In November, Rave Reid went out to dinner with a man she met on an app. Over Italian food, they spent almost three hours talking about their values and goals: What are their views on politics and religion? Where do they envision themselves living? How many children do they want, and where would they want to educate them?
“I was just being very forward,” said Ms. Reid, 33, who lives in Los Angeles and is the founder of a social wellness club.
