Avoiding Blunders in Dating Conversations – The Four Deadly Sins

In an attempt to make a good impression, it’s quite normal for some people to make mistakes when they go out on a date. It is imperative that you avoid making one of these conversational mistakes if you want to take the relationship to the next level. Let’s look at four of the biggest and most common mistakes.

Mistake Conversation #1: Double Entendre

There is one fatal conversational mistake you can make and this is inexcusable. For certain people it has become a habit and difficult to erase. There are people who insert their own conversation by phase; “Believe me, I’m telling you the truth.” If he’s telling the truth, why act like he’s guilty of doing the opposite? It just doesn’t fit. On several occasions I have been in the company of such a person that he would intermittently intersperse his own conversation with the phrase, “I’m not lying….”. Over the course of the evening’s conversation, you might find yourself using the phrase at least a dozen times before you can’t help but notice it. As one of my friends commented, “If he’s not lying, why does he have to say so?” What drives him to repeat the phrase over and over again unless he wants to camouflage his lying spree?

Whether you want to forcefully drive home a point or cover up your lie or the inaccuracy of your statement, using the phrase, even once, not only sounds strange but is not in line with good conversational practice. In a way, you betray your doubts about your own statement. In another you insult the sincerity of the audience. Both ways will never work in your favor and people will think twice before volunteering to sit down with you for another conversation.

Be sensitive to this habit and never engage in the bad habit of “I’m not lying” because if you do, people will quickly call you a liar and quickly walk away.

Mistake Conversation #2: Watch Your Body Language

In a conversation, when you are saying something or trying to make a point, your body language says a lot about you and the sincerity of your statements. The truth is usually told in a relaxed and undisturbed manner. The statements are quite casual but convincing, expressed in a self-confident posture. Once indicated, it should not be repeated unless requested. Statements presented in a confused manner and with a nervous posturing are rarely taken seriously. For one, the people listening to you will have no idea what you’re saying. On the other hand, your voice and body language quickly give you away as a jerk who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and is juggling unsubstantiated gossip to make it sound real.

Mistake Conversation #3: Avoid Bragging

Don’t be too eager to show off your knowledge and show that you are more knowledgeable in all subjects above the rest. He can get carried away with the mistaken idea that people will admire him a lot because of his great intelligence. Keep in mind that displaying your knowledge at the wrong time and in the wrong place is totally unnecessary. In a conversation, unlike a debate, everyone wants to feel good and would be upset if you put them in the back seat or make them feel inferior in the eyes of everyone present.

Mistake Conversation #4: Stepping on Others’ Toes

To make matters worse, in your eagerness to show off, there is a very strong tendency to step on the fingers of others. There is also a tendency to highlight their stupidity through their tone of voice and body. If you do that, you will definitely break the camel’s back and they will disappear one by one from the scene until you are left just talking to the wall like crazy.

Avoid making one of these blunders if you want to make a good impression on your crush.
