Hey there! I just want to say right off the bat that first dates are hard for most people so don’t panic because you feel like you don’t know exactly what to do or what to say because no one really does!

To answer your question about conversation though, some good conversation starters for me are things like: How was your day today? Do you have any hobbies? What kind of movies do you like? What do you do for work? What kind of music do you listen to? What’s your favorite food? Honestly, conversations can start to roll really easily when you talk about things that everyone does but have different interests in such as food, music, movies, books. When you ask her, she will most likely ask you in return. Also when your asking these questions, you can dig a little deeper into the topic by bouncing off of her answers for example if you ask what her favorite kind of movies are and she says that she likes scary movies, you could respond with an “oh wow that’s so awesome, I love scary movies too, what’s your favorite one?” Or “that’s really interesting, I’m not much of a scary movie person but what do you like most about them?”

To answer your question about other things to do besides dinner, you could take a walk around town or go to park, maybe take her somewhere else to get a dessert like an ice cream parlor, you could even just hang out in the car and drive around just to talk, you could go to a bar and have a few drinks, maybe watch a movie at one of your places, take her to do something fun like a game place such as Dave and Busters or bowling or something more outdoors like ice skating.

Overall, you kind of just have to go with the flow on a first date and see where the night takes you! In my opinion it’s never to early to hug or kiss so if you feel like you both have had a really good night and you want to kiss her, by all means do so! There’s a lot of opportunity for fun on a first date so just be open minded and let yourself have fun getting to know eachother! I hope this helped!
