Another observation is that women need to take some pauses in conversation. I know a lot of women who will just continue from one thing to another without giving a guy to actually respond. This almost forces the guy to interrupt.

Lastly, a very obvious comment is that men tend to talk to convey a particular piece of information, while women often use it to make/re-enforce a connection. Men could certainly use to realize that talking to your partner takes time, and I think women would be well advised to focus on what they feel is important, and not just speak in a stream of consciousness. That being said, I think a woman will generally be much happier with 20 minutes of your undivided attention, than 45 minutes of you being there, but not actually listening.

I have been in a long distance “relationship” for a few months now. The guy and me both hate onling dating, but go figure thats how we met. Both our friends/family would not be supportive of this if they knew the truth so we have been telling them we met up this summer. We have been talking online at first, then email, and phone. We used to spend hours on the phone every night. Now its not so much. I want to meet him and see where things go. I really have feeling for this guy, which is crazy to me, but I can’t deny it. But with his work schedule he is very unavailable this time of yr. It seems less and less likely its going to happen for us, but I wanna hold on and believe that love can find me. I have waited 2 yrs to find someone decent and worth dating, then I met this dream guy. I want to have faith and believe it will work itself out, but everyone I know tells me if he really was into me he’d make time to spend with me and hang out with me and start a relationship with me.

So I am looking for advice on what to do.
