Sweet Talk On A Date

Allow the other person to speak at the end of each sentence. maximum three sentences or three minutes and then let them agree, or say what they think, or change the subject.

Keep conversation upbeat and positive

SWEET SUBJECTS
A cookery book told me that in some countries the etiquette is that conversation at the dinner table should always be positive and happy to aid digestion.

So avoid getting maudlin.
You will depress yourself and the listener if you talk about:
a) How my family member or best friend died.
b) My serious medical problems.
The accident or disaster I saw in the street.
All the money I lost and the mistakes I made and haven’t learned how to avoid.

Stick to stories of happiness, fun, great discoveries, good places, wonderful people.
