irc333 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I actually was able to get a response from a woman on POF, even got her phone #. We've been talking back and forth on POF and such, getting to know each other, conversation is flowing nicely, but she's not much for asking personal questions about me in order to get to know me, but I'm always asking questions of her. She sounds very sweet and friendly, conversation does flow very nicely. She likes to talk about herself and her interests (whenever I ask), but doesn't seem self-absorbed because perhaps maybe her interests mirror my own. I'm guessing eventually she'll start asking me questions, right? Well, one of the obvious dating tips, even BEFORE online dating even existed is that let a woman talk about herself, because women like to talk about themselves. I recall having been on a date with a woman that was the same way, she said she was never much one to ask questions, and that the person she's talking too will eventually tell her what she would need to know anyhow.
Eternal Sunshine Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 I personally hate asking or being asked the standard questions: do you have any brothers or sisters; what do you do for fun. I hate even more the non standrad template OLD questions like what would you do if you had a million dollars; 3 wishes? Etc I like random conversation that doesn't require questions except when it's flowing as part of that conversation.
sayitasitis Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 You should read my thread! http://www.loveshack.org/forums/general/general-relationship-discussion/400693-guys-only-talking-about-themselves-instead-getting-know-you I'm in a similar situation. I never got the memo. Didn't know as a woman I should talk incessantly about myself. I only want to be shown interest, not talk someone's ears off. If I'm showing someone interest (by asking a decent number of questions and listening intently), I'd like the same thing back. Isn't that the basis of a good relationship?

Yeah, I think this is how THIS one is going with me and her....which is nice for a change...no standard stuff. Somehow we're able to spawn off topics of sorts as opposed to asking each other questions about each other
