There is nothing worse when meeting someone for the first time than that akward silence after greeting each other. The conversation starters below will give you a few ideas to help you start great conversations on a date with people that you may not know very well. All these conversation starters have the potential for interesting and exciting conversation.
How was your day?
You look really nice, where did you get (item in question)?
How was work?
If you are in their home comment on an ornament or a piece of furniture.
Have you seen any movies recently? How did you like it/them?
What kind of music do you listen to?

What sports do you play or like? How long have you played for?
