Topic of Conversation?  

I learn more listening then talking and most people love to talk about themselves so I have the lady talk about herself and her interests and then let the chat flow from there.

I generally listen to the lady and chime in when needed.  Once a level of trust or comfort is established the conversation on both sides gets more detailed such as interests, some likes/dislikes, hobbies, and life in general.

than once, I know we would talk about our love for animals, and for any other lady I would be happy to discuss anything they wanted, but I am single and will discuss almost anything.

lace to dine. I am a foodie before there was a word to describe it. I love trying every type of cuisines from any and every place I travel throughout the world. I love trying something new or a classic dish that has a new spin on it.  

Since I'm quiet & introverted by nature, I find it's much easier to listen vs talk when meeting a lady, especially for the first time.

I'm most comfortable when she leads the conversation.  The key in my opinion though is depending upon the length of date, not to get too caught up in the ice breaking and include some foreplay as part of the conversation!

I would rather the provider (one I have never met before) talk about her life, current events and or hobbies first. That way I could pick up on any mutual interests for an ice breaker. I've noticed that most providers I've selected are very good talkers and can keep me interested. Reading the Boards, reading what a provider types on the Boards and reading the reviews also helps with future in person conversation (not to get off the subject).    

My dates are always dinner/show so we need something to talk about and I'm always curious about their life and such away from the hobby but I'm always worried that I might be crossing the line in asking such things and don't want to make things awkward for her. My life is an open book for the most part so I would rather they ask me questions and start the conversation that way they choose the topic they are comfortable sharing with me.

thank you for the feedback it's just been something I have always been curious about I have found that most of my clients do enjoy hearing about my non provider life and all my work with animals and of course I like to hear about what they do for fun when they are not working and they're not in Vegas I try to keep it light and upbeat and want to see some of them were the ones then we venture off to other fun.

question on what she likes and dislikes.

sorry for odd wordings on my post was using speech to text on my cell LOL

I know this is a hobby but we all are still human.
So not every person is the same and have different likes or dislikes.
The smart people will take a little time finding that out.
I don't care if this is in your personal or hobby life.

The Vegas ladies that I have seen, are generally interested in which other Vegas ladies I've seen.    

First, everyone's favorite topic of discussion is themselves.  Ask questions that invite someone to expound upon their virtues and you will always be considered an insightful companion.

true MfSD, so true, lol. Hope to see you when you are here.

My conversations usually lean toward "Best of", music, dining, Seafood dancing and so on
That is just me.

..as you know so well, LaRue.  But then again, I'm kind of atypical; I like the chitchat part of playdates just as much as the play part.  Seeing as how I'm the stereotypical "lonely middle-aged man whose wife doesn't understand him", I truly enjoy being the center of a beautiful woman's universe for a few hours.

Very insightful to get the guys opinions on this topic.
It is always a fine line you want to get to know one another by discussing certain topics but you don't want to make either side uncomfortable.Or talk too much.
Thanks guys for sharing
