Safety-in-numbers dating
Sue Spolan @ The Philadelphia Inquirer:
This is no impromptu meeting. They’re participating in the recently reinvented social experiment known as organized group dating, billed as a low-key way to meet friends and lovers through informal gatherings. The drill: Six to eight single men and women go out for a few hours to find a mate in the crowd. They may hit a bar, pick pumpkins, or play laser tag - all in the name of finding love with minimal stress and more authenticity.
What happened to good old-fashioned one-on-one? It’s a mad, mad world out there.
That’s true but group dating is not a new thing. However it does appear a little more organized. It of course has its plus and minuses. For instance if you are really hitting it off with someone and the other couples are not then the two of you may become the spotlight attraction. Still if it allows people to relax more than more power to it.
