1. Pick somewhere you can talk. Coffee, a walk, a low-key restaurant — conversation is the point.
2. Be on time. It signals respect, and first impressions stick.
3. Ask about their story. Where they grew up, what they miss about home — people light up talking about roots.
4. Share yours. Dating is a two-way interview; don’t just interrogate.
5. Put the phone away. Nothing kills a vibe faster.
6. Mind the bill question. Have a plan, be gracious either way.
7. Be yourself, not your representative. Authenticity is attractive.
8. Watch for values alignment. Family, faith, future plans — the big things matter early.
9. End clearly. If you felt it, say you’d like to see them again.
10. Follow up. A simple “I had a great time” text goes a long way.
