As I'm trying to evaluate my last romantic experience lots of questions pop up in my head.

So here goes the next one.

What are some good topics to discuss on a 1st date that maintain positive vibe and yet keep attraction without seeming to be too analytical or logical.

How do you think is it good to talk about:
my ex girlfriend/ her ex boy friend
my parents/ her parents job names
pets
favorite: movies, music, flowers, animals
sports (i like sports)
books (i rarely read novels)
games
childhood experiences
high school experiences
job, career, goals
dreams
cars, fashion, aromas


How do you think? What are the best topics to talk about, which are the ones MUST to avoid.

I think that til you keep her attention and attraction on you on you can speak about anything... The important is that you both have fun and enjoy the conversation

Yes true that, but aren't there some topics more preferable than others, like childhood experiences vs. ex girl/by friends ?

Actually how good or bad is it to ask for ex boy friend on the 1st date.

Does it conveys something for her ?

Or does speaking about my ex gf provokes jealousy in her, or is making her think I'm some sort of player.

It is useful to talk about exgf's when you want the target to qualify herself. if you talk about the things you appreciated about your ex, in a context that says how much you like those qualities in a girl. Dont bad mouth exgf's on date. EVER. Try to keep it short so it doesnt seem like you're missing her also.

You can pretty much talk about anything thats is not too serious. Avoid topics on politics, religion, and things that she may feel strongly about. Do talk about Justin bieber, beer, tv, the reasons why she's a dork.

O yea, i talked about why she is dork a lot.

Tanks for the insight. Justin Bieber is cool... to talk about as topic on 1st date.

Hey dude I wouldn't go in with a shopping list of topics. Maybe one or two (i.e. how was your day, seen any good movies) and then let the conversation flow naturally. Remember she is just as anxious as you. The key is your attitude/mood. Concentrate on getting that right rather than topics. The most important thing is to get the vibe fun and comfortable so she feels she can let her guard down. Be playful and tease her a bit such as about being a dork. I would definitely NOT mention ex gfs for so many reasons (only mention past gf's if she asks). Be a little mysterious, not give up a tonne of personal information without her reciprocating.

I typically try and have a quick logistical question (how was the traffic, how was work, etc something really quick or even an inside joke) and then go into an ice breaker. Basically a canned opener or some sort of DHV story, "you won't believe what happened" type of thing. That will get the conversation juices flowing and get her engaged, then just let the conversation flow naturally. I'll have one more queued up if the conversation gets dull half way through just to lighten the mood again and get her comfortable with sharing. I don't necesarily have a checklist but more of a general path. The most important part is to actually connect with her and not stick to pre-scripted shit where at the end of the date you know nothing about her.
