You want to come across as sophisticated, charming and blow<br \/>\nit out of the park &#8211; but what if the conversation doesn&#8217;t flow after the first 10 minutes? Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/\"><strong>we<\/strong><\/a> have<br \/>\nyou covered! We know you&#8217;ll have some aces up your sleeve, and we suggest you start with those. It\u2019s<br \/>\nnatural for there to be some lulls in the conversation, so it\u2019s a good idea to choose some of these first<br \/>\ndate questions as a fallback if the silence gets a little too awkward.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, the purpose of these questions is to ease you into a natural conversation, not to bombard<br \/>\nthem. Once you have found a topic that you both have in common, spend some time finding out more.<br \/>\nIt is a conversation, not an interrogation, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Keep it fun and casual &#8211; reserve talking of your hopes and dreams for the second and third date!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and remember to give elaborate answers to theirs, so they have something to work with too!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What do you like to do in your free time?<\/li>\n<li>What was the last show you binge-watched?<\/li>\n<li>What were some of the turning points in your life?<\/li>\n<li>What are some accomplishments that you are really proud of?<\/li>\n<li>What is an odd talent you have or an odd fact about you?<\/li>\n<li>Who are you closest to in your family?<\/li>\n<li>What is the one chore you hate the most?<\/li>\n<li>Which is your dream country to visit?<\/li>\n<li>Who is your favourite cousin?<\/li>\n<li>What nicknames have you had throughout your life?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-61 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Accents-For-Blog.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"46\" height=\"41\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting someone for the first time is always a mix of excitement and nerves, and when for romantic interests &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-matrimonial-services"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":381,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110\/revisions\/381"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matchmeglobal.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
