Awkwardness on a first date can be the stuff nightmares are made of. Anuja Premika spells out the right things to say to fill the lulls.
First dates are hard enough without uncomfortable silences lingering in the air. After all, there’s only so much polite laughter and forced observations about the menu you can deal with. Find yourself drawing a blank? Just start simple. “It’s best to try to start by asking questions that are easy to answer, like ‘how was your day?’ or ‘what did you do this weekend?’” shares romance novelist, Nisha Sharma.
After all, there’s a lot riding on the quality of conversation on a first date, especially if you want there to be a second. The key to nailing it is to define what you are looking for, and what you want your date to see in you.
