Whether it's speed dating, normal dating or online dating, conversation is always important. Here are some simple tips on conversation topic when you're out dating or trying to get a date.

1. Favorites

One of the best dating tips a person can receive is to seem interested in a person's life when it comes to the date. Asking about their favorite things is a great way to gain insight into your date's personality and interests. Ask about everything from their favorite book to their favorite job to their favorite films and music.

2. Pop culture and the news

Ask them about what is going on in the news and in pop culture and what they think about it. For example, if it's an election year, you could ask about their opinions; if a celebrity has had a meltdown, you could ask their thoughts about this. Scan the headlines before your date and ask your date if they have heard the latest news or pop culture tidbits.

3. Work

Talking about work can be sexy, especially if someone is in their dream job. Ask about what they do, what they'd like to be doing in the next five years and what drew them into this career. You can find out a lot about a person by where they work, what they do, and whether or not they like their job.

4. Goals

A great way to get to know your date and keep the conversation moving is to ask about what this person wants for the future. You can ask about both personal goals and professional goals. Once your date answers, ask them how they came to decide on these goals. The more follow-up questions and the more specific these questions are, the better.

5. Hypotheticals

One of the best ways to get to know a person and to keep a conversation moving is to ask what they would do if they had a million dollars or other hypothetical situations. You can make these serious or funny. In fact, these go-to questions can really lighten a mood and help you to see more of a person's personality and interests.
