Having trouble dating someone new? John Molloy, author of "The Complete Single's Guide," suggests asking your date this question: What do you like most about dating? Asking dating-related questions rather than deep philosophical ones will work to your advantage because it makes him think dating is important and that you're interested in his dating experiences. It's also a great conversation starter and can help break the ice with a stranger or new acquaintance. "I had an avid reader of men's dating books on my show who asked guys she was meeting for coffee what they liked best about dating," said Molloy in his book. "Guys who seemed shy, indifferent, or even hostile magically transformed into expansive talkers when asked dating questions. Shy guys who had difficulty meeting women began dating dates easily when they asked this question, so spend some time thinking about dating in advance to have your list ready. It will increase your chances of dating." Although it's not typically assumed that men like dating or that dating is important to them, asking this one question can be a great way for you to get the conversation started and learn more about your date's dating experience. For example, if he responds by saying something like "I don't know," it might indicate that he either doesn't enjoy dating or doesn't do it often. On the other hand, if he says something like, "I love finding out what I'm really to," then it might mean that dating is important to him and that he goes on dates often. Be sure to take note of his answers so you can form your own opinions about dating based on what he says. For example, if he answers with something like "I don't know," it may mean you should be looking for someone who has more dating experience rather than less dating experience. Or if he answers by saying something like, "I love finding out what I'm really to," then dating might really matter to him and that's something to keep in mind as you interact with him. Asking this question also helps you learn more about the dating scene because it forces your date to give his opinion even if just a little bit. He may feel awkward discussing dating at first because it's not something he typically does on dates, but you can take this time to teach him that dating is an important part of getting to know someone. By asking your date what he enjoys most about dating, you're also giving him the opportunity to express himself and talk about his dating preferences without actually revealing too much. For example, if he says that dating makes him nervous, then you can simply respond by saying, "Well dating doesn't have to be like that." Or if he leaves out the fact that dating isn't worthwhile for him anymore because he thinks dating is difficult, then you may want to ask more questions until you get a better feel for how dating really works. This question helps break any tension or awkwardness between the two of you when dating, and it also lets you know just how much dating means to him and what his dating expectations are. Whether your date says dating is exciting and he likes the thrill, dating is one way for him to meet people, or dating can be a lot of fun, ask yourself why he's attracted to you. If he feels the same way about dating as you do, then there's a good chance that both of you will find dating easy and enjoyable as long as you're both comfortable with each other. On the other hand if your date tells you that dating isn't always enjoyable because it takes so much effort or something along those lines—don't give up on him yet! He may really find dating to be difficult and maybe he just hasn't found the right person yet. Simply ask yourself if dating is as important to you as it seems to him and whether or not dating means as much to you as it does to him. If dating isn't very important, then he may enjoy other activities like sports, traveling, spending time with friends, etc. Or your date may be looking for something more casual like NSA (no strings attached) dating because dating doesn't hold too much interest for him. On the other hand, if dating is extremely important and meaningful for your date, then there's a good chance that dating will come easy for both of you especially when you're such a big part of his life already. Adding dating into the equation will only strengthen your dating relationship. So if dating is important to him, dating is secretive or dating makes him nervous, you can treat it like any other date and still enjoy yourself. But be sure to keep some of his dating preferences in mind while dating so that way your dating experience brings both of you closer together instead of creating more distance Asking this question also helps you learn more about the dating scene because it forces your date to give his opinion even if just a little bit.
