Why won't men ask questions on dates?

Why Won't Men — Understanding men's resistance and refusal.

See if this sounds familiar…

You sit across from him at dinner, listening intently as he shares stories about his job, hobbies, and thoughts for an hour. Yet when he finishes, he never turns the conversation toward you or asks a single question about your life. You are left feeling like an audience member rather than a partner in dialogue. Sitting through one-sided conversations leaves you feeling invisible and emotionally unfulfilled. You wonder if his lack of curiosity means he is self-absorbed, indifferent to your world, or simply unaccustomed to real conversational give-and-take. The lack of mutual interest kills real connection. A man's failure to ask questions on dates often stems from social nervousness, a self-focused communication habit, or a false belief that sharing his achievements is the best way to impress you. Many men do not realize that genuine curiosity is the core driver of emotional attraction. Unpacking male communication styles brings helpful perspective to your dating experiences. Enter here to explore why men fail to ask questions on dates.
