One of the best ways to keeping both you and your date conversing is by asking questions.

Ask questions such where they work, what are their hobbies, what do they like to do to relax, etc. Asking questions will make sure that there aren’t any of those long awkward pauses that happen during first dates. You may even get ideas as to what that person enjoys, this information may even help you plan a great second date that you both will enjoy.
When asking questions be sure to look interested in what the person is saying. Don’t look bored, or give gestures such as yawing or looking away; it’s rude and your date will surely not appreciate it. A good tip when asking questions is to only ask questions that you may in turn feel comfortable to answer about yourself. Chances are you may be answering the same question after you have asked it. Use this as an advantage and ask questions first. By asking first you will be steering the conversation in the direction you want it to go. Be smart and lead the talk.
