My advice is to set up the first date while you’re still talking on the dating app or website. To make that transition, try responding to a question they ask by saying: “That’s actually a great story, but better told in person. Maybe I can share it over drinks sometime.””},{“_id”:”TQMBL44LJFA5LOC33J4IXL6FAI”,”additional_properties”:{“inline_comments”:[],”comments”:[],”_id”:1668606003303},”type”:”text”,”content”:”Believe it or not, you don’t have to know everything about each other’s childhoods and families and jobs before getting together face to face. (In fact, that’s too much for a first date.) You’re looking for a life partner, not a pen pal, so it’s always good to move to an in-person meeting sooner rather than later.

Almost all insurance providers, no matter if they are well-known brands or just local insurers, have an online presence.
