You might ask, “What’s the use of a Group Date?” It’s an opportunity to meet different people who have an interest in a committed relationship, all in a single date. Your Group Date may include wine tasting, cooking classes, hiking, rock climbing, or learning something new. These events put people in situations where they work towards the same goal -- something that brings out the best in each of us.

That’s right, we have done the unthinkable: we've made blind dates fun.

A Group Date brings together six to ten GND members and pairs them up with our Social Matchmaking Dating process through their interests, personality type, membership profiles, and more. But don't worry, you're not on your own; every Group Date has a GND Host to get the conversation going and make sure that everyone feels comfortable while getting to know each other. With Group Dates, you can expect:

• A 60-90 minute event in a public place (coffee house, wine bar, art gallery, etc.)
• A group of fun professionals that meet the GND standard
• An opportunity to have fun and meet new people

If you go on a Group Date, GND asks that you hold up your end of the bargain: come prepared, dress for the occasion, and be open to meeting new people. That's not that hard, is it? Remember, you're making a first impression on these people; whether the future holds friendship, business contact, or even meeting your Guy or Girl Next Door, you'll never know unless you put your best foot forward.

Be honest, talk with other people, and you'll be surprised at how much fun a Group Date can be -- and if you feel a connection with someone, GND encourages you to make plans to get together and give things a shot!

As always, GND welcomes your feedback on the Group Date process and the event itself. If you've got questions, please contact us or drop by our offices; if you're ready to go, sign up today!
