Men,

Basic etiquette:

If you are on a date with a woman,

Put your phone down, switch off mobile data and wifi.

Give her attention.

Listen to her not so interesting stories. Just listen - ACTIVELY.

Therefore, when having a date with her, plan to LISTEN.

Your duty is to LISTEN. Be deliberate, selective and active.

Avoid distractions eg phones.

Here are 4 listening types you must embrace while with her:

1. Appreciative

2. Relationship

3. Critical

4. Discriminatory

1. Be appreciative:

Enjoy her words and stories.

Listen to her boring stories with a smiling face.

Enjoy!

2. Build a relationship:

Listen openly, once she sees your openness, she will begin telling her deep stories.

She will open up about her past relationships, her likes, her dislikes and other deep emotions.

3. Be critical:

Listen to her words. Pick points and relate them with her body language.

Listen to her body language.

Identify weak points, the lies, the defensive statements.

4. Be discriminatory:

Don't listen to distractions like phone calls, messages, TVs.

Look at her directly,

Concentrate on her voice, her pitch her tone and relate them with her facial expression and body language.
