Questions and Topics to Avoid:

Work

• It’s ok to get the basics but don’t waste your precious 4 minutes talking non-stop about work.

 

Exes

• If you’re talking about your ex it means there are still unresolved feelings there.

 

Religion/politics

• Too intense for first time you meet someone, save it for later.

 

Money

• No one likes when people brag about money. Also don’t ever ask how much someone earns, it’s none of your business!

 

Marriage/kids

• It’s important to know you are on the same page, but discussing it in the first 4 minutes is a bit much. Keep things lighter.

 

Anyone can talk for a few minutes, honestly. If you haven’t been before, the fear of the unknown is what makes people nervous. Will I be the only one there? Will everyone be weird? Will it be hard to make conversation? No, no, and no. A few dates in you will see how friendly people are and how easy a 6 minute conversation is. Every event I host has guests say it’s much easier/more fun than they thought it would be and they wonder what they were worried about. These topics are also great to use as first date questions. Relax, smile and have fun speed daters!
