What's a good conversation topic when you're on a blind date?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Good conversation starters for a blind date are:
1. The other person - learn about the person you have just met. While they are talking, take note of what they say and find common interests.
2. The place where you are meeting - if at a restaurant, talk about the food, the environment, etc.

AVOID:
1. Politics - Some people take their views very seriously and saying the wrong thing could ruin the rest of the evening.
2. Talking about yourself too much - let them ask the questions, don't ramble - providing too much can sound self-centered (I work at a factory making fake dog poo and love giving them as gifts to people - nothing else could be funnier) - providing too little can make it seem as though you are hiding something (I work at a factory.....nothing else said).
3. Sports (unless they indicate being a sports fan); your financial situation; how hard things are (unless later in evening and it evolved into such conversation) and anything else where someone could take offense (abortions, incest, the Holocaust, etc).

To be safe, talking about the meal you're eating (if you are having dinner) is a good place to start. From there, you might get a little more creative, by asking something like, "If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would you choose?" Other good topics might be your respective careers, where you each live, hobbies, or recent travel experiences.

Perhaps it might be useful to consider what topics might generally be avoided at all costs, such as previous relationships. Also, politics might be a no-no, unless you both know beforehand that you share the same views. Beyond that, it's up to you. According to some experts, your tone of voice and body language are important cues to how the date is going, so as long as you both appear interested in what each other are saying, it's probably safe to just let the conversation naturally flow.

Offer what most can't offer:

* if you are a man: listen

* if you are a woman: be yourself (the real one, not the seductive one)

Always have been told to talk about the favorite place you've been to, or traveled to, or would like to go. People always like to hear about new places to go, and travel experiences.

1) How awkward you are feeling.
2) How good she looks (always a good conversation).
3) Anything that helps you get to know each other including work, family, hobbies, interests.
