Dating Intentionally

280. How to Vet Someone Before a First Date (Without Overthinking)


Listen Later

Not sure who's worthy of a first date? In this episode, I'm sharing my exact process for deciding who gets a first date, including the one screening step I wish I'd done more of before meeting people in person.

  • The 3 questions to ask yourself before meeting someone
  • What's actually worth paying attention to on a profile (and what to ignore)
  • Why over-vetting someone like a job interview backfires
  • How texting for too long creates a false sense of intimacy
  • Why a quick phone or video screening call beats weeks of DMs
  • How vetting works differently when you meet someone offline vs. on the apps


At the end, I tackle a dating dilemma from a woman whose boyfriend of three months lied about his age.
