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

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.
