The folks at The Washington Post's Wonkblog have shined a light on some interesting research that might be really helpful for your dating life.
"First dates are a staple of romantic comedy. They are also the focus of a 55-page study from researchers at Stanford University and the University of California at Santa Barbara that looks at what people say on successful dates and not-so-successful dates," Washington Post's Ana Swanson wrote on Friday.
Swanson brought up the study because a recent blog post at Priceonomics turned some of its findings into some pretty interesting charts.
For example, it turns out that women actually "feel more connected" to men when they interrrupt them during the date. Men, on the other hand, don't like it when women use wishy-washy language like "I guess" and "probably."
You can read the rest of Swanson's analysis, accompanied with Pricenomics' charts, at The Washington Post's Wonkblog.
