The first time people meet on a Shidduch I think is a time for (light talk) talking about their biological families. So that the two of you can get to know who you are talking to at a more personal level. Meaning talk (in a polite and courteous manner) about where you were born, where you were educated (Cheder, Bais Yaakov, Secular Elementary- High School) Your Life Story…Talk about your Parents, Siblings, Dod, Dodah, Saba, Safta, Nechadim… Keep it light without talking about goals and future Marriage Plans at this point. There is a tacit understanding why you decided to go out and meet, so no need to state the obvious. I think the purpose of the first meeting is to determine if you want the potential Shidduch to advance.
