What was your first date like? Mine was not very romantic since we were both too nervous to really enjoy the date. It was really a group date so we kind of just talk to each other over foods and in between conversation with other friends.

Group dates are the least awkward kind of date, and I think that's why a lot of people do them.
It takes a lot of the spotlight off of the two of you as a couple and makes conversation easier.

What is a Group date like? I never experienced it, I don't want to anyways Lol

Is it more like an Outing where all the friends have a nice time, eating and chatting with each other? If yes, how do the lovers get a chance to talk and get to know each other? I would rather prefer a lonely place with just me and my BF. That is the best way for a first date than just smudging up in a crowd of people/friends.

Well, in a group date, you are not forced to talk.

If you end up not liking the person you are on a date with, you aren't forced into an awkward position.

I don't mind them, they can be a lot of fun if you find a fun group activity that also lets the couples break off to be alone.

I like the idea of a group date if you are on a blind date or have been set up. That takes a lot of the pressure off you so you don't feel like you have to do all the talking. It also gives you an opportunity to hang out with friends at the same time, which is a plus.

My first date with the boyfriend I have known since my freshman year in high school was basically just a walk to the bus stop that ended in a hug. It was nice, not very romantic though.

My first date was sooooo embarrassing!

I was 14 and my friend and I met a couple of boys at our local dance. My friend was a chatty, confident type of girl but I was painfully shy with boys. Anyway, we arranged to meet these boys on a Saturday down at our local coffee bar. I remember the day as if it was yesterday ...... whilst my friend and her new bf chatted and laughed easily together, I couldn't think of a thing to say to the boy I was with and we ended up not speaking at all.

The daftest thing is I felt as if I was the one at fault not being able to think of anything funny (or anything anything at all, really) and that I was the failure.

Of course, looking back, I didn't realize that it wasn't my 'fault' at all! I mean, where was the rule written that making conversation was all up to me? What was up with the boy's tongue?!!

I can only imagine a date where nobody is talking!

That's why I think that group dates are the best kind - there is bound to be somebody chatting it up so that you don't have to!

Group dates are highly recommended for young ones who just start dating. Usually there is an adult around somewhere so none of them go off and start petting or getting too intimate.

That's another really good point about group dates. For the younger ones, an adult can take 4 kids to the movies and things are a lot less awkward, and it kind of sets the tone for the "date". They are on a date, but it shows a good example of how a first date should be.

This wasn't a first date, but it was a kind of date, it was a church banquet and this guy asked me to be his date, I agreed and went. He was such a shy fellow, I tried to talk to him three times and he just answered to the point and then continued to eat, so I just started talking to my friends beside me. (That was bad of me)
