Shorty00 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Benefits and Disadvantages? I personally prefer - Group Outings.

CambridgeGirl Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 For a first date? Or? I have never been on a group outing on a date and cannot imagine why people do until they are bf/gf, seems very odd to me. Maybe it's because I am British and I never hear of people doing that here, especially before the topic of "exclusivity" comes up. Otherwise your friends are like, who is this? Are you an item? Are you sleeping with them? Whats the deal? etc. It would probably be most uncomfortable for me if not them! I keep dates well away from my friends until am sure we aren't just casual. I never introduce randoms to my friends.

Cee Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 In my current relationship, I do both. Typically, we meet up at a group social outing and then branch off for quiet time later. Group dates have the advantage that you don't get into the couple bubble. Something to consider is how well the social group gets along. The little dramas in a social group might be distracting. The other part to consider is what happens if you and the date don't work out. Your friends will inevitably ask about that person and then you'll need to explain. I don't think one or the other is better. It depends on my mood. I personally like both.
