It cannot be avoided that disagreements between you and your date occurs. Sometimes, disagreements can ruin your day. Being constructive during disagreements is a hard thing to do especially if our feelings were hurt or if we feel that we are judged. Fight fair.

There are five steps that you can follow to have a constructive conversation necessary to resolve conflict. Set ground rules. Here are the 3 rules: No interrupting, no negating ideas and no unbridled negatively and defensiveness. Be patient. Never rush into difficult conversations. Listen actively. Don’t just sit there and nod your head. Listen then take notes of the vital points without interrupting. Be honest. Set limits on what you need, believe and want. Reserve judgment, be open minded to various possibilities for resolving a problem. Then find a fresh perspective. It’s all up to you if you want to punish the other person, scare him or be right then whatever tips you have won’t work!
