Date Person One's Ending Bad Thinks Talking Pay

As described in today's dialogue, sometimes one person thinks that everything is going well on a date while the other person thinks the date is horrible. How can you know what the other person is thinking? Here are three "signs" (signals) that you might want to look for on your next date to help you understand whether or not the date is going well.

First, if your date spends most of the time talking about his or her "ex" (the person whom one dated previously, or one's former husband or wife), then you might want to end the date soon. Someone who "obsesses" (thinks about something too much) about an ex probably isn't ready to start dating someone else. Or, worse, he or she might be comparing you to the ex.

Secondly, pay attention to whether your date is answering your questions. If you ask about his or her job and your date "changes the subject" (begins talking about a different topic), he or she is probably hiding something from you. If it happens just once, it's probably okay. But if your date changes the subject many times, maybe you can't trust him or her. Or maybe you don't have "anything in common" (shared interests).

Finally, pay attention to your date's "body language" (what ones does with one's body while speaking). If your date "crosses his or her arms" (puts one's arms in front of one's body with the fingers of each hand near the elbow of the other arm), this might mean that he or she feels uncomfortable or doesn't agree with what you are saying. The same is true if you date won't make "eye contact" (look into another person's eyes).
