A pulse-check on where things actually stand romantically — less formal than a full DTR conversation but more deliberate than just vibing. A dtr check might be a casual question, a pointed observation, or just reading the room to figure out if both people are on the same page about what's happening. It's the recon mission before the real conversation: are they introducing you as a friend or something else? Are they still active on dating apps? A dtr check is how you gather intel before deciding whether to push for clarity or keep things as they are.
