I don't know what to talk about

Hi,
I am 28 years old and have just meet a girl and she is 20 years old, we have been on one date which I took her down to London, we had a great time but the only problem I had was I ran out of conversation.

Hope to hear of you soon.

First dates can be very stressful especially when youre a bit on the shy side and desperately nervous as you try to impress.

At the start of a new relationship its only natural that there will be a few awkward lapses in conversation as you get to know one another. Besides I think your date would be more put off than turned on if her quiet, unassuming date suddenly turned into an egotistical motor mouth over dinner.

The only suggestion I would make which might break the ice and make the awkward silences more bearable would be if you took your date on an activity where youre not constantly face-to-face and pressured into talking about yourselves all of the time.

Why not try a sport for example? Nothing too physically demanding such as 10 pin bowling, the golf driving range or a round of crazy golf. This way you still get to spend time together but the activity will help distract from any nervous silences. It will also give you a chance to get closer to her as you give her advice on her swing, bowling technique etc.

If the sport thing does not appeal why not take her to an art exhibition, a museum or a fairground.

One of the best dates Ive ever been on was to an art gallery. We chatted, flirted and whenever we got a bit nervous or ran out of conversation we admired the art and talked about that. It also gave me a chance to check out my boyfriends cute bum as he bent over to admire a sculptor in closer detail! :o)

If youre inventive in your choice of dates Im positive you'll both have a great time and you will soon forget about those first few awkward meetings. Soon after the conversation will start to flow naturally and you will find common ground such as music, films, family etc to talk about.
