 What do you talk about on first dates? The options are plenty, but sometimes it's just hard to remember everything. You want to ask insightful questions that make you seem inquisitive, not prying. You also want open questions that spark conversation, which could involve trying the famed 36 questions to make you fall in love. But that's a lot of questions to remember (and you don't want to keep pulling out your phone to check either). So, this relationship coach has just one go-to topic you should always approach: dreams. Karla Elia, from San Diego, is a certified relationship coach who helps women find a partner, having found and married her own match, Dustyn Elia, in just six months. She explained that talking about your dreams shows your hopes for the future without relying too much on the past. After all, no one wants to start a new relationship by covering old ground. Karla, who often shares tips on her TikTok, recently posted this advice onYouTube and Shera, a digital platform dedicated to empowering women. The 24-year-old added that knowing your relationship needs before the date is vital, as well as paying attention to both the red and green flags that crop up. She recommends avoiding men who are 'sweet talkers', men who speak about their past continuously, and men who try to look through your phone – indicating trust issues. On the one thing you should focus on when first meeting up with a date, Karla told viewers: 'Don't talk about your past – talk about your dreams. 'That is the one thing you should always speak about on first dates. Talk about what you want to do for yourself in your life.' Her methods are tried and tested (Picture: Jam Press/@herr.coaching) Speaking about how she and husband Dustyn's first meet-ups went, she said they spoke about dreams, what they wanted from life, having a family, where they'd like to live, and the businesses they'd like to build going forward.){kind=link}
