You've done the hard work - you've approached someone and not only talked to them but secured both their telephone number and a date to boot. So now comes the finale - the date itself. There's a lot you can do to prepare, to help things run smoothly (and hopefully help you secure a second date).

Where to go on a first date
The first thing to think about is the best place to go. Lunch is a good option; it usually lasts between one and two hours and there's no pressure to stick around if things don't work out. If however, you're getting on swimmingly you can always go on somewhere else.
If choosing to go out for dinner then take care with the restaurant you choose as they often dim the lights and soften the music, which can then make it look like you're on a romantic date - before you've worked out if that's the way you'd like it to be.

Pre-date preparation
People are often panicked by awkward silences, but a little preparation goes a long way. By reading a couple of newspapers to brush-up on showbiz gossip and current affairs you will have plenty of material to keep your companion engaged. It might help to pick four or five interesting topics, jot them down and keep them handy. Nine times out of ten just knowing that they're there is enough - you'll probably find that you don't need them anyway.

Conversation on the date
To take the pressure off the date and to guarantee that the chat flows freely, you can prepare a loose plan of what you'd like to talk about. You'll probably find that you don't need it, but as any tightrope walker will admit, the experience is a lot more comfortable with a safety net.

So prepare yourself a conversational beginning, middle and an end:

For starters

You could ask questions about the menu, food or wine they enjoy, your journey there, their work, whether they enjoy it.

1)What shall we have to drink?
2)Do you fancy wine with the meal?
3)Let's check out the menu! Is there anything on the menu you haven't tried but have been curious about?
4)Where do you live? Did it take long to get here?
5) What sort of work do you do? Do you enjoy it?


Main course conversation
You could ask questions about hobbies, travel or anything they've mentioned previously that could be expanded on:

1)Do you have any hobbies?
2)Have you travelled much? Where have you been?
3)Are you going away this year?
4)What country would you most like to go to and why?

You could also throw in an offbeat question to lighten the mood, something like: "If you could cook for any three people from history, who would they be?". If this peps up the conversation, you could also ask: "What would you cook for them?".

And for dessert

At this point things will be coming to a climax, so if a second date has not been secured or has not come up, a good question to ask is:
What was the last film you saw? Anything on at the moment you would like to see? (and it doesn't matter if you've already seen it, simply say: "Oh I'd love to see that") And if they're interested they should say something along the lines of: "Well I am thinking of going to see it next week you are more than welcome to join me."
Don't worry too much about having to see the film again. The fact is you have secured a second date and when next week comes you can always say "I'm not in a cinema mood. Do you fancy going for a drink instead?"

Five tips for success
1)Have a few questions and conversation topics prepared in advance.
2)Listen to your date with genuine interest.
3)Ask questions - talk about the food you're eating, share the conversation.
4)Be positive and remember you're selling yourself on the first date.
5) And finally, you've worked hard to get this date so think happy and enjoy yourself!
Now put your dating skills to the test!

Answer 4

This is your boyfriend? Don't you know anything about one another? What music do you both like? What films do you want to see? What do you think of the films you have seen? What about your work, anything interesting happen there, or funny story. Is his work interesting? What type of things do you like doing? What type of things do you want to do? Where would you like to holiday, what type, sun/sand, adventure, exotic, quiet countryside where you can go walking? Are you interested in sports/dancing? Is he? Have you any secret thing you want to do before you are 25-30, flying lessons, scuba diving, swimming with dolphins/sharks. Does he have a secret wish? Get to know one another talk will come, if not then you have nothing in common except sex and that is fine for a while but it takes 2 to tango.

Answer 5

Honestly? If you find you always have nothing to talk about - maybe you should talk about that? How well do you know each other? How much do you know about this background and his family? How much does he know about yours?

If you're looking for good small topics to talk about, try talking about "most's" with him, like "most embarrassing moment," etc.

Answer 6

Being this in the fitness area, I suppose you could talk about sports, exercise, diets, fitness as a whole, etc.

If With time you have nothing to say to your bf, get another one where the relationship flows naturally.

Answer 7

I always believe that music and/or sports get people communicating whatever colour, race or creed. So, how about it? Between the two of you, there must be something that connects even if it's just Do - Re - Me.

Answer 8

Rape is whilst there is not any consent. they don't could be drugged. you are going to be raped everywhere by potential of all of us at any time. surely a date has a intense probability of rape happening on the grounds that's a guy and girls (oftentimes) on my own.

Answer 9

If you don't have anything to talk about why is he your boyfriend?

Talk about the usual stuff. It don't have to be rocket science or quantam physics because it is a date...

Answer 10

Months and days.
