Conversations to avoid on a first date – First dates can evoke fear in many people. First, there’s the getting ready part of the date that is really stressful, and this is before the date even begins. You think about what to wear because you don’t want to look under dressed, but not too dressed up either. Oh, where is that delicate fine line? While on the date, things only get worse.

Who should pay for the bill? Where should you put your hands? Should you kiss at the end of the date? Of all the landmines, first date conversation may be one of the most difficult. People will even go as far as to rehearse conversational topics that they think might pop up.
Whether you met this person in the office, at a bar, through mutual friends or through a dating site, having one-on-one conversation is difficult no matter how many times you may have exchanged some witty banter beforehand. Soon, the office gossip and mutual friend chitchat will subside and you’ll have to discover where your interests intersect. The talk can be a little mechanical until you find out that you both like Asian cinema or went to the same college or volunteer at the same animal shelter. Eventually, you are bound to find things you have in common with your date but until then, you’ll be navigating conversation blind, in which case, here are 10 first date conversation topics that should be avoided at all costs:
10. Money
Obviously money is a weird conversation for people. It’s even a weird conversation to have with close friends and relatives, let alone someone you’re on a first date with. Money may come up as a subject matter when the bill arrives because, well, someone obviously has to pay the bill. Tact is the best course in this manner. Decide who pays the bill and that is that. Other subjects, like how much you make a year or how much your car cost you, should be off the table completely. While you may think you’re winning brownie points for telling someone how expensive your car or you purse is, they will already know if it’s a Lexus or Louis Vuitton so being showy will only make you look, well, showy.
