First dates are extremely exciting but can be nerve recking as well. We meet a new person to understand compatibility and get comfortable. Here are some fun topics that you can choose to discuss on your first date to break the ice and have an engaging conversation.
Open up about your life in general
Your childhood is the most intimate and fun time and it can be a great way to break the ice as well. As you share your childhood events with each other, you bond in the process. Where are you from, what’s your family like, how was your childhood, which school and city did you live in? All of these areas can unearth common areas and also let you know each other well.
Understand each other’s hobbies
This includes understanding each other’s passions, hobbies, and aspirations. When you get to know these areas, you either find a common area of interest or get to appreciate each other’s varied interests and aspirations. By talking about your passion or aspirations, you open up to your date and also let them get comfortable sharing their values and vision about life.
Discuss your music preference
We all like music as it is a universal language that cuts across all types of barriers. You can share your favourite music genre, the brands you like, the concerts you attended or aspire to attend in near future. This also includes recommending music or making plans to visit a concert in near future together.
Talk about your favourite books, movies, or TV series
With the current popularity level of streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Audible, we all watch or listen to several movies, music, TV series, or books. When you share the kind of stuff you watch or read, you ignite a free-flowing conversation and also get to know each other’s personalities much better. You also get to know about more stuff that you would like to read or watch, in the process.
Discuss your travel or food preferences
When you talk about food preferences, it also opens up the possibilities to identify a place where you would like to meet next. Similarly, you can share your past travels and future preferences with each other; this includes sharing your travel experiences and identifying common preferences.
The whole idea of all of these pointers is to understand each other’s personalities and understand compatibility. Assuming that there will be a second date, it also makes you aware of each other’s likes and dislikes, and find a common ground.
