Please don’t ask for feedback after a date

This is an old date story, but I think the lessons learnt here are still relevant. Back when I used to date and use apps, I would ask a filter question before meeting up with anyone I.R.L. to gauge their political beliefs and check if we’re on the same wavelength.
