How many times has your attention wandered when listening to an unexciting speaker? How many times have you nodded your head in understanding even though you have really heard nothing? This is a common behavior, and there is nothing wrong with you for doing it. It happens to almost everybody. We may hear what someone is saying, but until we listen we can’t grasp what they are telling us. Train your mind to stop wandering due to the activity beyond what the speaker is saying in the video chat with girls strangers app.

How can we learn to listen? It is not a hard thing to achieve. All that you need is some self training and discipline. The first thing is to manage your thoughts. You cannot be a good listener if you permit your thoughts to roam. This happens to the majority of us when some word or sentence made by the speaker triggers your memory, and your mind goes in another direction. You will then need to control your thoughts, and refocus. This is not always easy, because the mind is very powerful. It moves in all directions, many times without you realizing it.

A great way to keep your mind focused is to train your mind to do so for extended periods of time. You can achieve this by listening to a radio or recorded speech. You run the speech for a fixed amount of time, five minutes to start with. If your mind wanders while the speaker is talking, restart the speech. Do it with different speeches until you can stay focused for five minutes. Once this is accomplished, increase the time to ten minutes, and repeat the exercise.

You will find that you will be able to concentrate better, and follow what the speaker is saying. You now can repeat the exercise using a video, where the speaker uses their hands for effect, or rattles off sentences. You will find that very frequently these minor things will send your mind wandering. You can stop you mind from doing this with practice.

These exercises might seem a little far fetched, but they can and will train your mind to follow what people are saying in your day to day activities. And we all know listening is a major trait required for a relationship.

You should meet in a public place when you are meeting someone for the first time. Instead of having your date pick you up, meet them at your destination. Tell a friend where you are going and who you are meeting before you meet your date.

These are all safeguards to protect your self. You will probably not need to worry, online dating has become very popular in recent years, and many people do it. Although, if you STILL feel uncomfortable, you can always request a friend to accompany you, or even make it a double date.

Be cautious about what personal information you reveal on your first date. If you get a bad feeling about the other person, use your common sense and leave immediately.

These few safeguards will insure you have a safe and enjoyable first meeting with your online friend.

Meeting someone online can be a fun and enjoyable experience. Even so, you should always protect yourself from the few predators that are inevitably out there.
