Dating Tips: Why They Don't Call Back

Don't talk too much. There is nothing wrong with a lively conversation. But remember that a conversation involves two people talking - not just you doing all the talking and leaving your date sitting there quietly.

Also, the choice of your conversation should be something your date can easily relate to. Ladies, don't expect the guy to know a whole lot about the designer shoes you just bought. Guys, don't make your date feel bad not knowing your favorite sports players. Pick a topic that you feel both of you have an interest in, which shouldn't be too hard given that you're on a date because you already have something in common.

Don't talk about about past relationships. The last thing your date wants to happen is to be compared to another person. Believe it or not, when you talk a whole lot about your past relationships you are actually comparison shopping - something that's great for your next pair of shoes, but not with a living and breathing human being. Make your date feel special and avoid the past relationship talk.

Try not to send mixed messages. Be aware of what kind of messages you are sending your date. Although you are not expected to be an expert on how the opposite sex's mind works, you should be aware that there are signals that send out strong messages, which you may not realize at the time. For example, you may be the type who just naturally connects to people by touching them. However, your date may read that kind of connection to mean something else. Being careful of these kinds of signals not only saves them the embarrassment of a mistaken assumption but also protects you from a possible advance you don't want to encounter.

It is important to make a good impression on a first date, but don't overdo it. You are not on a date to present your resume and convince them that you're a great person to be with. The fact that they are out with you says that they think you're okay. Keeping the conversation to topics that only concern you shows that you are more interested in yourself rather than on them. Also, don't volunteer negative information. You may feel that you are simply being honest with your date. But this is not the occasion to be revealing less than noteworthy things about yourself. You could tell them about how you have been in therapy for five years, but don't expect them to return your call anytime soon.

Keep focused on your new date. Don't direct your interest to other people while on the date, stay focused on your date. Although this is more common with men, it is by no means exclusive to them. Women are also guilty of this and it is simply not polite to do so, it's extremely inconsiderate.

These pointers should help you get started on identifying what you may be doing wrong. If any of these may sound familiar to you, make the effort to avoid repeating these things in future dates.

You can simplify things when dating with one important thing to keep in mind. Your purpose for dating this person is to get to know them better. Make this your primary concern and that alone will make your date feel very special. Chances are, they in turn, will want to know more about you, leading to one great date after another.
