For any of you who are good at getting laid off of tinder (presumable after having a date) can you detail how the conversation usually looks after you meet for the first time?

I've only had a few dates, and they are always a bit like boring job interviews, and i'm not sure how to fix it. Unfortunately, none of my friends seem to fair much better and so they can't really help me either! (their dates are 'painful' too)

You meet her. What is the first thing you talk about? How Her day has been? Or do you just address the whole 'meeting a stranger' angle and ask about her tinder dating history? Or go straight into asking her what she does for a job?

If possible, i'd like some detailed answers to give me a really good idea of how your conversations look. I'm assuming it becomes easier after say 10-15 minutes or so, but my problem is that since the first 10-15mins ar so awkward, it's usually impossible to recover. She's already decided it's a 'bad date' in her head and want sto go home.

So yeah - give me detailed conversation examples from your actual dates. Explain how you make it 'fun', too (again, with actual examples).
