how do you handle a "date" that feels as if it has turned into a "1000 question job interview"---seriously.

i think it is definatly a deal breaker..how do you handle this without sounding like a b****?

because it is VERY annoying.

My method would be to start dancing the Electric Boogaloo until she shuts up

good tatic....but wont work for me...

You could just do the Robot instead.

If it's a deal breaker, make sure you don't 'get the job'. If you don't want to come across as a b@#^*, then come across as something else.. crazy, bored, etc.

THAT would qualify as crazy.

i can scare a guy away if i want(no problem)...but sometimes i dont..so i think i should hold off on the robot.

Pull out a list of your own 1000 questions!

That ought to shut the question mill down a lot.


When guy is pumping that hard for information something is up...

I would say this is not a matter for the dog alarm. It is the sign of a manipulator gathering information. At least that is what is seems to me on face value.

On the serious side, the best way I've found to get someone to stop doing something annoying is to do it right back at them.

Why don't you just stop them and say you prefer to just talk and get to know someone rather than ask 1000 questions....it's more personal and friendships & relationships need to be personal and not like a job interview. Maybe they are nervous and aren't sure what to do.

all good points...something to consider.

Or you could say 'screw all these questions, lets f**k!'

I wouldn't go out with him again.

I have been caught in that situation. I had stopped in the moment, and thought to myself, "well apparently he has no problem showing interest in me". It was almost flattering, until i think about it.

but I just really look at the person and say.. "wow! Thats alot of questions"! or, "You sure have alot of questions". If they insist, Ive said, "well theres plenty of time to talk about that."

If it is a subject you feel uncomfortable about.. say it.. Tell them "i really dont feel comfortable discussing that, or right now".

I dont know, usually when i get turned off like that, I just get out of there if its too too much, if they dont get it, or I dont go on another date with them.

It feels like that sometimes. Just trade resumes' with him/her!

If it turns into a job interview, perhaps you could ask him how much it pays

If you don't want the job, decline the offer, grab your car keys and leave.

Although in all seriousness, that is the art of a good conversationalist. It keeps it going, and keeps you talking. Guess you could look at it like at least he/she's not talking about themselves every second!

I agree. It is how you get to know one another and as said, at the conversation keeps going.

some guys want you to feel like he's the most interesting person in the world.

a good conversationalist makes you feel like you are the most interesting person in the world.
