“You go with your gut, take a chance and meet, otherwise, you’re jeopardizing turning the person off completely who could have been great. “You cannot guarantee a first date will be amazing by overly grilling the person or making them do this sort of FaceTime-dating-interview situation,” he said. The video chat was uncomfortable, as he suspected, and then he actually rejected going on the date with the person after. “It’s the dating equivalent of when a stranger makes awkward chat in an elevator or bathroom. Adam, 32, was recently asked by someone whom he was messaging with on Tinder to FaceTime. Still, not all guys are gung-ho on the idea of video chatting before a first date. I tell my clients that if they FaceTime before the first date, they can probably eliminate 90% of bad dates.” “The issue is a combination of no chemistry or mental connection. Online dating has become “extremely frustrating and fruitless,” says Courtney Cleman, CEO of the V-Club, a studio in New York City that offers courses on sex, relationships, and wellness. Unlike ghosting, zombieing, and other uniquely modern habits resulting from dating app fatigue, this one helps prevent that fatigue from happening in the first place. We're calling the practice advance screening. As it turns out, a growing number of singles suffering from dating app fatigue say they've started FaceTiming before they meet potential partners in order save time and spare themselves from disappointment. That said, there is something to help pre-screen first dates with people you meet online: FaceTime. Considered to have extremely high video quality, Facetime easily. It also feels like a waste of time because, frankly, it was. Created by Apple, Facetime has proven itself to be a very popular video chat app. It’s frustrating, especially since your texting was so promising. Maybe having a conversation face-to-face is like pulling teeth. Maybe their monotone voice is a huge turn off. Maybe your date doesn’t look like their pictures. Then, within seconds of sitting down for dinner, you can tell there’s zero chemistry. You shower, pick an outfit, and text your best bud saying you’re stoked for this date.
After a week or two of witty banter via messaging, you finally meet up IRL with the person you’ve matched with on Tinder (or Hinge, the League, Grindr, or any of the other 10 million online dating apps).
