I'm going on a 2nd date...need some tips...?

im going on a 2nd date tonight with a man i met last week. i'm 26 and he's 34, so we're not teenagers, but even at this age i'm nervous about it and i'm worried i will struggle to keep the conversation going. im a naturally quiet person (would rather not say anything than talk pointless ****). i know there are standard things to talk about like work, what music you like, what movies you've seen etc, but they are pretty much worn out and conversations don't really stay alive based on those 'standard' topics. does anyone have any suggestions on GOOD conversation topics that is relatable and can keep a conversation going?I'm going on a 2nd date...need some tips...?
Well I think it's time to ask more personal questions. Like where does he see himself in five years? what's some of his pet peeves? what are his views on family and relationships? It's like main course after the appetizer. and just take some deep breaths and relaxI'm going on a 2nd date...need some tips...?
It helps to talk about something fragile, like how you are so worried that you'll come across as dull. Start with something along the lines of, hey mind if we take a walk, then bring up how its so hard for you to create small talk. It'll be much more easy once you two have more shared experiences together.
give him what he wants. bring a condom. or if you're like me you might want to bring a couple packs. but yeah. just go for it. also you might want to go for the glow in the dark colored kind. much more fun.
Find out his interests and ask him questions about his hobbies.





My boyfriend of a few years would tell you the secret was to just ask me questions to let me talk about myself and be (maybe he was only pretending) interested.
