As long as you say it happened to a friend of yours. Don’t discuss previous dates with your date…

May 24, 2011 7:59 pm at 7:59 pm #789684mikehall12382Member“Mike: Don’t you live in Canada? Which baseball teams do you have?”
you have a good memory….
Once upon a time Montreal had the Expos, but they left to Washington a couple of years ago 🙁 Thus we switched out allegiance to the Mets!
We have a lot of family in NY, so when we are in town we try to go…
Toronto still has a team, so we try to take in a game when we are visiting if we can…
we also like Hockey, but tickets in Montreal are hard to come by…
May 25, 2011 1:17 am at 1:17 am #789685nishtdayngesheftParticipantThe old standard was the three “F’s”. Food, family and philosophy.
And the story that goes along with that is,
Boy takes out a girl he wsas told to speak about the three Fs.
He asks, do you have a brother, she says no
He asks, do you like meatballs, she says no.
So then he asks, If you had a brother, would he like meatballs.
And he covered all the Fs.

July 25, 2011 1:06 am at 1:06 am #789687Another nameParticipantIf the guy decides to be creative and take the girl to a place that is NOT a lobby (gasp), they will certainly have much more to talk about!

This bears repetition.
July 25, 2011 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm #789690bptParticipantHe could verify all the accolades he heard about her. That could fill a few hours for sure!

July 26, 2011 4:10 pm at 4:10 pm #789696HaLeiViParticipantA good idea is to run the conversation about the other person. It makes you come across as interested in them, and gives them what to talk about. Also, the more a person speaks of themselve, the common points you’ll find to which you can relate, and continue the conversation from there. Just don’t forcefully stear the conversation any which way for then you are being either secretive or just plain overbearing and domineering.
