You may school him with zeal, but always stay logical.
On a free dating website, there is no such matchmaking service and anyone if free to sign-up without any identity proof, thus opening the door to scammers and dating scams.
Men and women are not same, no matter how many touchy-feely support groups want to support equality. We may still be 'equal' without lying to ourselves regarding being the strict same.
Registering with a free dating website is the best thing to do to give you a wide range of persons to select from. Sometimes meeting people face to face does not always make the attraction strong enough to continue with meetings and dates to happen. It may just remain at a casual level where there is no further communication once you leave each others presence.
This means that you have not found the person with whom your chemistry is right. So you have to expand your search to be able to find the person who you would want to spend more time with and who would also want to be with you.
You may already know a bit about the other person from your initial communication through the free dating website. These bits and pieces can make great topics for conversation. It will be a good idea to share about yourself as it will become easier for your date to open up as well.
However, never try to hog the conversation. Make sure you take time to ask about your date as well. Ask the person about their interests, personality and background. Observe how your date reacts to your questions and be sensitive when there are topics they are reluctant to discuss.
