More About Triple Dating
Triple & group dates are a broad concept and there are many flexible, creative ways they can be used to create fun hangout/dating situations. Its almost too much to sum up on a page or two.
Some examples:
Let’s say you are a single female who wants to try online dating but are not serious about one on one dating or feel it might be awkward and you have some safety concerns about meeting men online through just profiles alone. The first thing to do would be to find one or two other like minded women either on tripledates.com or real world (yes, one of our goals is to bridge the online and offline dating worlds) who you can trust. On Tripledates.com you can use our profile system, chat, groups and many other features as well as get the help of facilitators and matchmakers to connect you with other like minded dating partners buddies. First step is to create a profile, if you have an offline friend who you trust and you get her permission to post pictures you can include her in your photo album or she can create a profile herself and make you a friend. (note” our friends feature is very basic now, we will be greatly enriching it and expanding it in the future to add much more flexibility, its a secret feature we have to keep hush hush for now as our coders are busy working on it)
We don’t require photos while we are a small site. Our Moderators just need to know you are not a spam profile. They can verify who you are either through video chat or in offline meetings, outings, parties and events of which we will be planning many or a friend who we know can vouch for you through word of mouth. There are some advantages to currently being small. We can focus and create a quality network while we beta test for a larger future roll out.
When you as a single female have a friend or two with whom you would like to go out with, one or all of you can then reach out to guys and see who they are, and who there triple dating partners and buddies might be. You perhaps can have a point person meet one of the guys, show photos of your dating partners to each other (you dont have to trade them, just show them) or you can use the online chat, group functions or perhaps a real world dating event to vet each other little. Then arrange an initial low pressure outing for something as simple as coffee or if you know each other well, perhaps a longer trip to a museum, movie etc. Use the site functions to toss around dating ideas.
What if your initial triple date matchup is not ideal, or mismatched somehow?
Lets say you have three women, but only meet two guys. You can ask those guys if they have other friends, tap their guy network, or you can get the help of a matchmaker or facilitator. A guy you meet online, might have an interesting real world friend who does not use the site. Depending on how adventurous you are, you can have one guy or gal act as a wingman or wingwoman and act as a scout while you are actually out on a date and in bar, club or some other venue approach people and ask them “Hi!, We are on a triple date and are missing a person. Want to join us?” or some other creative invitation. We are working on cards and other materials that we will be able to give or sell for a small fee to our early members that they can give to people to explain what Tripledates.com is. You can hand them out while on a “mismatched” outing to create more connections and create an expanding pool of more potential future dates, dating buddies or potential matchmakers. The whole world and people you meet offline then slowly become integrated with your online experience. Someone you hand a card to offline, may join the site and you can chat with them online in a reverse of the traditional internet meeting someone online and then going offline on a date. The potentials and possibilities are numerous and for some it might be necessary or helpful to get their feet wet with one of our more experienced facilitators or matchmakers who can accompany your group on a triple date and introduce you other people. Sometimes one or two people who are more shy can hookup with a more adventurous dating buddy & partner or facilitator who can make approaches for them on outings.
At the end of any triple date be respectful of one another and each others feelings and privacy. Some people who meet on a triple date outing may choose to go on one on one dates for their next date or they may agree to more low pressure triple dates. If that doesnt happen, dont feel bad or rejected, the special someone for you may be waiting at some future point in time. Agree to part friends and perhaps some of the people you meet if they get to know you well will act as potential matchmakers or wingmen/wingwomen for you in the future and introduce you to someone else. One of the ideas behind triple dating is for it in a way to be a slightly more in depth form of speed dating. You might need to meet and interact with a lot of people to help zero in on that special someone who will turn into a long term, lasting relationship. Thats a broad shotgun type approach. If you are looking for something very specific and want one on one dating, you can use our site for that as well. Maybe someone you meet on a group or triple date will by some strange cosmic twist of fate and synchronicity introduce you in the future to the perfect match. Tripledates is not just about meeting people to date, its also about meeting other like minded singles to hangout with who are in the same situation as you are and are actively or semi-actively dating and like to go out . Your real world friends might be in committed relationships, married or just not as much fun to hangout with.
