Last week I had a radio interview where I was asked a question that came from a reddit feed where a woman said how she tested men on dates to make sure they were suitable. She would meet them at a place where you BBQ'd your dinner and also shucked oysters. She felt that this was a great test to see how they dealt with doing something outside of the square. Also that shucking oysters is challenging and felt that it is a good test of the person's character to see how they respond. In the radio interview, I was asked if this was a good test or not (find out my answer in this podcast). This got me thinking about how do you make sure the person you date is right for you?  Should you look for red, green, or beige flags on your date? Or is there a specific test that will guarantee you don't end up with another person who wastes your valuable time? Let's face it you don't want another narcissistic, user or unavailable single. In this week's podcast, I let you know what my answer was to the radio interview as well as answer these questions for you.
