Hey OneLiver,

We knew that sometimes you are running out of topics of what to talk with the viewers, or you are not sure what viewers would like to hear, today we will pick you some topics that you and your viewer would probably enjoy!

1 – Share Funny Stories from Your Childhood

Share a hilarious story from your childhood. Maybe you’re at a restaurant, and on the menu is a drink with fresh pressed apple cider. It reminds you of the time you climbed the apple tree at your grandparents’ house and fell out and broke your ankle! Share the story and have a good laugh. He’ll likely respond with his own childhood story.

2-  Play the “Would You Rather” Game

Here’s another fun one based on a kids’ game called “Would You Rather:” the idea is that you ask your date which of two choices he’d rather do. Here’s an example:

Would you rather lose your sense of smell…or your sense of taste?

The questions can be silly and nonsensical, or you can use them to get to know him a bit better:

Would you rather never fall in love in your life…or have your heart broken over and over?

Take turns and see what comes up!

3 – Find Out About His Dreams

While “what do you do” always comes up as a question on a date, it doesn’t always accurately explain who a man is. If he crunches numbers for a living and just does it to pay the bills, you don’t get a real sense of what drives him, what he’s passionate about.

Instead, ask what his dreams are. What did he always want to do as a kid? What would he do if money were no object?

This kind of free-form conversation can really open him up and let you get to know him faster.

4 – Talk About Music or Movies

What types of movies or music does he like? And while you don’t have to be aligned exactly in the types you like, you might be dismayed to hear he’s really passionate about heavy metal music. Better to know now than later!

This conversation can, if you’re lucky, lead to the two of you deciding to go to a movie or concert if your interests are aligned!

5 – Ask Questions, but Also Let Him Do Some Asking

It’s also easy to fall into the trap of the one-sided questions. You ask a question and he answers. You ask another…and he answers. Before long, you’re feeling like the leader of the Spanish Inquisition! Pull back before you freak him out.

If he doesn’t ask you questions naturally, say something like, “Whew! I’m asking a lot of questions. Your turn!”

 

Good Luck!
