It’s perfectly normal to be a little nervous on the first date, but that’s no reason not to have a memorable night together. In fact, talking often helps ease you into a more mellow mood and helps you get to know your guy even better.
Here are a few ideas about what to talk about on the first date:
Music:
Talk about you favorite album, band, current song. Let him know what you like on your Ipod. Ask him about his favorites.
Food:
Talk about your favorite restaurant. Where did you have your best meal ever? Do you like to cook? Find out if he knows his way around the kitchen.
Travel:
Where have you been? What did you love about it? Would you go back? Share your best travel stories and ask about his adventures.
Keep the conversation light and fun. It’s probably best to avoid too much talk about work, family, or politics this early in the dating game, but you can always just cover the basics to get to know each other better.
