Speed Dating and How to Tell Quickly
Your instinct about a new date should not be ignored because it is just putting together all the signs that you have not picked up on in your conscious mind.
Here is how to analyze it a little and make an informed decision. Smiles: There are shark smiles like "I know I have got you even though you are unaware of it" and there are genuine smiles like "I am thoroughly enjoying this" so think about how much the other person smiles and how natural their smile looks. The fact is that if you are compatible then smiles will increase the more you talk. If they are more strained or decrease in regularity then you can nearly give that person a big miss based on that alone. Tension: This is a good indicator of compatibility because if you become more tense as conversation proceeds then there is a problem in your personality mix, while if you find yourself relaxing more as conversation continues then this is a good sign that all is well between you. Everyone is normally tense the first few times they meet so look for how much the tension increases or decreases as you talk. Attraction: This one can be a bit tricky when you consider appearance, conversation, body language, believability, self image and a few other things thrown in too. An attractive appearance soon loses its appeal if the person is not interested in you, a less attractive appearance can be overcome later by an attractive personality as the relationship grows, admiration of a person's abilities and achievements can also be attractive until you find out how compatible you are to each other. The big mistake is to become more desperate with an attractive new date because you fear you are losing them. The best sign is that you are feeling more comfortable as time passes, not less so. If you are becoming more tense and worried about losing an attractive date then the best thing you can do is to let them go because your instincts are telling you that it will not work out, but your conscious mind is trying to argue and come up with logical reasons why it is not working. In the long run you need compatibility to survive so short term tricks will not benefit you very much. Look for a more general attraction with the other person, look at how easily you talk (or one of you talks), watch for smiles, look for decreasing tension, if these things are all good then take a chance and be bold. |
