Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. Before agreeing to a first date, how much evidence do you want that the person could become a serious partner?
A strong indication that he meets nearly all my important criteria
Enough information to see several promising signs
Basic interest and no clear conflict with my core boundaries
Considerable reassurance about compatibility and intentions
2. A friend asks whether you would like to be introduced to someone who seems compatible. What response sounds most like you?
I would say yes clearly if the basic description appealed to me
I would ask for more information while showing some openness
I would sound noncommittal even if I was privately curious
I would usually decline rather than reveal that I wanted an introduction
3. A friend offers to introduce you to a kind, available man who is not your usual type. How likely are you to meet him?
Likely, because meeting once would give me useful information
Possibly, if at least a few important preferences matched
Unlikely unless my friend could identify a particularly strong fit
Very unlikely; being outside my type is usually enough for me to decline
4. A promising dating-app match sends a friendly message but does not ask a direct question. How would you usually respond?
Reply warmly and add something that moves the conversation forward
Give a brief response and see whether he makes more effort
Suggest a topic, call, or meeting if I am interested
Often leave it unanswered because I am unsure what his message means
5. Over the past six months, how often has your normal routine placed you in a social setting with new potential dates?
A few times in total
About once or twice a month
