Awkward silences suck. They are awkward and obviously aren’t going to supply you and your date with anything more then just silence, hence the name. We have talked about various ways to keeping the conversation alive. These would include passions, observing, youth, travel, lessons learned and now pop culture.
Talking about your passions, which is like your hobbies, allows your date to understand you more as well as your emotional side, which all females like to know you got. This being a great way to keep a conversation alive, so that way you two can pass your passions around and talk deeply about them. You get an inside look at their passions and goals for life. Being able to understand one another more by pretty much anything, as long as you know more about each other, can be a wonderful thing in any relationship. This is also why going from friends, to best friends, to in a relationship is one of the best things you can do. As they say, being with your best friend is the best relationship anyone has ever been in. This is because they already know about you and your passions and goals, assuming you two talking openly about these things. That’s actually what happened to me. Fell in love with my best friend and here we are, 5 years later still going strong. Was then and still is one of the best feelings you can ever get, seeing your best friend and knowing that they belong to you in a not so slave driver like way.
Second that was talked about was observing. One of the things you can do is checking out your surroundings to figure something out to talk about. Like I said, it is so simple that you wonder why you never did it in the first place. You are so lost in the moment that you forget that there is anything else existing beside you are your date. One thing you can try out, if at a bar for some reason is to make up funny stories for all the people you see. Take turns with it. It will show that you not only have a sense of humor but it also shows your creative side. This is a great thing to do on a date. Well they all are, really.
Third was talking about your youth. When it comes to a childhood, most are rather the same in terms of subjects. Everyone remembers their childhoods and it is something everyone can relate to. By speaking about your kid years you will allow your date to enter into your soul and how you were brought up which usually tells people how you really are. She or he can even relate to some of the experiences, which is even greater in terms of conversation. And conversation is what you are thriving for!
The fourth was talking about travel. When it comes to talking about where you have traveled, it is always best to start the conversation but never dominate it. To your date it will look like you are showing off or trying to hard to look good. This is why you need to understand, learn and use the fact that by talking about where you’ve been in your life, given that you been to some cool places or a lot of places, isn’t all that attractive. By opening this conversation you can get a better feel for your dates feelings, beliefs and cultural awareness and what ever else might sprout from it. Let your date do most of the talking here. They may even be able to share some funny stories for a good laugh or two. Once you have them on a roll you simply listen and relate. Everyone loves a person that can listen sincerely. This is a key factor to keeping peace between the two of you. Compromising is as well. Having the ability to calm things down, control your anger and temper and see things from your lovers point of view is a great way to keep the peace, and this is achievable by learning to listen, and talking about travel in this way is a great way to learn about listening.
Fifth thing I went over was putting in lessons you have learned. This helps your date get a wider knowledge of you depth of thought and emotion and allows for some more conversations that may be a little more in depth then the others you have talked about. It is just an overall good idea for when you are talking. It adds more to the conversation than just normal talking.
And now, lastly on our list of things to help conversation rolling (yes that means no more articles related to this subject, for now anyway) is pop culture. This is a nice placeholder to keep the conversation from falling into the abyss again. And, it will keep you from entering the interrogation mode where you bombard your date with. If you want to avoid that, and I hope you do want to avoid it, you can easily go with talking about up to date pop culture things that are going on at the time. However, if you keep to this subject your date will grow increasingly bored with it and you, so make sure you change the subject sometime after you start talking about pop culture.
