Who needs a book? I’ll give you ten topics you can discuss on dates off the top of my head:
Experiences growing up
Relationship with family members
Tastes in music
Funny stories that happened to you
What you expect out of married life
Foods you like/dislike
Hobbies, interests, passions, pet peeves
Expectations regarding learning, working, etc.
People you admire
and, of course, the YWN Coffeeroom 🙂 (ok, so the last one’s a joke)
The Wolf
Wolf, there’s nothing wrong with talking about the CR on dates, especially if there are interesting topics that can be discussed. What better way to spend a date then to discuss the shidduch crisis, age gap, etc.
