Now that I'm single and looking again...
One thing I noticed in my last relationship that really made me unhappy, early on, was my boyfriends lack of interest in asking me questions about myself. Seems pretty normal when getting to know someone that you would ask the person questions about themself. Well, he did in the first month but then all of a sudden I guess he felt he knew all about me. Well, I know it was shocker when I broke up with him after a year. Yes,a year too long. But I have worked through all that and I'm feeling really good. So, now, thats one thing that I really need and I have said so on my dating profile. So, this new interest and I have been talking since yesterday, still very superficial and light. He just asked me to text him on his phone and I said I would because he said some really cute things blah blah blah. So, I responded and said
"Ok, I will do that. However, one of my big things right now is really feeling like someone genuinely wants to get to know me by actually asking questions and being interested in knowing the answers. Thats how you really connect with someone. Does that make sense? Is that what you are looking to do, really get to know someone?" Not sure if he was waiting for me to text him or what. He hasn't responded. That was about 30 minutes ago.
Let's see how entertaining this thread can get. haha!
