Time is the most precious resource we have, and setting aside an entire evening for a first date only to find out you have no chemistry, no compatibility, and no shared interests with someone is a tremendous waste of that resource.

So out of respect for both of our time, I made this short pre-date questionnaire. I’ll be asking questions about how you express yourself creatively, your personality, and what you’re looking for out of dating.

At the end, you’ll get to see my responses, and if we both still want to meet, we can even go over our respective questionnaires as an ice breaker.

I only ask that you answer honestly and thoughtfully. Some of the things I’m looking for might surprise you, and there’s no single “deal-breaker” question, so don’t overthink it.
