Have you heard about group internet dating? I hadn't, until my trip to the US last week, when I read about it in USA Today. Apparently, sites such as Teamdating.com allow members to sign up to use their services in groups of 2, 3 or 4 people - which means that you can get in touch with and, ultimately, meet, other groups of 2, 3 or 4 people.
This removes many of the concerns that I know women often have about using Internet dating sites - such as the need to put their personal details and photograph online and the fact that they have no idea if the person they are corresponding with is who they say they are. And when you go on a date with 2 or 3 of your friends, your fears that your drink will be spiked whilst you are in the bathroom are dramatically reduced.
Other advantages of group dating are that it removes much of the stress and anxiety involved in meeting for the first time someone you have previously only met either on-line or over the phone. And let's face it, if you don't hit it off with the person you have been corresponding with, you might just find some chemistry with one of their friends - which makes group dating much more like the social mixing that takes place on a night out with the girls.
As far as I am aware, www.teamdating.com only caters for US daters, but I believe that www.compa.co.uk offers a similar service for UK singles.
