Which conversation topic actually keeps a first date going past the awkward small talk?

Nothing reveals someone's personality faster than where their family dragged them every August. Caravans, sunburn, and questionable arcades — it's basically therapy disguised as nostalgia.

Do they think pineapple on pizza is fine? That The Office UK is better than The Office US? Unpopular opinions cut straight through the polite facade and show you who you're actually dealing with.

Skip the career talk — ask them what they'd do with £10 million and you'll know within 60 seconds if you're compatible. Chalet in the Alps or paying off their mum's mortgage says a lot.

Everyone has a horror story involving a hairnet, a rude manager, or a very unfortunate customer. It's relatable, it's funny, and it tells you how they handle rubbish situations.

The shows people watch when no one's judging them are a window straight into the soul. Bonus points if they can quote an episode of Taskmaster without prompting.
