In the offline world it's not really a bad thing as far as you are concerned. Your friends know that once you get going it's hard for you to stop. You talk about your interests, likes, dislikes, what you saw, what you wish to see and so forth with such gusto and passion that at times it appears to lift anyone's spirit who happens to be within earshot.

Yet that same enthusiasm does not appear to be translating well in the world of on line dating. Every potential relationship has always ended rather quickly. As far as you know you have polite and thoughtful.

The problem is if a discussion with your dating partners mostly or always swings back in your direction than it may be telling them something you are not aware of. Whether it turns out to be true or not, it is hard to shake an initial impression of someone. Instead of coming across as passionate, it may be telling your cyber date:

1. Conversation Domination

Online or off there are few things worse than dating someone who will not let you get a word in edgewise. They even tend to dismiss what the other person typed in an online chat. If they do notice, it's only to take a small portion of what they said and swing the conversation back to their vantage point. It's bad enough that they are not really paying attention; it gets even worse when they take what the other person says out of context.

2. Lack of Respect

Simply put you are telling your online dating partner that what they have to say is not all that important. In fact it's just background noise. Since you are hogging the conversation and in essence dismissing their input that is a red flag to tell them you would have no problem doing the same thing when the two of you met face to face.

3. Self Centered

If it is all about you in cyberspace than it must really be all about you in the offline world. In poll after poll; one of the things that always makes the top five list when it comes to dating turnoffs is arrogance. Chatting with you may give the other person the impression that you are not looking for a date so much as you want a servant to cater to your every whim.

4. Control Freak

If it strikes your dating partner that you must hog the conversation; than they may start to think that it probably does not stop there. One of the signs of a control freak is not just the conversation domination but that everything must be exactly their way. This might not be true for you but your dating partner does not really have anything else to go on.

You are a good person. People that come into contact with you know it now it's time for the folks in cyber space to find out. Keep your passion and enthusiasm but do not be afraid to set it aside from time to time so you can make way for your online dating partner along with their passion and enthusiasm.
