By date three, you should have a basic idea of the other person’s general hashkafa. You bring up topics of current interest, (i.e., to see if he/she watches TV, ask if they saw the Republican debates, who their favorite newscaster is, etc.). If they answer they don’t own a TV or they get their news from the radio or newspaper, that should give you some idea. Truthfully, if you are not comfortable bringing these issues up at this point, you have to ask yourself if this is going anywhere. Just have a normal conversation. And LISTEN.
