Vibes Check

An informal early date or conversation aimed at gauging chemistry rather than facts.

Definition

A vibes check is a low-stakes early interaction (a coffee date, a quick FaceTime) designed to test whether two people 'click' rather than to learn factual information. It's a response to the limited usefulness of dating-app profiles for predicting chemistry — better to just meet and find out.
