I don't know how it is with men, of course, but with a lot of women it seems as though a lot of them have lost the fine art of communication. Whether you're with someone in person or online, here's a rule to follow. You need to both tell the other person about yourself AND acknowledge the other person as being interesting or important enough to learn about, which means you also need to comment on what they say AND ask them questions just like they're asking you questions.
Here's how it should play out, ladies. It's really not that hard.
1. The conversation begins. One person says something about themselves.
2. The other person A. Responds to what the person said, B. Talks about something similar or different pertaining to the subject and THEIR lives, and then either C. Let's the other person comment on what they just said or D. In return, ask a question about THEIR lives so make sure you express interest in who they are and what they are about.
Never, ever forget to throw step D. in the mix every now and then, ladies. Men want to feel like we're interesting enough to you to get to know just like YOU want us to be interested in knowing what YOU are about. So, don't ever let it be a one-way street. Participate and SHOW INTEREST! It's the only way you'll ever have a chance at forming a spark!
