How do you keep the conversation going on a first date?

Question

I get so nervous on first dates that my mind goes blank and awkward silences happen. I over-prepare conversation topics but then forget them when I am actually there. How do you keep a first date conversation flowing naturally without it feeling like an interview?

Ask open questions that invite stories, not just yes or no answers. Instead of 'do you like travel?' try 'what is the best place you have ever been to?' Stories lead to more stories naturally.

Silences are not always bad. Comfortable silence can actually signal chemistry. If you feel the need to fill every second of silence that anxiety is coming through. Relax and let it breathe.
