My personal 2 cents. I will tell them to tell me more about themselves. Dont ask open ended questions, necessarily, becasue they can be dodged. But if you are truly interested and want to try and get them to open up a touch, ask them to tell you about themselves. Give them a few starters and specifically say what you'd like to know. AS the Dominant, that really wont come off looking too bad. And, for me at least, I tell them they can ask anything theyd like to know as well. Answer their questions the way you want yours answered, and it sets the precedent. However, after a few tries, if they cant seem to move past grunts and snorts as answers, its time to move on. On messenger, I am a little more tolerant of short answers tothings, as long as they convey the information I am trying to get. Emails, you have longer so I expect more. And on the phone you had best have a running conversation. If you have to work that hard to see if they are compatible, the answer is they are not. If you have to beat answers out of them now when they are supposed to be trying to be impressive and get your attention, what is it going to be like when they are already comfortable with you? Communication doesnt tend to get better with familiarity, silence becomes more comfortable. If you are getting frusterated, then move on. Especially if they are contacting you first, you have to make a point in your initial reply that communication is key so they know what they are in for. If, after being told, they still cant, then you know they arent the one for you. DV
