Men don't bond over "How was your day?" They bond over shared experiences and sensory details. "I’m at lunch."

Why it works: It triggers his "provider" instinct and makes him want to impress you again.

The biggest attraction killer is texting 24/7. Texting is for , not for deep soul-searching. Save the deep stuff for the date. If a conversation is getting too long, end it first: "I’ve gotta run, but save that story for when I see you."

"This spicy pasta is literally the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I’m in heaven."

Keep the mystery alive. If you’re heading out, don't give a full itinerary.
