1.Do your homework before the date.
Preparing talking points before the date is a good idea to keep the conversation going and get to know the other person better. You can see it as a backup plan just in case the conversation runs dry. But try to avoid asking way-too-personal questions on the first date, including asking about previous relationships.
Online dating coach Joshua Pompey recommends focusing on topics like travel, hobbies, and television to get the conversation going and get to know how the other person thinks. This will help you see how much you two have in common and you’ll manage to get to know them better.
As Pompey has explained, you might have an advantage if you meet the other person online, as you probably know already what they like and don’t like from their dating profile.
“You have an online dating profile as your personal cheat sheet—use it to your advantage and bring up those topics that they seem to enjoy,” she added.
