after a very mid-tier first date, I offered to make afternoon tea and dumplings at mine for a second date. they countered with a meet-the-entire-polycule / panel interview at theirs, complete with an outline of who would be hostile and who I needed to win over.
I withdrew my application, so to speak.
I don't even want to know why people are like this anymore.
The "Job Interview-ification" of dates has really turned me off of dating. At least those sorts of people who show up with a clipboard and checklist are easy enough to spot.
