My standards (since you turned this into an ad hominem argument): I ask questions FIRST to determine someone’s likes or dislikes. But god forbid you have a simple phone conversation to figure out if she prefers coffee or a cocktail. All of you are just throwing shit at the wall and not dating with any intention. And then you wonder why every woman friend zones you when you date like you are interviewing job candidates.

Yes, Gen X. We tangled ourselves up in phone cords before every date. That is connection. Not this swipe “let’s grab a cup of coffee so I can mark out the exits” shit.
