Double Dating - As Old As The Hills

By Gail Jones

Double dating is an agreeable way to go out and have a good date with your girlfriend or boyfriend and another couple. It also gives your partner the opportunity to meet your friends and it can provide a comfortable, more casual date for someone who might be a little anxious and possibly not ready to go out on a one-to-one date just yet. Judging by the old films we see from time to time on television, even the black and white ones dating from the 1920's, double dating has always been very popular.

Double dating is also an excellent plan if you would like to meet someone new, but you are not quite happy being alone with them yet. To solve this, you can invite a couple you know to come with you as well. This allows you to be near individuals you are relaxed with, while you are getting to know your date. Some people prefer to go on a double date first of all, so that they are not so edgy on that all-important first date, because as we all recognize, first impressions count a good deal.

Venturing on a double date also gives your date the chance to get to know you by means of your friends. After all, your date is probably just as tense as you are and it will give them a chance to talk to someone of their own sex every now and again. Just make sure that it does not turn into a segregated evening with the guys talking football and drinking too much and the girls getting bored and drinking too much! You must remember to talk to your date more than you talk to anyone else.

It might be a good plan to invite a couple that will say good things about you, if you really like your date and you want to see them again, although you shouldn't prompt them to sing your praises, as it will only sound false. It will be better in the long run, if you let your date see you for what you are, otherwise you are only being false, which means you're only putting off the inescapable.

Your date will get a very good impression about the kind of person you are from observing the company you keep the things they do and the things they say about you. It is a really good method to get another perspective on the person you are going out with or if you want your date to know more about you.

So, double dating provides a comfortable experience when you don?t want to go out with your date alone but you do want to get to know them and people have been doing it this way for at least a hundred years.

In addition, double dating provides an admirable method for you and your date to observe how each other of you interrelate with your friends and other people like waiters, waitresses, barmen and other staff personnel that one interacts with in one's usual daily life. These relationships can tell you a lot about someone. - 31368
