This guy I’m talking to said he only wants to go on a date after we FaceTime. He said “just come up with ideas to talk about beforehand.”

Well facetime helps show that u are who u say u are. Anyone can post or show a picture.

He's interviewing you for a position

Tell him to read X book before the face time so you both can discuss it!

That's what most dating is like these days.

Sounds like he is awkward/ nervous about first conversation And thinks you might be too so trying to prevent awkward silence.

Yeah, he sounds kinda intense 😅

I guess its like a virtual 3D tour of the car before you go in and test drive the actual car. Interesting.

Not unreasonable to want to know what someone looks like before getting involved too much.

That way if there isn't any physical attraction on either of your parts, no time is wasted

Smells like Christian Grey.

That's not a bad idea though. 😅 I think he talks from previous experiences of staring at someone in awkward silence for a couple of minutes.

i don't think its that unreasonable. seems to me like he just wants to mitigate any possible awkward tension
