First Date Conversations That Actually Matter
4 min read
The best first date conversations are specific rather than broad. How someone spends an ordinary week tells you more than a summary of their career.
Ask what they are enjoying at the moment, what their weekends look like, and what they are hoping changes in the next year. Listen for whether their answers have detail.
Talk about what you are each looking for. It is not too soon, and it saves everyone time.
Keep the first date short enough that you both leave with energy. Ninety minutes is usually plenty.
