Surface-level Dating

Definition

Surface-level dating is when a person keeps conversations shallow, overly polished, or emotionally guarded as they get to know someone. Instead of discussing values, fears, or long-term goals, the focus stays on safe topics, such as jobs, hobbies, favorite shows, and light banter.
