Date help conversation topics

Here we will look at appropriate and inappropriate conversation topics for dates. This free dating advice will improve your dates and your dating results.

The weather

No no no! Save this one for people at work and your family. For a date it's way too boring. Our  free dating advice is to steer clear.

How great you are

This one is both a yes and a no. While no one likes someone who brags too much, when you're trying to make a good impression it doesn't hurt to communicate that you're a cool person. The key is to do it subtly, by talking about things that convey this in more of a peripheral way.

Your job

Our free dating advice here is to leave this one alone, unless you are lucky enough to have a particularly interesting job. It's very likely that yours isn't, so the safest thing is to keep any talk about work very brief, and change the subject to something more interesting.

Things you don't like

It's very important when you are meeting new people to try to avoid negativity. Hearing someone talk about things they like is generally pleasant whether you agree with them or not. Hearing someone talk about things they don't like is generally unpleasant unless you violently agree with them, and the chances of that will be slim.

By the same token, it's very important not to be disagreeable. Rightly or wrongly, people hate being disagreed with, and they won't usually tolerate it from people they don't know that well. Keep things light, fun, and upbeat, and if the person you are with says something you don't agree with, just try to change the topic. Really, our free dating advice is that the only time to try to change someone's mind is when you already know them well.

Funny stories about yourself

Alright, this is not really a conversation topic (more of a monologue topic), but it's such important free dating advice that it bears mentioning here. One of the most important things to do on a date is to convey to someone who doesn't know you well what a funny, likeable, great person you are. One of the best ways to do this is to tell a funny story about something that happened or something you did. Ideally the story should be humorous, and should serve to subtly highlight that you have a fun life and a lot of interesting, cool people know you and like you. Now, if you thinking that you won't be able to do this because you're not one of those 'story-telling' people, stop and rethink. Actually, anyone can tell a good story, they just need to practice. Unnatural though it may sound, most people need to come up with these kind of funny stories ahead of time, and even practice them, or at least plan in their mind how it will go. Give it a try!

Finally

While this free dating advice article will give you some ideas of what are good and bad date conversation topics, the truth is really that most subjects can be good conversation, if they are approached in a fun, light, positive way.
