Relationship Length: 6 Months
We met six months ago at a party, we have a lot of mutual friends but we aren’t really sure where our relationship is going. On our first date, I avoided the “job interview” type questions but I keep thinking I have to bring them up somehow. We were able to talk in a fun, non-intimidating way, about key lifestyle choices and key communication faction in a relationship. This new product allowed us to discover each other without putting stress on our new relationship.
