Keep going off something as ephemeral as "vibes" and "attraction" as primary factors and it'll continue to lead you to nowhere.
Are your goals compatible with that other person? Are they capable with finances? Do they have ambition? Are they malleable and willing to learn/adapt for and with their partner? Do you have similar temperaments?
People will "vibe" and gain "attraction" if in close proximity long enough.
First off no one said anything about JUST vibing and attraction but INITIALLY that's what it takes to get to all that other stuff.
When you first meet a person it's attraction.
Secondly, you find a vibe which to a women= comfort. If I'm not comfortable I'm not going no damn where with you.
All of the above is "the meet up".
The date is where you pry more out of them.
Everyone does things differently do what you feel and others will do them.
****also sometimes people look differently the second time around. You may decide physically you don't want them. It happens.
