Me: rolling my eyes

How do I respond to "Tell me about yourself?"

That's often how conversations begin when two prospects are introduced.

This is one of the hardest questions to answer.

Why? Because it makes you wonder—what should I share to keep this person genuinely interested in me?

➡️ Should I talk about my upbringing
➡️or about my family
➡️or about my friends
➡️or about my interests
➡️or about my finances
➡️or about personality
➡️or maybe my dreams for the future
➡️ and the list goes on...

Not asking the right questions is one of the biggest reasons for dating exhaustion. Would you agree?

For singles looking to date with intent, work on your question-asking skills,be specific. And when you receive an answer, share your own thoughts too.

This turns the exchange into a conversation rather than an interview. And conversation is what you are seeking...is it not.

Date consciously and see the magic unfold.
