Vetting: 21 Questions For 50 First Dates

What would you say about your vetting style during dating? How do you assess your partners? Is there a list of “must haves” vs. “absolutely no-no’s”? When do they meet mama & em? What do you even consider dating? I mean there are levels to this. You may be casually talking to people, which leaves you open without obligation. You may be seeing “someone” in particular however without a title. And or you may be in an exclusive relationship, is it mutual? Wikipedia refers to dating as a stage of romantic relationships practiced in Western societies whereby two people meet socially with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in a future intimate relationship. Which all leads to the vetting process. How long does it take to determine that this person’s? Is your process anything like a formal job interview? Have you come across candidates that look good on paper, only to find out they’re nothing like who they presented themselves to be?? Like who is this representative and where is the other person that I was actually attracted to? LOLOLOLOL! Thing is, we don’t think people spend nearly enough time examining a potential mate as we should, before we find ourselves too deep into situations to turn back. It is vital that we are vetting our mates with a fine tooth comb, under a microscopic microscope with latex gloves and tweezers before getting settled. Take time to make sure that this person is really right for you. Ask all the “off the wall questions” to get to the bottom of the matter before moving in, getting married, and goodness knows before having children. Look for all the signs. Whew.. Take your time and enjoy some rides before committing to one for the long haul, just to be sure you’re choosing the right one.
