What should you talk about on a first date? On this episode of the Male Female Hour, Dennis Prager challenges the conventional approach to dating, arguing that too many people focus on superficial conversation instead of discussing what truly matters when looking for a lasting relationship.

Dennis explains why shared tastes in movies, television, and food may have less to do with long-term compatibility than people think. If you're dating with the hope of finding a spouse, he argues, you should focus on understanding your potential partner's character, values, priorities, and outlook on life. He also emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself and understanding what you want in a relationship.

Listeners call in to share their experiences and offer different perspectives on first dates, from observing manners and personal presentation to discussing religion, politics, family, and future goals. One caller shares how a list of personal priorities helped him evaluate potential partners, while another explains why she chose to ask serious questions early in her dating life.

Is it better to keep things light or get straight to the important questions? How much do shared interests matter, and is attraction enough to build a lasting relationship? Dennis explores these questions in a lively discussion about dating, compatibility, and finding the right person.
