Topics:
1. Movies
• Dos: The Godfather and/or any other Oscar nominated movie
• Donts: Avoid any debates about controversial documentaries
2. Travel
• Dos: A place you’ve been too and somewhere you would love to go to. (Adding in why you would love to go there doesn’t hurt either!)
• Donts: Avoid any recaps of that one spring break trip to Mexico where you did things you probably wouldn’t want your mother knowing
3. Books
• Dos: Bring up any books you think he may like but doesn’t know about
• Donts: Avoid any obscure books that he obviously hasn’t read but think makes you look smart
4. Life Ambitions
• Dos: Whether your job has a long-term appeal
• Donts: Avoid any therapy session worthy rants about what you should be doing
