What to Talk About on Your Date? - Online Dating

It seems as though a lot of people on online dating sites talk a fair amount over the net.  During that time they explain what they do, what they like, dislike, etc. So what do they have to talk about when they meet for the first time?

According to the article "What to Talk About on a First Date" by Stuart Dobson you should:

• Be unexpected: Talk about something original
• Avoid giving straight answers
• Be positive, you need to keep a good tone
• Try to keep the conversation on the other person: People love talking about themselves
• Ask open ended questions: "What if you were to..."
• Be oberservant: Notice funny things around you
• Try playing a game

These are all great tips, and will most likely keep you both entertained.  Also keep up to date on the latest news, and what is going on around the world.  This is a great conversation started, and may even lead to a fun debate.  Furthermore, check out this blog, Stupid and the City and keep up-to-date with what is going on around you.  This blog has articles on:
