Dating Conversation

Don't Be Lame - Here Is What You Should and Shouldn't Say and Share On A Date

Dating conversation, what to talk about, can be as simple as looking around you or opening a newspaper and you'll have plenty of the same old things to talk about. Current events, the weather, the service at the restaurant, etc. If you want to move beyond the same old topics, keep reading...

Rule number one is to keep it positive and upbeat. I'm not into complaining (or listening to people complain) about work, the weather, school, their ex, current events, home life, the government, the service at the restaurant, the economy, religion, or whatever negative thing the so-called news is reporting at the moment.

I like to laugh, I like to share good things I experience, and I would rather just let go of the negative and stay focused on the good stuff.

Romantic Date Idea

It serves no good purpose to whine and moan about what you don't like, especially in a dating conversation. It does you and them no good if this is what you bring to the dating conversation.

Sometimes some people need to vent. Sometimes, some people. A date is not the time or the place for it, especially early on when you are just starting to know each other.

I've looked around at the different things people say are good dating conversation. Some I agree with, but most of it goes completely against the truth that you get what you focus on, good or bad.

If you spend your date sharing something good about yourself and listening to your date share something good about themselves, how can you not enjoy that? The answer is, you will enjoy that!

What to say, what to share...

With an understanding that you generally get what you focus on, here is a list of dating conversation questions that will allow you to focus on and share something good about yourself.

Use these questions as ideas for what to share, or you can ask them and prompt your date to share with you...

• Do you have any hobbies?

• Do you have any collections?

• What do you like most about this area?

• What kind of books do you like to read?

• What kind of movies do you enjoy?

• If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

• If you could have any job in the world, what would you do?

• Do you play any musical instruments?

• Where is the most interesting place you've ever visited or vacationed?

• What are your favorite TV shows?

• What kind of music do you like?

• Do you have any pets?

• If you could travel anywhere, what places you would like to visit?

• What's your favorite food?

• What are you really good at?

Don't get confused with these questions and start listing things you can't do or don't like thinking that is the same thing. What you don't like is not the same thing as what you do like.

If you like romantic comedy movies but don't like horror films, when someone asks "what kind of movies do you like?" your answer is romantic comedies. You can give examples of your favorites. You can talk about why you like them. What you don't want to do is change direction and say "I don't like horror movies and..."

What you like is positive.

What you don't like is negative.
