First Date Conversation Advice For Men - 5 Tips For Good Conversations
Why do men worry so much about first date conversation? Well it could be for a number of reasons. Just knowing that you as the man are usually expected to be the initiator of conversations on a first date can cause some jitters, and if you don't feel like you are an especially good conversationalist in the first place then you really can get uncomfortable.
And if your date is a major hottie, then you probably really are going to feel tongue tied around her.
So is there an easy way to overcome the "first date conversation jitters?" Well here are 5 tips to help you do just that, so relax and breath, help is just ahead.
1. Forget that you perhaps don't know this girl very well and dive into the conversation as if you had known her forever. Think about how you talk to friends and family, and try and drop the whole first date pressure mentality.
2. Listen more than you talk. Women like to talk, usually more than men, so ask some questions and then listen. Listening has become a rare art form these days, and men who actually listen to what their date is saying will probably be amazed at how their conversational jitters seem to fade away as you naturally want to ask more questions.
3. Along the lines of #2, don't just jump in and share your experience of a similar situation every time she pauses for a minute. People seem to feel that if we can share our experience of a similar situation, or how we maybe even handled it better, then we can build rapport with the person we are talking to.
Now this can be true and you have to strike a balance here, but most people aren't really listening, they are just waiting to jump in and share their experience and get some attention on themselves. Keep the focus on her.
4. Don't ask big life questions or too personal questions on a first date. This isn't really the time to ask how many kids she wants to have, what religion she practices, how many sexual partners she's had, whether she's ever had a felony... you get the idea. Save those questions for a few dates down the road if you decide to see her again.
5. A good conversation starter is to share some recent events that may have happened to you, perhaps even as you were coming to pick her up or meet her for the date. It's a good ice breaker to be able to say something like, I just saw the funniest thing on my way here.
Or instead of something that you personally observed, perhaps share something interesting or of current events that you saw on TV or heard on the radio and ask her if she saw or heard the same thing. If she has then ask her what she thought of it, and if she hasn't you can share why you thought it was interesting and then she can respond. Either way you've gotten the first date conversation started. And then..... just listen.
You can ease your First Date Conversation jitters even more when you know what women really want from men.
