First dates can be awkward, especially if you're meeting the person for the first time in person after matching online. So how do you break the ice?
Dating and relationship coach, Varsha Mathur, told Bustle to start with a light topic. She said, quote, “Be interested in them and ask questions about the light-hearted stuff, such as how they got into the city or where they found parking. Asking questions that require black and white answers are a great way to start deeper conversations.”
Here are some ideas from Bustle you can use that can easily spin off into a deeper conversation:
- Ask Them Something About Their Dating Profile
