I said for years that every second date should be to a grocery store. The first date can be as fancy and choreographed as the couple wants, but the second date needs to be to the grocery store.

You can learn just about everything you need to learn about a person from watching them at a grocery store. From how they chose a parking spot, to how they talk to employees, to how they budget, to how they prepare a list, to how healthy they eat, to how they check out, to if they return the shopping cart.

Change your mind on a product. Do they put it back where it belongs or throw it on the nearest clearly wrong shelf?

Or, is the person a shopper at all? Do they act like they’ve never been to a grocery store in their lives?

That’s useful information.

Gen z is already struggling to date. They don’t need the added barrier of not ordering limos for their burrito and being judged for it.

It’s all about compatibility here. If the date thinks they need limo burritos then that’s important information.
