Dating Conversation Topics - What to Avoid on the First Date

By: Carolyn Anderson

First dates are expected to be fun, exciting and with the atmosphere of just getting to know the other person better. It should not be a time to rigidly screen the other person if he is the perfect match for you, so it is important to carefully pick dating conversation topics that will not ruin the date.

Of course, who will not get excited with a first date? You have probably spent hours to do your hair, carefully select what dress you will be most attractive on, or tried on a different perfume. The guys probably spent a lot of time in front of the mirror. Then when you finally sit face to face on the dinner table, he would suddenly comment about the last time he and his ex-girlfriend visited that restaurant - that could be the end of it.

There are actually lots of things that you can talk about on the first date. You can talk about hobbies, about what happened during the day or you can feast on some issues about celebrities. Most often, it just takes a little common sense to know the good dating conversation topics, and those that are not really appropriate as well.

However, if you want to be reminded of this deadly dating conversation topics that should be avoided on your first date, you might want to refresh your memory on the no-no's on your first date.

The obvious topics that you should not bring up on your first date include racist comments or jokes, religion, politics (could be too serious and boring for a date), gruesome topics like rape, death or torture.

Of course, this should be first on the list. Do not start the evening by telling her about the last time you were in that restaurant with your ex. Forget about your past lovers. Do not think your date will be proud if you talk about who you went out with and how many.

Also avoid any discussions on sex. There are lots of things you can ask your date other than this. Also avoid telling your date about some problems at work or some financial problems you had. First dates are suppose to be fun. Do not also attempt to bring out topics about how much money one makes. You can ask about jobs but forget about probing into their pocketbooks.

Hobbies and interests are good dating conversation topics during the first date but do not anymore bring up topics that are understood only by a few people or those highly specialized topics like that latest version of computer games you had or that sci-fi movie.

Aside from the topics that you should avoid talking about on your first date, there are also things that you should avoid doing on the first date.

Saying 'I love you' on the first date could be a big turnoff. If you are a business-minded person, forget about selling your product to your date, and even if first dates are meant to be in a getting-to-know-you stage, do not talk too much about yourself and what you have achieved in life. In dating, it is important to listen as well.
