Being Open and Getting Personal

How many dates are over before they even start? The bochur or girl hesitate to “open up” 

because they don’t know where it’s all heading. They would rather wait for the 5th or 6th 

date before sharing any personal information or thoughts. Problem is, they may not get to 

the 2nd or 3rd date let alone the 5th or 6th date; which is so often the case.

There seems to be a misunderstanding as to what “opening up” is. “Opening up” does not mean sharing personal , private, sensitive information. “Opening up” means being conversational, show genuine interest, be engaging, share thoughts that are neutral and not intruding , and discuss generic topics of interest. “Personal information” does not need to be discussed unless you feel comfortable doing so and feel there is serious potential for marriage with the one whom you are dating.

Treat each date as if it’s the last. Give it all you’ve got. There may not be a second chance!!
