Life Lessons (First Date Smalltalk)

Let’s be honest; A first date is never easy. There are too many expectations and a date in the real world never measures up to the expectations that Hollywood sets. There are garneted to be awkward moments but there are also guaranteed to be good moments as well.

Choosing the right activity will go a long way toward ensuring the success of a first date. Select a activity that is lends its self to conversation but at the same time does not feel awkward when there is a laps in conversation.

A museum or art gallery tends to make an excellent place for a first date. The couple can talk as much as they like without disturbing the other patrons. At the same time there is no uncomfortable feel when the conversation tapers off. As an added bonus there is always something to look at and comment upon to start the conversation going again.

A movie, as a standalone activity, is a bad idea for a first date.  The environment is hostile toward conversation and is not a good way to get to know your date. However, a move followed by coffee, drinks, or dinner is usually a very strong first date. The movie gives both of you a chance to relax and get comfortable with each other. When the two of you leave the movie you will have a shared experience and something to talk about and connect over on the next phase of your date.
