There is must know information that ever single should be able to rattle off at any moment during a date. Don’t’ be left racking your brain for something to talk about. Say goodbye to awkward silence during a date.

Top 10 Things to Know on a Date

1. Current Events…and we’re not talking celebrity stuff. Know what’s going on in your city and across the globe. Staying on top of current events is as huge turn-on to both sexes. It shows that you are intelligent and that you care about what is going on around you and around the world. We aren’t talking about which celebrity is dating whom or who wore what to the Oscar’s, we mean real news. Don’t have time to read the newspaper? Get online. Log on to Yahoo News and get caught up quickly before your next date.

2. Know what sport is in season and know the name of your team. Ok, this may seem really basic, but seriously know what sports are going on. It’s a major turn-off to a man to think that football is going on during the summer. Ladies---you’ll impress a guy by knowing not only what sport, but what team plays in your city.

3. Have at least have heard of 3 of The New York Times bestsellers. This doesn’t mean that you have read them; it simply means that you are paying attention to what books are hitting the best seller list. It’s a great conversation started, “Have you read _______? I’ve seen it on the best seller list for weeks and have wanted to pick it up, but haven’t talked to anyone who has read it. Do you recommend it?”

4. Know how to correctly pronounce the last place you traveled. This should be an easy one and a great way to start the conversation. “I just went to Nice, have you ever been there before?” Now if you mispronounce the city and say “nice” you many not be getting very far in the conversation.

5. Know the difference between a Cabernet and a Chardonnay. Knowing a little bit about wine will make selecting a bottle for you and your date to share much easier. We suggest going to a wine tasting. You’ll learn about all the different varieties of wine, and get to taste them as well. If there is not wine tasting bars close by, pick up the movie Sideways, you’ll learn all about wine, in particular Merlot.

6. Have at least one interesting piece of trivia to talk about (i.e. the human adult head weighs 15-20 lbs.) Knowing one quick piece of trivia will get any date out of a conversation slump. Any time there is silence, throw out a random fact, it’ll be sure to keep the conversation flowing.

7. Know how to tell one joke well. Keep the jokes clean. No one wants to go on a date with someone who tells vulgar jokes on a first date. Keep the jokes to something you would tell your boss or your grandma.

8. Know the big art scene (music, theatre, movies) in your area. Even if you are not into the arts, know what is going on in your city. Check to see what hit off Broadway musical is coming to your area, any upcoming concerts or the new art exhibit at the museum. Even if you are not into the arts, this will definitely impress them. It shows you are well rounded.

9. If the restaurant menu is stumping you—just point. French restaurants can be quite confusing when it comes to ordering. Skip the embarrassment of mispronouncing the entrée and simply point to the item you select. Or if your date orders what you want, “I’ll have the same.”

10. Where you parked your car. No one wants to see their date wander around the parking lot after they just said goodbye. If you’re concerned you may forget where you parked out of nervousness, valet the car.
