Conversation Starters for the First Date

You've even given thought to what you will wear when you ask attractive women out face to face, knowing that you only ever get one chance to make a first impression. Fast forward a week from now: She has happily agreed to meet for a Friday night dinner and you're in the shower imagining how the evening will go, naturally hoping for the best. So while pondering how beautiful she will look in the glow of the candlelight and look forward to the culinary indulgences, also start thinking about some dialogue that will actually captivate her? Conversation starters and set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Yes, as shocking as this may seem, a person is expected to exchange dialogue and while it's nice to keep it light and airy, that person will want to exhibit that there is some substance behind the wit. So which conversation starters will be used and what will be talked about? Attractive women have heard it all. This certainly isn't anything to obsess over, but have a few first date ideas in your head and then, depending on the way the evening goes, adjust your approach accordingly. Here are just a few conversation starters: Inquire about the kind of work she does? If it's known what she does, but haven't a clue what it means, do a quick internet search for a brief overview on how she spends her time at work.

If a person is not the type that typically spends his time checking in on the latest happenings on CNN or stays up late falling asleep to FoxNews, they may want to get brought up to speed on current events, as these are always great conversation starters. Not that one needs to be a political expert or know exactly what is going on in the front lines in Iraq, but be armed with some basic information if someone is the type that usually wanders about the earth oblivious to the social plight of the human race. You certainly don't want to get into a situation where you are debating political issues over a crème brulee, but also don't want to come off as clueless either. The important thing is to not pretend to be knowledgeable about topics one is not well-versed in; you will be backed into an uncomfortable corner and chances are, there will be no second date with this or any other attractive women. There is one shot at a first date so use conversations starters that can actually be intelligently talked about.

Just as important as coming up with a few conversation starters is remembering to be a good listener. Always listen to what she says, develop questions that will provide more information within her answers. In doing so, any attractive women will know someone is not only engaged in the discussion, but interested in her as a person. Above all, remember to be yourself, have fun, and with a small bit of luck the conversation will readily flow and a first date may turn into a lot more.
