1) Did the conversation flow?
2) If it did, did one of the parties have to do most of the talking?
3) Who was the conversation focused on: the girl or the guy?
4) Was the date one flowing conversation or was it more like an interview?
Ok, so I think most people would agree that a good conversation in dating would be a healthy balance in conversation between the young man and woman seeing each other.
When the guy talks non-stop for the first hour and a half of the date and I think my brain will dry out from the focus and attention this man requires, needless to say, that wouldn't be one of the greatest dates of my life.
I have also heard guys complain about girls who will not shut their beautiful mouths during the date.
The best scenario is when a guy talks about himself enough to make you feel like you aren't sitting with a total stranger and when he displays genuine (or at least pretend) interest in you and your life.
RJ posed this fascinating question before me: if a guy talks about himself the entire date and then dumps me, does that mean he hates himself?
