Dating texting guide

Ask what she wants to know about you before your first date

How to ask her what she'd like to know about you before meeting. Opens conversation, shows confidence, and removes her guesswork about who you are.

Read the situation

She's either asked you directly ('anything you want to tell me before we meet?') or the conversation is reaching that natural pre-date lull where you both sense it's time to meet soon. This moment signals she's serious about meeting and wants to feel ready.

Asking her what she wants to know about you flips the script. Instead of you volunteering random facts about yourself, you're inviting her to drive the conversation toward what matters to her. It shows you're not nervous about questions. It also prevents you from oversharing things she doesn't care about.

A good reply here acknowledges her question directly, shows you're relaxed about being asked anything, and keeps the door open for her to ask without making it awkward or turning it into an interview.

She's running final checks before committing to the date

When she asks this, she's not being casual. She's mentally preparing to meet you and wants to know if there's anything that might surprise her or change her mind. This isn't an interview. It's her way of saying 'I'm taking this seriously enough to do a quick reality check.' She might be wondering about your job, your living situation, whether you have kids, your relationship with your ex, or anything that affects whether this date makes sense for her. The question also tests how comfortable you are with directness. If you dodge it or get defensive, she reads that as a bad sign.

Stay calm and create room for her to actually ask

Your reply needs to do two things. First, signal that you're not threatened by questions. Don't over-explain yourself or volunteer a whole biography. That makes it look like you're hiding something or terrified of judgment. Second, leave actual space for her to ask something. If you answer with a statement like 'Nope, I think you know me pretty well' or 'I'm pretty straightforward,' you've closed the door. Instead, give a short, honest response that invites her to ask if she wants to. Keep it light. You're saying 'I've got nothing to hide, and I'm cool if you want to know something specific.'

Send it soon and don't wait for a follow-up question

Reply within a few hours if the conversation is still going. If she asks the question, she's thinking about the date right now, so respond while that momentum exists. Don't overcomplicate the timing. After you answer, she might ask something specific, or she might say 'cool, see you then.' Both are fine. If she doesn't ask anything back and just moves toward confirming the date, that's a good sign. She got the reassurance she needed. Don't keep the door open by saying 'but seriously, ask me anything' a second time. You already made the offer. Respect her decision to move forward.

Why these replies fail

  • Ha, depends how honest you want me to be. I could tell you I'm a neurosurgeon who speaks five languages, or I could tell you the truth.

    Dodges the actual question with humor and makes it seem like you're uncomfortable with honesty

  • I'm an open book, ask away! What about you, anything I should know?

    Turns it back on her instead of just answering, and 'open book' sounds defensive even though it seems friendly

  • Nope, I think we've covered everything. You know pretty much all there is to know about me.

    Shuts down the conversation and makes it harder for her to ask if she actually wants to know something

Avoid these

Common mistakes

  • Listing facts about yourself unprompted instead of actually answering her question
  • Making it weird by saying 'I'm an open book' or 'ask me anything' like you're desperate to prove something
  • Answering with a joke that dodges the offer entirely
  • Taking too long to respond, making it seem like you're nervous about questions
  • Asking her the same question back instead of just answering and leaving space for her to ask

Questions people ask

Should I volunteer information she didn't ask for?
No. Answer the question she asked, not the questions you think she might have. If she wants to know something specific, she'll ask. Volunteering facts you're worried about signals insecurity. Stay quiet and let her drive what matters to her.
What if I have something I think she should know?
If it's deal-breaker information (you have kids, you live out of town, etc.), tell her directly before the date. But frame it as practical info she needs, not as defensive oversharing. Keep it factual and short.
What if she doesn't ask anything after I answer?
That's usually good. It means she's comfortable enough to move forward. Don't interpret silence as disinterest. She asked the question, got the answer, and is ready to meet. Move toward confirming the plan.
How long should I wait before asking her out if she asks this question?
If she's asking what she wants to know about you, she's already thinking about meeting. Answer the question, keep the chat brief, and suggest a specific time and place within the next message or two. Don't drag it out.

What people say after using WingAI

  • I'm busy and half the profiles give you almost nothing to work with. WingAI gets me a solid first line fast without me staring at the screen for ten minutes.

    Ralph

  • I was skeptical at first. Then I tried it on a dry chat and the replies actually sounded like me, not a chatbot.

    Mazoonx

  • Used it for a couple hours and set up a date the same night. Not even kidding.
