You have probably already noticed or experienced first hand that keeping a conversation going on a date can be like pulling teeth. It takes a little bit of give and take.
When you meet someone for the first time there are a few topics that you should avoid at all costs. It is a well known fact that discussing politics are religion on a first date should be avoided. Bringing up one of these topics could lead to a heated debate and cause the former conversation, now quarrel, to spiral out of control and ruin your chances of a second date.
Depending on where you live these topics may differ. For example, if you live in the Middle East where it is widely known that religion and spirituality are taken very seriously, you may want to avoid those topics when you meet someone new. If you are American there are also certain topics that should be avoided if you want to keep the conversation going. For example, when you first meet someone don't ask them where they were on September 11. Bringing up subjects that are sensitive in nature and evoke strong emotions is not a good segue to a further more intimate conversation.
Politics on the other hand, present a whole new set of issues. People often hold extreme views about which political party they support. Most people have been strong supporters of a particular party for the majority of their life. Often they support the same party that their parents did so they have a long history of supporting that particular party ingrained into their psyche. Any topic which lends itself to statements causing exclusion should be avoided on a date. Focus on what you have in common.
You can never now which topics are sensitive unless you know someone; here are some more that should be avoided to prevent strife and make sure your date goes smoothly.
� Abortion - There is no other topic that creates animosity
� Capital Punishment
� Euthanasia
A good rule of thumb is to keep to safe topics where a friendly debate will be perceived as an innocent deviation of opinions, such as family, friends, work, hobbies, interests and passions. It is imperative that you establish a certain comfort level with your date before you begin to discuss controversial issues. Once this is established, you can discuss these topics with out the fear or ruining your date and leaving on bad terms.
