@sister SS and NJMasti. JazakAllah khair for the kind words of encouragement. My words don't deserve appreciation, just pray that I may be able to become a good person like you in real life. I am thankful to Allah (s.w.t) for putting barakah in my below ordinary words in order to make it acceptable to you.

she NEEDS to know if he is even worth of the introduction? So this is the "getting to know phase" - dating!

I understand your point. It makes sense. I think there is no problem in communication between people who want to marry in future, but there are certain Islamic limitations which muslims need to maintain in order to avoid trouble in future.
I hope it is cleared with the following hadith I heard from a scholar. May Allah (s.w.t) forgive me if I make any mistake in conveying
The devil says, "There are two situations when a human can't escape my trap".
- when he is angry, because at that time I am running in his veins like blood and can easily persuade him to do whatever I want from him.
** 2. When two na-mehrams are together all alone in some place. I easily bring their heart closer to each others to persuade them to perform immoral acts.**
