10 Topics You Should (and Shouldn’t) Discuss in Online Dating Chats

Keep the conversation engaging — and avoid killing the vibe too soon.

When you're starting a conversation with a woman online, especially on a dating platform VeronikaLove, your words matter. The right message can spark a real connection — the wrong one can end things before they begin. So how do you know what to say (and what to avoid)?

Here’s a simple guide: 5 topics that usually work well in early conversations — and 5 that can kill the mood fast.

Topics Worth Talking About

Travel and Places You’d Like to Visit
Most people love talking about travel. It opens up dreams, experiences, and shared interests. Even if she hasn’t traveled much, asking where she’d like to go can be exciting and personal.

Music, Movies, and Books
These are light but revealing topics. You’ll learn a lot about her personality — whether she’s into romantic comedies, classic rock, or thrillers. Bonus: you might find common favorites to bond over.

Food and Favorite Dishes
Asking about favorite meals or local cuisines is an easy, enjoyable topic. It can naturally lead to ideas about future dates or cooking together — even if just hypothetically at first.

What She Enjoys Doing in Her Free Time
Instead of asking “What do you do?”, try “What do you love doing when you’re not working?” It shifts the focus to what makes her happy — hobbies, passions, or activities she truly enjoys.

Cultural Curiosities and Fun Differences
Since VeronikaLove connects people from different countries, exploring cultural quirks — holidays, habits, humor — can be a playful way to get closer. Just stay respectful and curious.

Topics to Avoid (At Least Early On)

Politics and Controversial News
Unless you know each other well, these topics tend to divide more than connect. They can turn a light conversation into a debate — or worse, an argument.

Money and Material Status
Asking how much someone earns, what they own, or what kind of house they live in feels shallow. It can make her think you’re focused on the wrong things — or trying to impress her.

Past Relationships
There’s a time to share personal history — but the early stage of chatting isn’t it. Talking too much about an ex makes it seem like you’re not over her, or that you’re comparing.

Complaining About Life or Work
Everyone has bad days. But leading with negativity — “I hate my job,” “Life sucks lately” — brings down the energy. It’s better to show what excites you, not what drains you.

When in doubt, keep it respectful, light, and sincere. You’re not just filling time — you’re opening the door to connection. Women on VeronikaLove are looking for someone interesting, thoughtful, and emotionally aware. The right conversation is your chance to show that you’re that man.
