Dating is supposed to be about getting to know the other person. So, when dating, make sure that you are interested in what your date has to say. When dating, it's important to listen intently when your date speaks. Really show interest when he or she is talking, and ask questions if there is any part of the story you don't understand. If you notice that your date keeps telling stories about themselves for an extremely long time without asking anything about you, then this might mean that they are not yet at a place where they can have a two-way conversation with someone else. Maybe dating them might just be too 3Dimensional for their taste. Ladies, keep in mind that dating is a two-way street, so you have to give him his half of the conversation too. Gentlemen, it's not just your turn to talk about yourself all the time. Show interest in what she has to say as well. After all, dating is supposed to be about getting to know each other better. Make sure that both of you are being heard!

Article background information [to use as knowledge, not to be copied verbatim]: I have had dates where I felt doomed into the listener-zone, where my date went on and on about his work, family, pausing only to sip his drink and then jabbering on. They hardly seemed interested in what I had to say. That is a big turn off. When you start dating, follow the ‘conversation is a two-way street’ rule of thumb.

This is especially true when dating, where one-sided conversations are all too common. As a dating pro, I have been on both sides of one-sided dating conversations. I've spent time as a dating listener and as someone who can't find his rhythm with a date to save my life. Bad dates make great stories, but they leave lasting impressions for those involved. Below are some guidelines to help avoid being left listening at a dating event: DO take note of how busy your date seems to be throughout the conversation. If he or she isn't letting you get a word in edge-wise, it's probably best to reposition yourself at the dating event to meet new dating prospects. DON'T monopolize your dating conversation with your accomplishments or how you make your dating paycheck. Unless of course, they ask what dating do for a living. In that case, it's OK to go ahead and tell them about dating career as long as it doesn't become a bragging session. DO listen to the dating experiences being shared by those surrounding you. This is probably the best way to get a feel for what type of person your date really is without having to do much work yourself! DON'T boast about dating own accomplishments during a conversation with someone else. You don't want to be seen as over-eager - just interested in learning more about the other. DO try asking your dating date dating related questions. This is a great way to get a dating conversation going in a dating-friendly direction. DON'T discuss dating dating problems - people find it so much easier to listen to happy dating stories! So avoid negativity and save dating gripes for your girlfriends. DO try being the dating listener once in a while. It's good to take turns having an enthusiastic dating conversation, don't you think?
