Dating can be tedious; hence people are trying to find ways to limit time wasters.
When people meet, they usually start in the 'talking stage' of dating before things progress to a full-blown relationship.

One man had to fill in a 20-question questionnaire on his first date.
Taking to Quora, the concerned man wrote, "On the first date, my date asked me to fill out a questionnaire with 20 questions before we continued. I was somewhat taken aback, but should I be concerned?"
This sparked a conversation on the platform, and people shared their opinions, with one saying, "It's odd, but she is doing that because she is looking for a long-term relationship and wants to be efficient. She does not want to invest her emotions into a relationship if you guys are incompatible regarding issues that are important to her."
The commenter added that if the questionnaire had questions about materialistic values, he should be concerned.
