20 ways to perfect your first date conversation.

#16 Don’t hog the conversation. Don’t interrupt or speak at length about the same topic unless your date adds their point of view about the same topic frequently. Keep your sentences short, so your date gets to respond or add their own point of view often. The shorter your lines *around a minute at a stretch is good enough unless you’re telling an anecdote*, the more interactive the evening would start to feel.
