Now that you are appropriately attired for your blind date (viewtopic.php?t=411890), you may be wondering what to talk about to break the ice and get to know the lucky individual.

Feel free to post any topics or conversation starters you might have or ones that have worked for you in the past.

I’ll go first.

- any sentence that starts with “my therapist says…”

- “My ex was a real psycho. I’m not allowed within 500 feet of her house!”

- “Everyone in my family is a sociopath!”

- “The prequels were the best movies in the Star Wars’ franchise!”

- “I think I love you.” :heart:

Lamp means pause.
Lamppost means stop, scene ends.

What is the definition of a blind date? Is it someone you have never seen before IRL?. Is it someone you've never spoken too apart from 'hello'?

- Can I interest you in a Watchtower and Awake? Would you like a free home Bible study? I hope you don’t mind that my brother came along as a chaperone. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy the fellowship. :heart:

It could be either, I think.
