You can talk about yourself and get some insight into his/her interests. You can, for instance, suggest going to a football stadium with your friend if you both love sports. Or if she/he enjoys reading books, you can visit a library.

Also, avoid talking about religion or politics. It is also important not to discuss any personal problems.

It is important to engage in small talk throughout the meal. This will allow you to learn more about him/her and build up a rapport.

After dinner, you can take a walk or visit a coffee shop. After you return home, send your family a text message saying thank you for all the time you spent with them.
