I’m often asked what topics you should talk about on a date. After all, you want to engage the person and turn them on – not ask difficult or deep questions that have the opposite effect. So I’ve written this very short dating article to help inform you. Dating Dave knows what you need to talk about!

In general, the questions that you pose should be open ended, with the goal to find out lots about the person you’re dating… they want to see that you are actively and positively interested in them. Use questions like the following: “What do you like to do in your spare time?”. “What pleasure do you get from that?”. “If you could go on a holiday anywhere in the world, where would it be and what would you do?”. These questions not only invite good answers and conversation, but may help your date to recall pleasant past experiences and share them with you.

Whatever you talk about, it’s really important to have fun on a date – and good spoken communication is attention-grabbing and stimulating to each of you. Body language is important too. Try to maintain a posture where your body is relaxed and open, you lean in towards your date, you smile, and you become alive and animated. Don’t be tense, sitting back, crossing your legs and arms and barely smiling. If you’ve got good body language, it helps to convey your confidence along with your visual communication.

Remember that you are a whole person – and your date is too. So whilst asking questions and your body language are both important, make sure your heart is committed too. That will make a big difference.
