The low pressure way to have a good first conversation
I had my first second date about 5 years ago. And I was so worried about what we were going to talk about.
I knew the only thing that really mattered was getting to know each other. And since I like games, I made one to help us do that.
We had to find household items and answer personal questions for each one. Like this:
Find a plate. When have you had to eat humble pie?
But as I was making the game, I started feeling excited instead of anxious. I stopped worrying about how the conversation would go. I was just going to discover things about someone I might like.
We were at IKEA for like 3 hours and the date went really well.
So when you meet someone, instead of asking the awkward "what do you do", play the scavenger hunt.
Keep guessing, ask for hints, and make it fun. You’ll spark real conversation and uncover something interesting.
I hope this helps someone! If you want the full scavenger hunt i used for the date just message me
