You have always prided yourself on reading body language
. You can pick up the most subtle of vibes positive or negative.
That does not mean however you are good at making the necessary course corrections. And the last date you had proved it.
Things started out pretty good. You and your date shared some laughs and the conversation was pretty lively. But somewhere along the way your intuition starting telling you that your date was not having a good time. Shortly after you got that message along came another one directly from your date. They are ready to go home.
Going home was not pretty. You tried to renew the conversation but by now your date had their wall of silence up and the bricks seemed to be getting thicker by the minute.
What went wrong? More than likely the same thing that always goes wrong. Your never-ending questions.
Questions are part of the dating process. You have to find out something about the person you are with. And if they are not offering the information readily than how else are you going to find out?
But that's not the issue. The problem is nobody wants to go on a date and feel like they are applying for a government job. That happens when the questions keep coming and each one gets more intrusive than the other.
People by and large like to talk about themselves. It's just a matter of knowing what buttons to push.
Also on a date the conversation needs to flow. There should be a good back and forth between the two individuals. The way you keep peppering them with questions is not going to accomplish that goal.
