Dating is about two people spending time together and hopefully, starting a relationship based on a physical, mental and emotional interaction that will lead to other things.

The only way for two people to get started in getting to know each other and taking their relationship to a higher level is through conversation.

First dates are tough since the two people know little about each other and just getting a conversation started, leave alone keeping it alive, can be very hard; which is why there are a few dating tips for conversation that you need to keep in mind.

Laughter is the best medicine to cure initial awkwardness and making your date smile will be the first step in getting him or her to open up to you. When two people can recall funny times from the past and share private jokes, they are on their way to developing a serious relationship with a strong foundation. A relationship is based on differences as much as things in common so do not be afraid of talking about your differences, it will keep the relationship from getting stale. Taking an interest in your date’s passions and asking questions to learn more about what drives him or her is a great way to both learn more about the other person and also add value and strength to a relationship because of the better understanding you will have of each other.

Besides accepting and understanding differences, sharing common thoughts and emotions can also help you to understand each other better. The same passion can have different effects on people and being able to understand this will allow you to understand each other better. The more you encourage each other to be open in what you both say, the more you will grow as human beings and this will enable you to look at each other with new perspectives which will only add to the strength of your relationship.

No discussion of the importance of conversation will be complete without a mention of the importance of listening.  Showing your interest in what your date is saying is important and asking questions that shows you really do want to understand his or her opinions and attitudes will show that you are really interested in him or her as a person and not just a one time date.

Even if you have a lot to say, control yourself and do not try and dominate the conversation. Let your date have an opportunity to express him or herself – dating involves 2 people and they both have equal rights. There is nothing wrong in arguing over things as long as both of you understand that you both have a right to express your views and not agreeing with the other does not mean that you value them less – in fact, a good argument often clears the air and gets rid of a lot of pending irritants so a relationship can pick up speed again.
