Ruthieo10 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I need tips on how to know if the man I am talking with is interested in what I am saying or if he is just getting bored with our conversation Link to post Share on other sites
Arabess Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 If he's bored with the conversation you are having, he will cut it short by saying he has something else to do and then he'll quit calling. Sometimes it's easy to feel you are boring someone on the phone, when really, you are keeping someone company....they are getting to know you....and may just enjoy the sound of your voice. If you feel you are running out of things to say....carry around a small memo pad during the day and jot down a few things you think are "interesting"......about your family, past, current events and just general things thru out your day which are unique. Also, ask him questions about his first car...HAHA....men talk for HOURS about THAT ONE....and usually have pics! Hope this helps. Good Luck!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
DJ-TK Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Yeah, I would agree with Arabess... My girl and I sometimes talk for hours and often, after she has been telling something for 10-15 minutes, she ask if I'm getting board or something, when actually I'm fascinated by what she has to say.... You can see by person's reaction if he is board or not.... If he asks questions, respond to what you say, laugh, yawning, DOING OTHER STUFF ! If someone is also IMing or playing video games or whatever while you talk, he might also be not that interested ALTHOUGH (!!!) some people just do stuff all the time while talking on the phone rather than just sit and listen.... If you are talking to a person and he doesn't respond to things which you feel he can respond to (Like be amazed when it's a really weird story or something), that also might be a sign he is not listening. Anyhow, don't get too caught up in these ways of knowing if the other person is listening to you because you would get obsessed and ask every 2 minutes if he is listening.. just try by his reactions to understand what's going on... Hope I helped.... Link to post Share on other sites
