you have any weird phobias?"

- **Funny experiences**: "What's the weirdest dating experience you've ever had?" (if the situation is light and it feels okay to ask)

### 6. Move on to deeper, more personal questions

- **Family and friends**: "Who is your closest friend in your family?" or "What's your most memorable moment with friends?"

- **Values ​​and beliefs**: "Is there a mantra you follow in your life?"

### 7. Things to remember

- **Listening is more important**: Respond to every answer and show interest in what they have to say.

- **Keep it natural**: Try to keep the conversation comfortable and natural.

- **Maintain personal space**: Discuss any sensitive or personal topic only when the other person feels comfortable.

The purpose of a first date is to find out if there's a connection between the two of you. So just keep yourself relaxed and make your conversation fun.
