First Date Conversation Guide

I have a first date coming up and I want to actually connect, not just interview them.

About the date:
- How we met: [app / mutual friends / work]
- What I know about them: [BRIEF]
- Venue: [e.g. coffee / dinner / walk]
- My biggest fear: [e.g. awkward silences / coming across as boring]

Give me:
1. **10 questions** that spark real conversation (not boring small talk)
2. **5 things to share about myself** that are interesting without oversharing
3. **How to handle silences** — what to say when conversation stalls
4. **Green flags to notice** — signs they're genuinely interested
5. **Red flags to watch for** — early warning signs to pay attention to
6. **How to end the date well** — what to say to leave them wanting more
7. **The text to send after** — timing and exact wording
