If you are only on alert for a call from one particular number, set it to a particular ring tone and volume setting so you aren’t interrupted unnecessarily.
For instance, if your date tell you that you look beautiful, tell them something like, “you look lovely, too” in return. Avoid a negative response like, “no, I’m not that attractive. "
“What do you like to do in your spare time?” “Have you travelled anywhere recently?” “Do you have any pets?” “What’s on your bucket list?” “What’s your biggest pet peeve?”
Don’t share anything too personal before you get to know the person well enough to share secrets.
