Dating Scope: Recognize the Pattern Before You Commit

Most people don't fall for obvious warning signs — they fall for warmth, urgency, and a story that sounds reasonable in the moment. Dating Scope is a free tool built from VADVN's own research and Clint Saunders' book, When Control Is the Weapon, designed to help you slow down and notice what's actually being said and done in a new relationship. Log what someone tells you, and Dating Scope checks it against real patterns — rushed commitment, verbal manipulation, unverified claims — and gives you a specific question to ask, not a verdict to accept. It also includes a simple checklist for anyone worried about a friend or family member. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
