When you’re dating someone, you want to know if s/he could be the one or if he’s just another one of those losers you used to date. During dates, how do you know if s/he is giving signs of love or signs of boredom? These points are more for girls dating guys, but with how blurred gender traits are when it comes to dating, might be helpful for everyone.

If s/he’s bored, you’d know, right? Well not exactly. Some dates would be polite enough to make you think otherwise. So watch closely and you’ll know exactly how this night is going to end.

What is s/he saying? How much is s/he sharing and what exactly is s/he sharing? Talking is more important during dating because it builds connection and chemistry — two things which are more important than mere physical attraction.

Is s/he an attentive listener? If s/he’s interested, he’ll want to know more about you. He’ll ask questions and s/he’ll listen to what you have to say because s/he wants to get to know you. It’s as simple as that. A date who just nods to anything you say is probably not having a good time.

Who brings up the schedule of the next date if there is one? If you want another date, wait for him/her to ask you. It’s not a question of being conservative. It’s more of knowing if s/he wants you as you think s/he does. So be patient and wait if s/he asks you again. If s/he doesn’t, then better luck next time.

Be honest at the end of the night. It’s better to be honest than to say you had a good time for the sake of being polite. You can’t force love sparks to happen if you don’t have it.
