Another dating question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Well, civil engineering is a pretty big field… but it usually involves something along the lines of designing buildings, bridges, roads, airports, dams, water supply, drainage systems, or sewage treatment plants… or the maintenance & improvements of those items.
He probably knows as much about make-up as you know about civil engineering (i.e., nothing)… so you both should ask questions about each other’s jobs… followed by hobbies and interests.
As an engineer, he’s probably a little bit of a geek… and likely watches TV shows such as Mythbusters and Star Trek (ask him whether he prefers Kirk or Picard).
Engineers are usually logical, conservative, loyal, thrifty (cheap), shy, honest, and reliable. Some might be a bit blunt, and have questionable taste when picking out clothes (i.e., not much interest in matching colors or styles, and always wearing white socks).
He’s probably not too talkative (or else he would have gone into marketing or sales), will always have a pen in case you need one, and will drive a car with good reliability (i.e., not a sports car).
He might not be willing to show much interest unless you make it pretty clear that you would like to see him again… so if you enjoy his company, then make it obvious. Engineers are often social turtles, and aren’t exactly known for picking up on subtle cues or tiny hints.
Finally, no matter what type of human male you date… keep your panties on until you get married. That’ll eliminate 99% of the creeps, losers, and players… and mistakes of passion… which will make your life much happier and simpler in the long run. You’ll also be protected against pregnancy, STD’s, and excessive heartache.
Good luck, GFT!

is he human??? if he is just go with the flo
you have to start asking questions about the life of an engineer. what are his concerns, interests, plans, dreams, feelings being an engineer.? you can share also your experiences as make-up artist.
Take a dictionary with you..
Simply find out his interests. That he is in Civil Eng, is immaterial. Simply find out his interests and the conversation will flow so well you will have no problem at all. Worry is your problem.
well he’s not going to expect you to talk about civil engineering is he?!? Are you expecting him to ask you for make up tips? NO!!! You talk about things you both have in common.. yes, if he’s a civil engineer, he;s probably quite clever, but that doesn;t mean you won;t have anything to talk about.. films, books, holidays etc etc.. you are over thinking this… relax
You don’t have to talk about his job, if you want to know more then just ask and im sure he will let you know, but just ask him about his taste in music? the last film he went to watch in the cinema, any recent films that he would like to see, ask about food? any interests outside of work? football… golf?
There are plenty of things that you can ask, dont worry about it too much just be yourself and get to know him.
Within 5 minutes of his company your nerves will go away you’ve got nothing to worry about!
engineers like you to ask them about their jobs… show a little interest and ask questions… ask him why he chose civil engineering… ask him what specialty did he choose… is he licensed? ask him to explain how the tacoma narrows bridge collapsed in 1940. show him a good time. get him relaxed. its difficult battling the laws of physics all day, and engineers want to have fun just like the rest of us. there are no archetype of an engineer… they are just like normal people that can think analytically. tell him about the world make up artistry. i’m sure there is a science to it… colors, chemistry, biology, etc. etc. it all fits together, you know what I mean?
