Dating Advice | 5 Great Dating Conversation Starters

Read this dating advice and try these conversation starters to keep your date engaged.

You can find a lot of dating advice on how to dress and act while out on a date, but there aren’t that many tips on how to talk to your date. At some point, you’d run out of small talk, so how do you keep her engaged then? One trick is to raise interesting topics to discuss. Getting her opinion on said topics helps you get to know her a little deeper.

But would you even broach such subjects in the first place? Here are some great conversation starters to help you get the ball rolling:

• How did your day go?

Although it’s a relatively easy question, it does give you a deeper idea of what she’s like without being intrusive. In short, the answer lets you know her personality more. The answer to this question also provides insight into other aspects. For example, if you are dating a Ukrainian woman, it can shed a little light on the country’s culture and traditions based on what she does.

• What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

As you get to know each other, this is one question that can spice up the conversation. It also signals that you are genuinely interested in getting to know her more. If she is a bit hesitant to answer the question, you can start by sharing about yourself first. Opening up first would give her comfort in knowing that you wouldn’t judge her.

• If you were rich and no longer had to work, how would you likely spend your time?

The answer to this question sheds light on what she wants out of life. But asking in an indirect way doesn’t put her on the spot and makes for easy conversation. That’s because it doesn’t feel like you’re interrogating her on her life choices and goals. It’s also one possible way of knowing if you both have the same relationship goals.

• What show can you recommend I should watch?

Her taste in television shows (and other pop culture references) is another way of discovering her personality. And if your tastes and preferences align, that’s definitely an indicator of your compatibility. Discussing topics like this can also put your date at ease. Even if you both have serious intentions for the date, it can serve as a reminder not to take things too seriously and just try to have a good time.

• What is your pet peeve?

One of the most basic dating tips is not to get on her nerves. If you ask this question, at least you have an idea of what ticks her off and try to avoid doing anything that irritates her.

It’s normal to have gaps in between conversations. But to minimize awkward long pauses, any of these starters can keep both of you engaged while getting to know one another. And if you plan on marrying a Ukrainian woman, you definitely have to sharpen your conversation skills because they are some of the most intellectual women in the world.
