Why this matters
Most people don’t struggle because they’re “bad at dating.” They struggle because they repeat the same small mistakes: vague profiles, generic openers, and conversations that never turn into a meet. Fix the process, and results follow.
The non-negotiables
- Meet in public for the first date (coffee is perfect).
- Tell a friend where you’re going + share your location if you want.
- Keep the first meet short (45–75 minutes).
- Don’t send money. Don’t share banking info. Ever.
- Don’t feel bad ending a date early if anything feels off.
Common warning signs
- They push you off-app quickly (Telegram/WhatsApp) for no clear reason.
- Urgency + emotional pressure early (“I’ve never felt this before”).
- Inconsistent stories, vague details, or refusal to video chat.
- Requests for help, gift cards, transfers, or “investment” talk.
