Ditto, talk about their stuff, not yours. Steer clear of politics and religion.

Some good advice already given. Best bet is to keep your mouth closed and your ears open.

Actually, that's pretty good advice ALL OF THE TIME! Wink [;)]

And if she does get around to asking about you, don't say you build models, say you craft scale reproductions.

So long folks!

  You should let her do the most the talking if you can. Try not to talk about model building to much. Believe it or not, not to many chicks are into model building! Most could care less about your latest build or how many kits you have in your closet. They may even feel its kind of nerdy. So focus on her. Chicks love the attention. Just ask my wife, who I let do all the talking 20 years ago.

   Good Luck!

First date, eh? Congrats.

I'd say do more question asking than talking about yourself. I did that on a blind date with a beautiful little lady back in November of '85.

August 12th was our 19th wedding anniversary. Smile [:)]

Seriously though, most people enjoy the company of someone who is interested in them. Don't NOT talk about your stuff, but put them first.

Well, I got my first date for dinner tomorrow.

And, I spent most of my time building kits: figures, gundams, panzers... Think I am only a little good with my airbrush, know some modeling techniques, can name quite a few panzers...

Should I talk about the stuff I am building?  What's should I avoid talking about?

TIA fellow modelers!
