5. Being a Good Listener
One of the best ways to make your conversation meaningful and interesting is to ask your date open-ended questions. This kind of questions lets the person give detailed answers about life, hobbies, interests and preferences. This is how you learn about your date’s character and attitude. Demonstrate your sincere interest in what your date tells you and be a good listener. Your body language plays an important role. Your posture should be open. Nod if you agree and understand your date. Brief paraphrasing of answers encourages people to continue talking. Develop your listening skills as well as patience.
6. Being Flirtatious
Demonstrate your playfulness by being slightly flirtatious. It will prove that you feel relaxed and comfortable with the person. It will also help your date not to worry. Right now it’s essential for both of you to calm down and feel natural rather than tense. Attraction can be shown in a non-verbal manner and your eyes, gestures and posture can do this very well. Observe your date’s body language and you’ll know what he/she feels for you and whether they feel attracted to you or not. Mimicking your date will send the signal that you are interested.
