Nearly every week Facebook loves to remind me that someone I know has gotten engaged or married. I know I am at the younger side of the spectrum to begin thinking about marriage; however I can't help but feel a certain pressure when these status changes happen! Considering I was in relationships a good bit of my college life, it has been eye opening and difficult to dive into the real world dating scene. There are so many politics and mind games that I was never aware of...Is it supposed to be this tricky? Questions that have come up:
- What is involved in a proper first date? (location, activities etc.)
- Can a girl initiate a second date? When I asked friends the answer was NO across the board.
- Which sex initiates in the online space?
- How long does one wait to correspond after a date?
Today my friend let me in on a new secret. It is a dating service called
Grouper. This is an invite only social club that brings together 2 groups (3 guys and 3 girls) on a group date. The company pays for the groups first round of drinks in order to set everyone at ease. Considering I have never done online dating, Craigslist missed connections (just learned about this the other week...I was shocked people do this), blind dating etc. I was slightly scared/turned off by this idea. However I think it could be a great experience for me to break out of my shell and live the single life, and let's be real I'm sure great stories to share with my girlfriends after!
