10 Things To Discuss on a Date

It doesn't matter how awesome you are, you are probably going to freeze up a little bit when you're on a date. There aren't a lot of facts surrounding this assumption, but we're pretty sure there is some chemical in our brains that makes us 87% dumber when talking to someone we are trying to impress. That same chemical makes us trip more. Seriously what is up with that?! We can't help you trip less, and we can't make you not vomit on the other person's shoes, but we can stop you from tripping all over your words or having verbal diahhrea. Maybe make some note cards or something, with the following conversation starters on them. Study these just like you studied your Spanish flash cards. Wait. Study them a lot harder than you studied your Spanish flash cards. Olé! Ven Conmigo! (We don't actually know what that means.)

1. Can you locate the US on a map? Or, could you coherently answer why, say 20% of Americans cannot? Before we get too far into this convo thing, let's make sure we are on the same page.
2. If you’re on a date with a boy, watch Pulp Fiction and then start talking about it. You just got bonus points.
3. If you’re on a date with a girl, watch this Robyn video. For reasons we can’t explain, understanding this video is the key to every girl’s heart. Girls love this video more than they love their parents or their cell phones combined. Bring up how awesome it is. You just got bonus points.
4. What animal would make the best world leader, and if they were a world leader, shouldn’t they also have to wear a funny leader hat?
5. Forget celebrity crushes. What celebrity has a crush on YOU?
6. Talk about your favorite blog. (Hem, hem.)
7. Why you can’t stop watching YouTube videos of cats doing stuff. (Or whatever.)
8. What you had for breakfast. This is mostly because breakfast is the most awesomest meal of the day, and it’s good for you to relive it and bask in its greatness. Peanut butter banana waffles with chocolate... nommmmm.
9. What is something your grandma does religiously? (Think about it for 20 seconds and we promise something funny will come to you.)
10. Tell your date he/she has a nice, long neck. That’s a super nice compliment that is weird enough that nobody will think you’ll just making stuff up.
