I'm not a great conversationalist, any suggestions would be helpful. I'm knowledgeable sports, my business and hobbiesbut I always feel those topics could be boring to women.
Thank you.

Saturday night I had dinner with a woman I met online. We talked about our jobs and she talked about the lousy job some guy she paid to put a new roof on her house did. Had a nice time. Too bad I'm not handy so I can't go over and fix her roof!

Here is a sure way to get through the first date and seem like a wonderful listener.
The trick is to ask her all the questions and let her do all the talking. She will think you are wonderful!
Sample questions:
1) Have you seen the movie (fill in the blank)? What did you think about it?
2) What was the last book you read? Would you recommend it to someone else? Why?
3) What type of movies do you like? Why?
4) What type of activities do you like to do? Do you belong to any clubs or organizations?

If she finds your life boring, then you know she's not for you. Try to go out with someone you already have something in common with. Perhaps someone you've met through an organization or your hobbies.
I found myself back on the dating scene too after quite a few years. But usually the guys I dated had kids, and we would talk about our kids and that I was fixing up an old house, or that he was a motorcycle enthusiast, etc.
Dating is a way to get to know each other, and it's important to talk about yourself and her.
Good luck!! I know it's not easy!

I met my fiance at 47 years of age. Like yourself was not use to today's dating scene. We spoke on many subjects I remember that first day and mostly discussed our pasts. Day went by fast and it's surpising how much information you'll share but just allow conversation to happen naturally and all will work out. Otherwise if you are bs'ing or not being yourself it will show through.

ask her questions about herself...favorite things, movies, books... where she's from, how many sibblings, school background, jobs,
NO - prior relationships, religion, politics... just save that for later. even if you agree, the 1st date isn't the time... it's uncomfortable to talk about that with someone new.
try to balance questions with answers ... one person shouldn't do all the talking.
