[quote=Anonymous]I'm 48 and occasionally go on dates with guys I meet, usually in the 38-55 age range.  What would you normally talk about with your friends or coworkers or neighbors?  On my dates, we'll usually do the quick "what's my situation" stuff - how long has he been divorced, how many kids, how old, what nights he has them.  (this is important for me because if our custody schedules are conflicting, it'll be impossible to date.)

We usually touch on work - what do you do and where.  Where did you grow up, where'd you go to school, where else have you lived.  Have you traveled anywhere interesting?  What do you do in your spare time?  Have you seen any interesting movies lately?  Watching anything good on netflix?  Read any good books?  If someone seems like-minded we might touch on politics, but that can be risky.  (or a really good insight into whether you want to see them again.)

And other posters have mentioned - try not to talk about your ex too much.  Especially if you're still mad at her or the situation.  There's nothing worse than when you have gotten a sitter and gotten all done up and you find yourself sitting there listening to a guy who clearly is nowhere near over his ex.  I know women do this too.  :-)[/quote]
