How to converse casually

First, introduce yourself briefly

At a dating party, we will meet people who want to get to know each other. And just as you are interested in who the other person is, the person sitting opposite you is also asking a similar question. It is ideal to start the conversation with a few sentences about who you are. Introduce yourself and provide some essential information about yourself and your life.

Be honest and only provide true information

The most important rule at a dating party is: Do not embellish the truth! Provide only true, but also essential information about yourself. Do not hide your real age or marital status, as well as whether and how many children you have. Although it may seem to you that embellishing the truth increases your chances of getting to know each other, this is not the case. The truth always comes out and there is nothing worse than when, after a few more meetings, it turns out that you are married to someone else and have two children.

Self-praise stinks

Even if you have a well-established career and are very successful at your job, there is no need to emphasize this fact too much on the first date. Of course, tell your partner what your profession is, but if you spend long minutes telling him how irreplaceable you are at work and what you are responsible for, you may rather discourage your potential partner. After all, why get to know someone who doesn't actually have time for a relationship because of their work.

What you enjoy and what you like

Don't forget to also mention your hobbies, what you enjoy, enjoy and what you like to do in your free time. On the one hand, this will naturally start a conversation, especially if you have an unusual hobby, and on the other hand, you may find out that you and your partner have similar interests. Again, only talk about what is true, because if you are not honest, it may happen that several more dates will take place in concert halls as part of “your” interest in classical music, and you will not enjoy the meeting.

Avoid the weather and politics

On the contrary, avoid talking about the weather. Everyone knows that it is hot/cold/raining/snowing outside, etc., so why mention it? By talking about the weather, you can give the impression that you have nothing to talk about with your partner, and there is a risk that the table will become stuffy. The topic of politics is equally inappropriate. Although it may be important to you personally, not everyone shares your opinion on politics, and why risk arguing with your partner on the very first evening, especially because of politics.

If you follow these few rules and conversation topics, your first date night will certainly be successful. Try to be natural and behave as you really are. Because a dating evening is not a job interview, quite the opposite. It is a pleasant gathering of people who are interested in getting to know each other better. We keep our fingers crossed for you!
