Coffee & ConversationSip, Relax, Talk
If you know someone already and if you enjoy people watching the silences won't be awkward. If you're getting to know someone, sitting for coffee or tea can usually involve sharing ideas, thoughts, and perspectives. Some common topics are love, family, relationships, politics, religion, current events, etc. Something better to talk about...My Dating Conversation page has some great ideas you can use.  In my opinion, most of the topics not on my dating conversation page are inappropriate for a first date or a date early on when you hardly know someone.My ideas on the first couple dates involve having fun and seeing what kind of attraction there is between you. I am much more likely to see someone again if there is a mutual attraction, and that has nothing to do with our opinions on politics, religion, or world events, with a few exceptions of course. If you get some nice weather you can sit outside and watch the world stroll by or talk about your favorite date ideas and start making a list. Oh, and be sure to come back and share them here so we can all enjoy them. Coffee and Conversation...So, what do you talk about while you're sitting there enjoying your coffee or tea? I have a list of topics that will keep you and your date on the right path... read Dating Conversation here. Don't forget these conversation tips...Listen as much as you talk If you're interested, show it by asking follow up questions to the things your date is sharing with you. There is nothing wrong with silence, and it doesn't have to be awkward on a date. If you are uncomfortable about silences or unsure how your date feels about it, bring it up in conversation. I would say something like, "Some people get uncomfortable with the so-called awkward silences on a date, but I feel like it's sometimes okay to just sit and enjoy each others company. How do you feel about it?". This prompts your date to share their feelings and getting this out in the open now takes the awkwardness out of it in advance. That's called nipping it in the bud and/or facing your fears. No matter what you call it, when you get this topic out in the open it takes some of the pressure off when it happens, and it will happen, and that's okay. Did you find this information useful?
