Is Dating like a Job Interview?
Dating these days isn’t as simple as it used to be. Even when a friend or family member introduce you to a potential mate, you have to be selective and interview them. You need to know more about them than what kind of car they drive, cell phone number and email address.
Before getting seriously involved with someone there are things you need to know before letting them into your innercircle. Have you met any of his family or friends? How do they interact? What is his religious preference? What information is he volunteering? Most men live by the motto: ”don’t ask, don’t tell,” so get your list together and the next time you’re face to face, ask. Ask, not interrogate. Be prepared however to answer the same questions honestly. It’s only fair.
If there’s any questionable things, why not invest $29.95 and do a background check. You’re probably saying if I have to go through that much trouble, why bother. Wrong. Think about it. If you were hiring an employee you would do a background check; so why not check out the guy you’re willing to bring into your world. Whether you pay $29.95 or ask probing questions to your potential mate and those who know him, check him out before making a committment. Wouldn’t it be nice to have 3 references as required when applying for a job?

You had better damn believe dating is like a job interview. Hell, it is a job interview. You are interviewing for the opportunity to be in someone’s life, (and vice versa) perhaps until death do you all part. It would be in that person’s best interest to go a lot further than just asking questions. It doesn’t have to be in a suspicious manner, but there is nothing at all wrong with being a bit inquisitive. The sum of the person’s experiences coupled with the subsequent growth, or lack there of, that comes along with that can shed a lot of light on a person’s character. Although we were taught differently and try to practice not judging in everyday life, that is exactly what should be doing when we engage, or begin the process of engaging in a relationship. Ask away; it’s only your life and happiness that are on the line!
