Be honest. Always. Be honest in a careful, thoughtful way. Explain your feelings. Tell people the reasons why you act in one way and not in another so they can UNDERSTAND your position. Be honest. In the end it will make you happy and the other will feel confident, because they will know that you always say something what you think. There is in my oppinion no other way to communicate more effectively than that.
Try it.

I think one of the best way to communicate effectively
would be making connection....
like for example before i go out in a date with someone
i always need to know what the person likes and what are thier plans for the future
..... after that i just start bringing out things that can connect to her understanding

Be good and sincere.. care and keep the things to urself.. Once u get what the other person is expecting from u...it will help u in determining ur position..

Listen. Everyone likes to be listened to.
Don't make statements that start with "you" or "why do you?". It sounds accusatory, or blaming.
Be truthful. "Be sure your lies will find you out," as one of my teachers used to say.
If you don't like something she does or says, start out by saying "I feel..." or "I don't feel..." This is non-judgmental and only tells how you personally feel about it.
Be respectful. Needs no explanation.

Between my husband and I we have to be to the point without brining up past issues or throwing in emotion. "I" statements work well.

my best advice to you, is to stop worrying about YOU, listen LISTEN and listen, to what people are saying. every one likes to talk, and all you need to do is listen,, nod your head in all the right places, say yes i understand, agree etc; and they will go away , thinking you are the best person in the world. people just need for you to be yourself, not some false person who can give glib remarks,, they are the phoneys/ fakes. who need to pretend to be who they are not

no shouting, no blaming, say i feel more often instead i think, let's instead of me or you as often as possible,say i'm sorry and mean it,hug or hold hands more often,praise in public-correct or ask questions in private,keep your business between each other only.
