Unless you've been living in a barrel at the bottom of the sea for the last fifteen years you will be aware of the fact that the dating scene has changed substantially. Suddenly there is speed-dating, blind-dating, bring-a-friend-dating, same-sex dating and just about every flavour, type and combination of dating you can imagine.

Such a high level of organisation in what is usually a chaotic process allows the spotlight to highlight the problems where they usually are: at a personal connection level. While we have become incredibly efficient at organising dating and removing any kind of stigma from the dating scene, we have, as individuals only increased our own incapability to connect with another person.

There are many reasons for this not least of which is the fact that because dating has become so well organised we have, by default, become accustomed to signing up and getting a date as opposed to the old-fashioned way of having to work hard for it. The result is that when we finally get there and meet a person we would love to connect with, the skills we need and which we should have honed, are sadly missing.

This is where this article comes into its own. It is an article rather than a treatise and as such it will focus on one simple tip. Something which will transform your chances of connecting from nil to a percentage greater than one. Something which will improve your date score by a magnitude of at least ten. Something which will make you standout from the crowd and maybe even get you an encore. Magic? No, far from it. The tip is simple, it is workable and it actually requires almost no work at all. Ok, I know you are intrigued. So let's cut to the chase.

Listen.

That's it! Every single girl in the world likes to have a man who's truly interested in what she says. Someone who is attentive, polite, quiet and a good listener. It may sound simple to you right now but believe me it is not. I have lost count of the number of times girlfriends of mine have begged, threatened and cajoled to try and get a man who would actually listen.

Muster this little tactic when you are with a woman and you will find her warming up to you even if you are Quasimodo, who incidentally held Esmeralda's affection because he was such a great listener.

The root-word "Organize" was mispelled three times in this article. Using a spell-check might benefit the author. Topic was interesting, but the spelling and grammar need work. Ted in Texas

Thank you for this Ted in Texas and I am glad you found the information contained in the article useful. Organise with an 's' as opposed to a 'z' is included as grammatically valid spelling in the English Oxford Dictionary and is the usual way to spell this in UK English. I know there are two ways to spell it and now, happily, so do you.

Sounds pretty simple advice but hmmm, as someone who has failed on this more than once I know that it's not that simple. It takes time to listen!
