"Earth to space, earth to space. How to communicate better in your relationship. This is Doctor Paul. Author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Doctor Paul. Now, when I said earth to space, you don't want to be the space, because the space doesn't respond. You must be earth to earth, you must really get involved with insightful eye contact talk. Listening, communication, active listening involves the following. I'm looking right in your eyes, and I'm not glancing off to see some person walking by be it male or female, I'm not looking at my watch because that tells someone I'm really bored with what you're saying. What you're doing with active listening is to reinforce what eye contact with body movement, leaning forward, and that's a part of active listening. Nothing is going to be established if that is not going to happen, from both sides. We read the other person in terms of how their bodies move, it's called body language. Active listening is a part of that. When you look in your eyes of the other and that other looks in your eyes, then you know that something is happening here, we are communicating, even when you first meet someone. Just as I'm looking into this camera right now looking into your eyes, so true you should be looking in the eyes of the person that you're communicating with. That establishes true communication. Heart to heart talk. This is Doctor Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
