Hi, I am a female, 30 years old. I was chatting to this 26 something year old and he asks me lots of question but avoids answering my questions. And makes a joke about things. How did I respond?

Dragonflymagic answered Tuesday July 2 2013, 12:55 am: Until I found my current husband, I was on a dating site where guys would ask me tons of questions but reveal nothing about themselves. There is no way possible to know if theres anything in common to be just friends with such a person let alone be in a dating relationship. Or if it is a coworker, it's none of his business to be trying to socialize and ask personal questions during work hours. You don't owe anyone a reply just because you are asking a question about yourself. What I like to do is turn the question on them if I do not want to answer, no matter how innocent the question like, "What did you do this weekend." I don't answer and ask them the same. Usually people who don't want to talk about themselves will give up after a while. Others will answer the question that you turned back on them and not ask another question or re ask because now they have been distracted.
