I Love You, Let's Meet

this Japanese dating configuration kind of appeals to me, but it’s also obviously less efficient and potentially painful. I bet a lot of times all four gals want the same guy or vice versa.

In the 90s, my friend Barbara and I placed a double-date personal ad in the Washington City Paper, and we both liked the same guy. I don’t think either guy liked either of us “that way.” But it was less boring than being stuck with one person you don’t hit it off with. And if social ease matters to you, it is good to see a potential mate interact with others, I suppose.
