The Art of Conversation in dating
The foundation of a good date is being able to talk easily and
feel comfortable around each other. While these two things may seem different,
if you cannot talk easily, you will not feel comfortable around each other.
Therefore, good conversation is vital. Here’s what to do:
• It’s all about give and take.
You talk; your date talks, then you talk again, and so on.
Don’t monopolize the conversation, but make sure you are an active participant.
And elaborate, elaborate, elaborate. Avoid answering questions with only “yes”
and “no.”
• If your date does not want to discuss something,
don’t badger him/her about it.
There are just some topics people don’t want to
talk about. Respect that, say it is okay and
move on. Remember that people have all
sorts of issues (like family conflict and difficulties with school) and hitting on one unknowingly
is bound to happen. What makes or breaks
a date is if you respect your date’s
wishes and drop the subject.
• Don’t ask private questions of your date and
don’t give them private information about yourself.
If Mexican food
gives you gas, your date will be weirder
out knowing the intimate details of your intestinal system. The Wall of China was not build
in one night and the trust you two build does
not need to be either.
