There are so many full blown idiots out there that it should take very little for someone like you to demonstrate that you can more than keep up intellectually, so you should focus more on storytelling (nights out, random good times with friends), jokes, observations, questions to her not related to work/school, etc. I am 82% sure your lack of success has something to do with this.
P.S. Are you very good looking and/or openly display a high income on the sites? Seems like a lot of 7+ messaging you first.
P.P.S. Do not debate US health care on a first date lol
I actually sort of lie about my income on OKC. Nothing outrageous, but I am very financially comfortable, generous on dates, and have income for several inconsistent sources. But professors make a lot less money than many people assume, and what I list is consistent with these assumptions. I am truthful about my job & education (and everything else AFAIK).
I don't get a lot of messages from 7+...maybe one every 10 days? Plus some winks, plus some messages from 6's that still seem worth going out with, plus a whole lot of unattractive people that I ignore.
To clarify, I wasn't
debating health care. I was just getting her perspective as a young doctor, and we were pretty much agreeing on everything. But I think you are probably right, and that moving conversations in a more flirty direction would help.
