So many people seem to have difficulty starting conversations. Some of these seem like they could lead to interesting conversation.

20 First Date Conversation Starters That Aren't Played Out

by Scott Alden on September 29, 2011

It can be awkward to run out of things to talk about on a date. It can be even more awkward to have the same conversations you've had on every single date you've ever been on. Here are 20 suggestions for conversation starters that haven't been done to death. Use them, or let them inspire you to come up with your own.

1. What animal, besides humans, do you think would make the best world leaders?

2. If you could take a pill that made you never have a negative thought again, would you?

3. What’s your earliest memory of feeling wonder?

4. What would make this restaurant/bar/bowling alley/ice cream parlor better? (Anything from different glasses to a mariachi band to fog machines is acceptable.)

5. Is there a band that you used to love and can’t stand now?

6. What’s your biggest food-related triumph? (i.e. learned to make a souffle, ate a ten lb cheeseburger)

7. Do you think if you could get paid just to be yourself it would change the way you act? How?

8. Describe the best night of your teenage life.

9. If you had a million dollars that you had to give to charitable causes, how would you spend it?

10. Do you think your name suits you? What would be better? What about my name?

11. What’s your least favorite word?

12. If a close friend told you that they had been abducted by aliens last night, would you believe them?

13. What movies have made you cry, if any?

14. What was your biggest accomplishment before you turned 13?

15. You see on the news that there is an airborne virus that is turning people into zombies. What’s the very first thing you do?

16. Do you have any weird crushes on famous people that don’t make sense to you? (Be prepared to share yours, too. Even if it’s super-embarrassing.)

17. Do you believe in ghosts?

18. What did you think was “cool” when you were around 8 years old?

19. Do you have a “lucky” object or article of clothing? Does it work?

20. How would you pitch a reality show about yourself? To what network?

What are some conversation starters that you all use on first dates?

how do you feel about abortion rights?

do you think that our govt was involved in the 911 attacks?

how do you feel about evolution?

do you think Jesus was God or an ordinary human being?

how frequently do you floss?

how did you feel the first time you kissed someone of the same sex?

what is the longest number of consecutive days you have worn the same underwear if you wear underwear?

how many kids do you want?

would you be comfortable with doing some exercises together in the nude?

i just heard Palin is not going to run for president in 2012 - isn't that just sad?

And how does the first date go after those?

I'm actually surprised no one has had anything to say to this topic.

no use beating around the bush. might as well go for the jugular
and weed out the weak sisters.



i forgot.

who is your favorite rapper?

do you give lap dances here often?

Baby Peach or Dry Bowser?

So much for serious responses to this topic.

Do they have any bro or sis?

Did they grow up in a church?

How long have they lived here?

If they could travel anywhere all expenses paid, where would they go and why?

When was the last time they were in a serious relationship?

Did you go to college or finish college?

Are you working your dream job?

Those are some of the things I like to ask when im on a first date.

who are you?

what do you like to do?

what are some of your favorite foods or drinks?

what sports do you like to play or watch?

do you like to dance?

is there any place around here you have never been but where you would like to go?

any things around here you have not done that you would like to do?

what are some of your favorite restaurants?

etc.

Not bad. I'd probably leave off the serious relationship one for the first date, though.

etc? I never got why people add that to lists like this, because it tells us nothing.

Where did you grow up? Do you enjoy the work you do? where would you most like to visit? Who is your favorite actor/actress/musician? favorite food? favorite dessert ?

what do you think of sex with no strings attached

Something tells me you guys who say you ask this don't actually have the nerve to ask this.

No strings? What if I wanted to tie you up?

love that comeback

We already have a bunch of fkkkn monkeys running things now so I'd have to say parrots or crows. They evolved from dinosaurs yanno? They've been around longer than we have and probably have something interesting to say if we were smart enough to learn their language



No, negative thinking is part of what makes us human. Take that away and I think people would want to lock you away in a padded cell. You'd be a freak and couldn't relate



I wish I could tell you. After all that LSD I can barely remember my name nowadays



A bitchin rock band always improves the mood of any establishment in my opinion



Ace of Bass.... hey, I was young. Don't judge me



I am a regular at every good restaurant in this small town. Guess I should learn to cook =) Albeit, it's so much easier if you can afford it



No, not at all. Why would it? I'm confused?



It's funny how our memories seem to cling to the negative things that happen to us. I'm finding it hard to conjure up a great teenage memory. I guess I'd have to say staring at clouds and stars with a blonde hottie I now wish I got to know better. That, or the times I spent with my now deceased father, teaching me guitar lessons



I don't think a million dollars is a drop in the bucket when it comes to the needs of the less fortunate of the world. I'd probably invest that money in helping with hunger and shelter in third world countries, the most desperate.



I like my name so I wouldn't change it. It means strong which suits me in many aspects. SingMeSweet is a nice name but I wouldn't name my daughter that =)



I'm not fond of the word 'sick', as in cool, as in groovy..... Just not my generation I guess



I've seen a UFO with my own eyes and don't discount the possibility of life outside our feeble attempts of understanding our universe and existence. Depends on the friend though



I'm sure there's been a few but I can't recall specifics at the moment



Again, all that was a foggy haze



Stock up on beer



Norah Jones..... something about that voice



No, not really. I'm pretty open minded though. Do you?



Ninja Turtles and Mario were my world



Sorry, guess I'm not that interesting. If I wear the same socks three days in a row do start to feel a bit attached to them even with the stench. They haven't brought me luck though



I'd pitch mine to the Animal Planet. It would be about bizarre mating habits



No need to go on a date now.... I've answered them all

If i told you, i'd probably get arrested ;)

Have you ever stretched out a slinky to see how long it really was?
Have you ever taken a clock or watch apart to see what made it work?
What got you interested in the teacher instead of looking out the window?
Who was the first one to get you reading and did they read to you?
Have you ever had a friend that you enjoyed being with growing up?
