Do/would you treat first dates like job interviews? Why/Why not? (Page 2)

[Hanrej]

Well yeah, in a sense. You'll invest time and effort, somtimes you have to educate or submit to education to better handle the relationship. You'll want it to be mutually beneficual so you need to set terms and friends aka social preassure could be viewed as your "union" and tell you when you're taken advantage of.

There are too many similarities to ignore.

[Sour-rose]

O hell no, If I'm on a job interview, I'm playing it fake. Because of course... that's how I was taught. But a date with someone I'm eatin' dinner with, I'll be casual. I have no time to be playin' fake all my life, it gets tiresome.

[BCA6010]

It is functionally similar in the sense you're trying to determine if someone is a good fit for you in the long run, but otherwise no, I wouldn't treat it anything like a "job interview."

[LovingLoverReturned]

No... the interview is before the date.

Also, the date should be relaxed because you want the person person let down some of their guards... i want to experience the real them...

[LovingLoverReturned]

Not talking about sex... not

[Anonymous]

Women are the one’s looking to find a mate who will benefit them, therefore I expect them to have something to bring to the table (other than her holes)
So I treat dates like job interviews.
A female has to show me why she is worth my time, money, protection, emotion, and loyalty.

[Dargil]

If men and women did that more, relationships would last longer and be better.
I did that only on my current one. The online interview lasted over a year with one conjugal visit.

[GoldieLockes]

I wouldn’t treat it like a job interview because I wouldn’t want to make him nervous or anything like that. Plus first dates are supposed to be fun and casual while getting to know the person a bit too.

[worldscolide]

not as traumatic as a job interview.. But there are certain questions i asked my dates.. and if they answered one incorrectly it was instant no second date. The second date was closer to a job interview.

[silvermoon84]

No. Dating should be about finding a romantic connection, having fun and letting things progress naturally.

[cth96190]

I approached dating as a series of auditions through which I hoped to find a wife.
I believe that is the rational approach and should be the purpose of dating.

[globetrotter22]

I once had a girl drill me with literally a 100 different questions on a first date. It was both intriguing and annoying at the same time. Never had that happen before.

[Subarugirl]

I mean they basically are... the whole point of a first date it to determine weather or not you want to continue seeing that person. Why lead someone on and drag things out if you're not compatible.

[yofuknutz]

I think ONLY in NYC not NY state that would work in.

[melanieeeB]

Noo. I just try to enjoy first dates and see if we get along and I absolutely hate when it turns into an interview

[motownplayer2000]

Yes.. sometimes.. because most people are fake while dating like in a job interview.. you don’t see the real them until a couple months are years down the road.. sooo yeah.

[Anonymous]

Yes kinda. I want to see what you're all about before I even go further. If you passed the first date and get a second, rest assured I've already run a background check.

[Msputiton]

Naw. I rather have fun, and slowly get to know them.

[KatherineJ]

No. I mean I have interviewed people for positions, and it’s entirely different than going out with a guy the first time.

[bamesjond0069]

If its for a serious relationship then yes its a bit like a job interview and you should be able to determine if they are wife material in one or two dates max.

[demonics]

60%? Given the state of dating... maybe people should.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, I don’t/would not treat first dates like job interviews.
