What are the best and safest topics/questions for a first date?

[Jemini_Crocket]

I personally find questions like these to be the worst:
1. Why are you single?
2. What's your body count?
3. Weight/height question

That's just what I think is totally unwelcome and inappropriate. I'm more curious about what is most helpful (and safe) in getting to know someone especially if you've like met randomly and decided to meet up for an actual date.

Remember that you're there to see if you can have fun together. Overthinking is not fun. If you dislike their weight or anything, just go on and perhaps not have a second date. No need to address it and ruin the mood.

How was your day? I like your outfit. What do you do for a living? Any plans for the weekend?
And if they say more than a few words about a topic, ask a follow up question. Do they go in detail about something cool they do at work? "Could you explain me how that works?" Or "Wow, that sounds crazy, isn't it.." all of that is fine.

And most of all, remember: Ask, listen, repeat what you heard, ask a follow up question. That's how you keep the conversation going. If there's a silence, don't worry about it; You're not going to be talking every second of your time together, so get comfortable in silence.

None of these questions should be asked on the first date.

And actually, you shouldn't ask questions. Whatever you will talk about, or ask, must come naturally when doing things.

Depends on what date you're having. A dinner is the worst for a first date, you're stuck in one place and can't find anything else to talk about.

First date should always be outside, and be diverse, so you have opportunity to talk about different things.

I personally think a simple walk in the park is the best but why not go for some easy meal first, somewhere cozy and intimate, and then have a nice walk in the park or through the town to digest?
That's my idea of the perfect date. Something simple involving food haha

Well, you can have food, and actually you should, it's another way of bonding. But you need to do something else beside it, because different situations and activities give more chances of having different things to talk about. And it comes more naturally.

I always ended up talking about music...

Those questions are important to know. Lol but usually a woman will lie in 2 out of 3 of those questions. They will never tell you there true height and weight, and also body count. Both are always lies no matter what.
