Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it. And sometimes, it's WHAT you say. Take first dates, for instance.
First dates can be tough. For our It's Just Lunch San Francisco clients, you're meeting your date for the first time. And, though you have some information about him/her, you also have lots of questions.
It's up to you to be smart enough to remember which questions are OK to ask (on a first date) and which questions should be saved for a later time. To repeat and clarify, it's perfectly normal to want more information from your date, but some questions and topics should be saved for a later time.
Recently, we surveyed our members about their top First Date Conversation Killers. Here's what they had to say. At the top of their list of conversation killers is past relationships, with nearly half of all respondents saying that it would definitely kill their conversation.
Next on the list is dieting or body image, followed by (surprise) politics and marriage. Again, all of these are topics that might be appropriate for later dates, but could very well destroy that good first date vibe.
