Group dating is a modern pattern for dating where a group of single men and a group of single women organise a night out, with the hope of forming romantic partnerships. It is most popular in Japan where it is called "compa" or "goukon." It has become popular because many Japanese find it difficult to find a partner. Group dating can also be found in many other countries, however, compa is very ritualized and unique. Generally, a single guy and girl who know each other organize the compa in advance, each agreeing to bring 3 or 4 eligible friends. The venue is usually a restaurant, izakaya, or anywhere people can eat, drink and make a bit of noise. In other cultures, group dating is becoming more popular as a safe alternative to single dating (especially blind dating), also helping to ease tension, since both parties will feel more comfortable having the company of their friends. Group dating is often recommended by parenting experts as more age appropriate form of dating for preteens then one on one dating. From Wikipedia under the

Q. hey when do you think is a good age for a gf? cuz at my middle school theres people kissing at ages like 11,12,13. and i just want a gf.not a sexual kind of thing like kissing wat is the right age for no-kissing but just gf/bf going to movies with friends? Asked by lil.helper - Thu May 24 19:58:30 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am 13. As much as I would love to start dating now, I have to say 15. That is when I want start dating if its ok with my parents. I think that having a relationship like the one you are describing at such a young age is just begging for you to, well, you know. There is no point anyways. There is a very low chance that you will find the person that you will mary at 11, 12, or 13 years old.
