We talk a lot about what NOT to say on a date (i.e. your college stint in rehab, record number of ex-boyfriends, etc), but one thing that men go ga-ga for in terms of date conversation, is a gal who can teach him something! I’m not talking about preparing a complete lesson, but rather, simply strutting your smarts. The easiest way to do this, without having to put too much energy into it, is just to mention something that you learned that day. Maybe you heard something interesting on the radio, read something fascinating in the paper… could even be something a little more lightweight but still interesting, like a new trick you picked up from your local barista on making better coffee. The point is that you want to showcase your brains, not just your beauty.
