Dating Quiz

Thank you for taking the quiz. We emailed you your score!

In case you’re curious, here are the correct answers!

Over 70% of communication in dating is nonverbal, including body language, eye contact, and facial expressions.

True - Yes, it's true! Studies suggest that a significant portion of communication—often cited as 70-93%—is nonverbal, including body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. This idea originates from research by Albert Mehrabian, who found that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is tone of voice, and only 7% is words in conveying emotions and attitudes. While the exact percentage may vary depending on context, nonverbal cues play a huge role in dating, influencing attraction, trust, and connection.

In American dating culture if you've gone on more than 5 dates with someone or if you've slept with them, you can assume that you are in a relationship.

False - In American dating culture you have always have to have “the talk,” or in other words, the exclusivity talk. Never assume you are both on the same page.

Asking a woman lots of personal questions on a first date makes you seem caring and attentive.

False - Careful here! Asking lots of questions is good. Asking lots of personal questions isn’t. You need to understand the difference between the two in order to ensure your date feels comfortable and at ease.

Confidence is more important than perfect English when it comes to making a strong connection. 

True - Confidence is sexy! Don’t worry so much about your language or pronunciation skills when you’re on a date or in other social settings. People are drawn to personality and authenticity over language perfection.

First impressions are mostly based on what you say, not how you say it.

False - Studies show that nonverbal communication (body language, facial expression, tone of voice) plays a bigger role than words in first impressions. Confidence, posture, and eye contact matter more than perfect sentences.

If your date says something incorrectly make sure to correct her. This way you can show her how intelligent you are.

False - Don’t get too caught up in the details. A date isn’t the time to show off how much you know at the expense of the other person. Remember, keep it light and fun!

Be sure to do most of the talking on a first date. Women expect men to guide the date and set the tone of the conversation

False - The exact opposite is true! You should be doing more listening on the first date than talking. Being a good listener is attractive and makes your date feel valued.

Good physical chemistry is about timing and mutual comfort, not just confidence

True - Confidence is important, but knowing when and how to make a move based on mutual signals is what really matters. Being attuned to their body language and responses is key. Rushing into touch without building rapport can make interactions feel forced.

In the U.S., it's common for couples to communicate frequently between dates, even if they’ve just met

False - This depends on the people involved. While some people may prefer frequent communication, many U.S. daters keep things more casual in the early stages. It’s common for people to wait until there’s more established interest before texting or calling regularly. The pace can vary, so it’s best to follow each person’s cues.

Hi, I'm Bianca, an my mission is to reverse your dating life. As a first-generation American with a multicultural background, I have always been into travelling and communications. I’ve experienced the challenges of dating across languages and cultures firsthand while living, working (and dating) in Greece, South Korea, and Germany. My journey – from teaching English abroad to earning a Master’s in Speech Pathology and coaching executives in communication – taught me that strong interpersonal skills are just as vital in dating as in careers.

Now, I help clients navigate the complexities of dating in a new environment.
