What to talk about on a date.

In the early stages of dating and in no particular order here are some topic areas best kept off the agenda.

• Your/his ex boyfriend or girlfriend

• How much you hate your boss/job/friends/family/flatmate/neighbours/next doors dog etc

• What your therapist thinks or tells you to do

• How all men are losers

• How dating is completely soul destroying

• How you’ve never met anyone like him before.  No gushing about how great they are especially not in the beginning

• Anything to do with getting married or how you’ve already planned your wedding

• Children including how many you want and what you intend naming them

• Any affairs that your friends are having

• If you met via an online dating site then don’t talk about his profile or his pictures.  Remember you’re busy.  You’ve barely had time to glance at his profile.

• How you absolutely hate your body

• How life is totally unfair and how you always seem to attract drama

• How long it took you get ready and how you’ve been planning your outfit since last week

• How much you’ve been looking forward to meeting him.

Don’t worry these topics are only off the list during the initial courtship phase.  You have the rest of your life to tell him about how your family suck and how you spend three hours getting ready for your first date.

In the meantime here are some topics you can talk about.

• The dismal UK summer.  Honestly is it going to rain all summer?

• The Olympics

• Music

• Concerts

• Books

• Plays

• Comedy shows and your favourite comedians

• Theatre shows

• TV programmes

• Actors and actresses

• Sport

• Hobbies and pastimes

• How tomatoes are actually a fruit

• Travelling
• Holidays
• Local places of interest

• How awesome aubergines are with goats cheese.  They’re yummy if you grill the aubergines first and then let the cheese melt on top.

Ok I think you get the idea.  Now get out there and give it some dating action.
