Conversation:
Things to talk about on a first date
Probably the single most important aspect of the first date is the conversation - through it you get to know your date, and have fun. In this chapter you will find special and unique ways to lift your conversational skills to another level. Whether it's things to talk about on a first date or questions to ask on a first date - you'll find some good first date tips here.
The two levels of conversation
Each conversation you will ever have take place in 2 different levels.
The 1st level of conversation
This is the conscious level of the conversation. It is composed from the actual things to talk about on a date and the level of interest in this subject for the people conversing. So let’s say we are talking about airplanes and we are both interested in airplanes - that’s as far as the 1st level of conversation goes. The important thing to remember about the 1st level is that it serves as a platform in order to build the 2nd level upon it. And the better the platform (meaning the more interesting the subject is) the greater the effect of the 2nd level.
The 2nd level of conversation
This is the unconscious level of the conversation. The “behind the scenes” of the 2 people conversing. When talking about a man and a woman it usually regards the level of attraction that sparks between them. So you may still be talking about airplanes in level 1, but in level 2 your both thinking about ripping each others clothes off. Level 2 cannot exist without level 1. So, although our goal is to do well on level 2, we have to handle level 1 as well.
