Ice Breakers

  • Favorite Type Of Music – The number one thing all humans have in common is they love to be entertained. When you ask what kind of music he enjoys listening to on a daily basis; you can get a strong sense of who he is and his personality type. You could also bring up the question of his favorite concert he’s ever attended.
  • Family Life/Hometown – The next thing you can talk about that will actually be a shock to most men would be to ask them about their family life! How was it growing up, where did he grow up, would he ever move back, etc. Just ask him how his childhood was and what his favorite memories are.
  • Hidden Talents – Not everyone does every single thing they are passionate about. Some people are amazing singers but they just like singing as a hobby and would never pursue it as a career choice. Ask him if he has any hidden talents you should know about! He may surprise you.
  • Trips – Whether it was for business or pleasure, ask him if he’s gone on any sort of trip recently or attended a seminar of some sort. Let him describe the surroundings he witnessed on the trip and see if you can see that glimpse of a glimmer in his eye. Those are the kind of people to keep.
  • Future – The last topic you could discuss is where he sees himself in the future. A successful man (or just a driven one) has a 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 20-year plan. Ask him about every single stage of his future plans and let him know about yours. The future is one of those topics people can listen to (or talk about) to for hours on end.

What You Shouldn’t Talk About

As you all probably know, there are 2 very important topics that you absolutely should never bring up on the first 5 dates (at least).

1. Religion
2. Politics
3. Weird facts. Like how you just cleaned a rug from blood stains 😳

As long as you steer clear of (at least) the 2 first topics, you’ll have an enjoyable date (unless you’re dating a spiritual leader or a politician…then you must proceed with caution).
