Long story short, I (28F) went on a date with a guy this weekend. We had nice banter. He is good looking and easy to talk to. He basically did not ask me any questions.
Examples
- He did ask about how my job is going after we discussed his at length. I replied (brief, no one wants to hear all the details), and he responded with another similar story about his job. Never circled back.
- I asked him about travel plans for the summer or any recent travel. He told me all about it and then switched topics.
I tend to ask a lot of questions on dates. I've been told this is how you have a positive social interaction. I have had a similar situation happen before. Chalked it up to nerves. At some point either I am not interesting or there is a different mindset at play for men.
When you're on a date are you trying to sell yourself and talk about your attributes? Are you trying to find out more about her to see if you will be compatible? Does your approach change depending on the girl?
Next time do I just start talking about myself halfway through the date and see if he gets a hint lol?
(Disclaimer: I do have a high level/technical pharma job. Many men tend to steer clear after I mention it. Which can be annoying but I do understand. But travel is such an easy "what about you?" kind of question!)
EDIT: He asked me out for another date over text after I got home! Seemed very enthusiastic. So it isn't just that he didn't like me and didn't care to ask. Who knows.
