Most people looking for sex online don’t put too much thought into setting the stage for a good date, but chances are you’ll be meeting your partner in a public place, so preparing yourself for a date is essential to making sure you’re going to seal the deal.

What can you do to make sure that your first meeting goes off without a hitch? Talk! Studies from the University of Washington show that the better the conversation two people have, the better the chemistry will be between them. And we all know that chemistry leads to a great time in bed!

Having a list of topics to talk about going into the date won’t just keep the night flowing smoothly, it will keep you confident should the conversation run flat. Check out what our Sexperts think are the 5 best conversation starters to avoid awkward silences on a first date:

1. “What’s your newest interest?”

In today’s ever changing work, it seems like people are picking up new hobbies almost weekly. Whether it was an idea that sparked from Pinterest or a celebrity started a new fashion trend, fads have come and gone faster than lightening this year. By simply asking what their newest interest is, you’re opening the door to a conversation about something they enjoy. Experts say this helps them mentally associate your conversation with a comfortable familiarity, making them more likely to relax in your presence.

2. “What are you most looking forward to in the month?”

Asking questions about where they grew up and where they’ve lived helps you get to know the person they used to be, but asking something about their immediate future helps you get to know the person they currently are.

“By simply inquiring as to what’s going in their lives, you’re able to develop an idea of their lifestyle and personality,” said Dr. Sandra Kemper of the University of Washington.

3. “What’s the exact opposite of your usual type?”

Asking someone what their idea date is seems a little masochistic. Unless they describe your personality, there’s a good chance you’re not going to be happy with their answer. Instead of asking them about what they look for in a person, ask about what personality trates they don’t want their match to posses. It not only gives you insight into what they’re looking for in a partner, but gives you a good idea on how act on the night to insure you’re not going to do anything to scare them off from getting back to the bedroom with you.

4. What are you going to do when you leave here tonight?

Even if you have no interest in seeing them after you’ve gotten it in, studies prove that showing interest in their lives plans for the future, whether it be immediate or distant, promotes the sense of a connection, making people more inclined to be open to the idea of sleeping with you.

5. What’s your fantasy?

Conversation within a first date is essential to keeping them interested in taking the night further than the first meet-and-greet. Ask questions to keep them intrigued and avoid an awkward first date!
