What are good topics to talk about when I first meet a woman?

What makes a women interested, or not interested

Initial interest is often superficial -- does she like the look of you.

 

 

First meeting you need to be a combo of interesting, interested (in her), funny or at least witty, and intelligent.

 

 

There is a universe of things to talk about. Whatever you already have in common & current events are great places to start. Also ask get to know you Qs, but don't ask Qs that are too pointed or personal. Stick to easy things like favorite color, food, movie, etc. Perhaps how the person came to have their profession or major and where they drew up.

What makes a women interested, or not interested

 

I don't think we can answer this. It completely depends on the girl you're going out with. I will say in my case (which may not be the case for other women) I really hate questions like, "What are your hobbies?" or "What book are you reading?" Those questions are typical of first dates that I get annoyed.

Not to thread jack but abby_tx why do those Qs annoy you? I would think they would be good break the ice Qs. Are you implying that the date should already know the answers from your OLD profile?

Lol. This is why I added "which may not be the case for other women" because I feel like I'm a weirdo for not liking these questions. I have no idea why they irk me. He wouldn't be able to learn any of it from my profile, so it has nothing to do with that. Maybe they feel like interview questions? Too forced?

[d0nnivain]

The forced nature of it makes some sense.

 

 

Like anything, it's different strokes for different folks.

 

 

OP this is why there is no universal answer to your Q.

Hi,

 

Humor is aiways good, but can blow up in your face. Try for jokes that are somewhat at the expense of men. For example:

 

A husband says to his wife "if I die before you I hope you find someone eise quickly but please donate and sell all my stuff quickly as I hate the idea of some wanker playing with my stuff". (wanker an English term referring to the act of masterbation by a homeless man, unwashed, the stench of alcohol, urine, and feces in the air on a bus or in the tubes,) the wife agrees but says "why on earth would you think I would marry another wanker",

 

As to lcation for a first date. I grew up in the NY metro area and many places offered a great brunch. They would offer breakfast items but would offer carving boards with roasted ham and turkey, shrimp, etc. Been a decade but those in the Morris county area would rave about Rods in Morris plains. I would suggest meeting me there or picking her out - but first meeting me there. This always worked for me because it was safe for her. No hidden agenda and provide an opportunity for an at length discussion.
