The Future-Tense Test: What Future Talk Reveals About Dating Intent

In this 8-minute monologue, Sarah presents the 'Future-Tense Test' — a practical, behavior-first method for reading future-oriented language as a signal of dating intent. Listeners learn three reliable verbal signals (inclusive language, concreteness, and contingency framing), a lightweight scoring rule to combine words with actions, and three short, non-confrontational scripts to prompt revealing future talk. The episode is grounded in the show’s rules — Consistency Over Chemistry, Clarity Is the Standard, Actions Are the Truth — and focuses on turning conversational patterns into decision fuel that cuts through information overload. You’ll get clear examples, a quick checklist to avoid false positives from nerves or cultural differences, and a simple next-step plan to try in the next week. No guesswork or long experiments — just immediate, usable techniques to prioritize clarity in early dating.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex-and-dating--5052038/support.
