How to talk to your date
With dating, there is an assumption that you are on the back foot, and the other person holds all the power.
- Pay attention to what people talk about. If your date is sharing negative information, it could be a sign they're not ready for a relationship.
- Try to focus on if you like them, instead of if they like you.
- Don't fear silent moments. Instead, see how the other person reacts. Does your date help you out and respond positively, or not?
- When you're on a date, you're both gathering information to work out whether you'll fit well together.
