They don't listen to you or ask about you.

Conversations help couples establish connections and get to know each other in lasting ways. This could mean deep talks about the meaning of life or chatting briefly about your favorite foods. Either way, these things help you and your partner to not only get to know each other, but to establish a bond that lasts beyond the duration of a conversation.

"If the person that you are dating nearly always monopolizes the conversation, does not ask you about yourself or your day, and then tunes you out when you start speaking, these are clear signals that your date is not really very interested in you as a person except as an audience for them," psychologist and author Elinor Greenberg told us. "If they are not interested now at the beginning of the relationship, they are likely to be even less interested later on."
