Going out on a date can be really exciting and enjoyable especially when you’re having the time of your life with your date. The key factor in great dates is great conversation. Striking up a conversation with the other person can put too much pressure on you especially if you know so little about them. This is one reason why you and your date should start asking questions about one another to get to know each other on a deeper level.

When you found something in common between you, this could be the start of a great conversation. Share you experiences and your interests, let them know and let them feel that you’re interested and you’re interesting. Ask open ended questions. These questions are not simply answerable by yes or no but by deep conversational messages. Through this, you will have a good idea about the person’s intellectual level as well as their sense of humor, if there’s any. Having the same wavelength of thinking is one of the crucial factors in successful relationships. You’d want to spend the rest of your life with someone who you can talk to about serious matters at the same time make you laugh, right?

Probably one of the best conversation starters involves sharing one or more sms in your mobile phone. You could start with "Hey, you know what? A friend recently sent me this funny sms. I can’t stop laughing all day when I read it," and then show her the message on your mobile phone.

You can also share some love quotes with her. You could start talking about it like, "When I read this love quote on my mobile phone, I knew I had to ask you out on a date. I was struck with it so hard that even if I was a bit shy, I mustered enough courage to ask you out. Here is why," and then show the love quote that inspired you to be brave enough to ask her out. This gesture will surely melt the girl’s heart and you’ll notice her blush while reading the love quote. If you’re lucky enough, she would be starting to fall for you because of what you told her.

If you are still quite unsure how to start the flow of communication, you can begin by complimenting your date. Saying something nice to a guy is easier than complimenting a girl. If you comment on his appearance or his car, it will instantly break the ice and will send a message that you like him. Complimenting a girl can be complicated. Don’t just use average words because it would only mean that she looks plain. The tip here is to sound exhilarated and excited when you say something nice about her. Don’t over do it though, you might sound creepy enough and scare her off.

If you have a good sense of humor, take advantage of it. Laughter is a great ice breaker and you’d be surprised at how powerful it can be to help you connect with you date. Believe it or not, both of you are nervous. It is okay to let your date know that you’re nervous. Since your date feels that same way, he’ll start letting his guard down to be comfortable with you.
