Our last blog post focused on the importance of "small talk" during your date which lead to some questions on general "first date conversation do's and don'ts". So, for your Weekly Monday advice we will share our tips of Do's and Dont's
A Few Conversation Do's
- Do be sincere. If her smile lights up the room, then tell her, but don't say something just for the sake of it. Insincere compliments are transparent.
- Do be yourself. Whatever's on your mind and in your heart will be the most natural thing you can talk about. Remember, they'll either like you or not. If they like you, great, if not…next! Why waste time trying to get someone's approval?
- Do be funny. Being light with a sense of humor helps people let their guard down, which could allow you more room to move in!
- Do say their name a few times; it'll make them feel special. But don't say it too much, or you'll sound like you just attended a cheesy sales seminar.
- Do keep it positive. Stick to your best attributes and the things you are most positive about. People become sexier as they talk excitedly and passionately about things that interest them.
- Do have fun with it. It's all about play!
A Few Conversation Don'ts
- Don't criticize personal choices, like wearing fur or who they voted for in the last election.
- Don't hog the conversation. It should flow back and forth like a tennis volley-you hit, they return.
- Don't start talking about marriage or commitment on the first three dates.
- Don't use a cheesy opening lines like, "Are you an Aquarius?"
