Others want to know if their new friend already has a romantic partner before getting too far emotionally invested.
While all valid reasons, going too far down a rabbit hole is not recommended.
Dating experts don’t suggest diving too deep into one’s background.
Meanwhile, that woman could be his sister or best friend.
It’s very, very hard to remain objective.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, heartbreak is not always something we can predict.
Instead, it’s better to live in the present and actually enjoy the connection being made.
Why have a first date when you already know everything?
The lead up to a first date should be an exciting time.
They serve as an introduction, allowing both parties to explore relationship potential.
A first-date question such as “Where is your favorite place in the world?”
may have already been answered via a picture you came across.
However, you’d be missing the context “What makes Disney World so special to you?”
or “Why is that your favorite place?”
which makes for great conversation.
Don’t complicate dating by overloading yourself with preconceived notions gathered from social media posts.
Too much pre-date stalking may cause you to miss out on a potentially excellent connection.
If you find some unsavory things within their internet imprint, ask about them.
Even if it leads to somefirst-date awkwardness, they’ll have a chance to explain their point of view.
