HERE YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT EXPERTS SAY IS BEST TO TALK ABOUT ON A FIRST DATE

Nothing is as awkward as dating someone you barely know. Oh yes, there is: having silences during a date with someone you barely know.

And so research has been done: what is the best thing to chat about if you want the evening to succeed? Because an evening that slowly bleeds out is eternally a shame, of course.

What you should mainly talk about is travel. According to researchers, almost everyone has something to say about that. We can all look back on a vacation where something funny happened or that city trip that went awry. That's what people like to hear, yes, something with schadenfreude, so to speak. Singles who talk about their wanderlust on a first date have no less than twice the chance of going out with this person again. So if they’re cute… You know what to do.

The fact that trips are such a good topic actually comes from the fact that we find people who love to travel or who enjoy talking about it, yes, more attractive. Nothing is as charming as a man who knows everything about diving at the Great Barrier Reef in Aussie or about the leopards he spots during his night safaris in South Africa… You would almost go wild over it.

What you better not start about? His Netflix preferences. As in: which series he watches or which movies he thinks are cool. According to scientists, that most often leads to disagreements and uncomfortable discussions – and that is guaranteed fodder for those awkward silences… Sorry, Gossip Girl, we’re going to Ibiza, Bali, and Buenos Aires. Xoxo and adiós.
