Happy Friday Jr., Asheville. Audra here. Since you’ve all had a little sneak peek into my dating life with my Asheville first date guide – now it’s time to take it a step further.

‘Tis the season of cuffing and ghosting, and no, I’m not referring to the Halloween scaries. So before you schedule that brunch, coffee meetup, casual beer, or Saturday adventure with the person you met on Bumble or Hinge, make sure you ask these Asheville-based questions to confirm that he/she/they are “for keeps.”

1. Do you enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities?

2. Which side of the city do you live on?

3. Favorite restaurant in Asheville?

4. Do you have a favorite local mural?
