I am dating this great girl for a couple months already and I am running out of things to talk about when we go out to dinner or drive somewhere that takes awhile to get to. How do you keep on finding interesting topics to talk about? My work is pretty boring, and if I start talking about technicals I use for trading stocks and bonds it will be way over her head. I did on our first few dates and she said that is very interesting and complicated to understand. I have no idea on what you are talking about. But it sounds interesting.

Looking for ideas.

Its a fair enough thread. I have had the same problems in the past, as most of my interests are shared by other males and not usually females.

Quit talking about yourself, give her a chance to talk. The simple question "how was your day?" is usually enough to get a woman talking all night.

Two way street

I don't think anyone wants to listen to that man or woman

A balance should be the aim

I always do that, but if we're like driving 30 minutes away, it's not enough to get her talking off a storm. She's not like that.

Do some interesting things together. You can build memories/commonalities.

If you really have no common interests or activities then maybe your just too much not in common. Do you tend to have trouble thinking of things to say with most people? or just her?

Most of our dates have been activities. I've stayed out of NYC for the most part as when you do anything, it's mucho bucks. I don't think so. I mean, I try to keep our convo's short on the phone, but when we were speaking on Wednesday for plans on the weekend, our convo's lasted like 45 mins. So it's not like we had nothing to talk about. However, I am still watching what I am saying and initiating mostly everything. I know she's still interested in me as when she she already has plans, she tells me what she's doing and immediately suggests another day would work. And no, I did not ask, she told me the info on her own. I run into this a lot with all the women I date. It's not like we do not have things in common. We like the same things, our values are the same, we get along great, and we're always laughing and smiling. We've never had a time where there was silence. I think fast on my feet, so when we get through the first topic, I already have the next one loaded and ready. After a while of talking and dating, this will be our 8th date, we pretty much know all about each other already. Since she has no siblings, can't really talk about that. And how many times can you talk about Christmas? Though, she seems to go Christmas shopping a lot.
