You can start talking about very general stuff like weather or things like that and then continue with a ';by the way'; and go on talking. Remember that the conversation will lead to something nice if he cooperates.Any good tips on how to start a comversation on a first date?
Music, food, sports, personal interests. Ask questions about each other lives and usually you both will start telling interesting stories to each other. After you find something that you boht are into, stick to it and from then on your conversation will just flow.





I know it's hard to not think, but try not to think too much about what you are going to say before you say it. Just be genuine and speak spontaneously. It makes conversations so much more natural. Sometimes bringing up really random topics just makes thing more fun.





Try to stay away from controversial topics like politics, religion, and ex'es.
What do you like to do for entertainment. The date will ask you questions too. Be happy, smile, enjoy company. Since it is your first date not enough time to ask everything. Tell the person how you are feeling nervous. I am a little shy--so excuse me for not looking at you. Sports do you like them and what do you like. Think about yourself what are you looking for; look at the person is this what i like--the food is good.
be shy and let the guy do all the talking shy is cute and guys like that
the first date is the best, because you can be the most brutally honest and open without anything to lose, because you're only in square one. so just ask the first thing that comes to mind. don't be shy darl'n, just say whatever you want.
Hi Courtney,





You know, I think we put alot of needless pressure on ourselves when we meet others on a date for the first time. So many expectations on that occasion, you know?





I think it best to hold conversation with your date just as you would casually hold one with a good friend. The tendency is to try to overly-impress that person, and you needn't do that. The person that you are dating wants to see you for who you really are, not what you can portray.





You have had thousands of phone conversations with your friends, I'm sure. Even shy people come out once in awhile and get into full conversations. So why not approach it in a casual manner, and talk to him like you would one of your friends.





As the ice begins to crumble, you will find yourself to be more at ease, as well as him being at ease, because I'm quite sure he's as nervous as you are, if not more.





Relax, go have fun. Isn't that what dates are for?
Simple. Ask a question that cannot be answered with a yes or a no. It will work best if it's about something your date may be interested in. Good luck!!
