Is it okay to do a double date for a first date?

Clarify this to me:
>would it be fine to take a girl I'm already familiar with on a double date?

You are familiar with your date, or your friend's date?

Also, how tight is your group? Could someone feel left out in this group of 4?

Avoid at all costs you are not going on there to be with other people you want just her and that is fucking it. Problems that can arise are infinite since you don't have control over that date.

Do your self a favor and avoid it.

Sorry, I have never met my friend's date; I was referring to my date. We hang out pretty regularly. My friend and I are really great at keeping things lively together and getting everyone in the conversation, which is the reason I considered it in the first place. Naturally, I'd be more focused on my date and he on his, but I figured we could keep everyone having fun.

Once again though, I don't know his date yet so there is a chance she could be weird.

I just want to have fun with her. I'm not expecting to get to know her intimately right off the bat. You're right though, I wouldn't have full control so if I can't escape and things go wrong, I'd be fucked. It's something I'll consider.

Ok. I mean, beyond the things just mentioned, a huge risk in a double date is that three of the four know each other really well and the last one is left out. You don't seem to have that problem.

Now, if you do stuff in the date that can naturally split you guys apart, you reduce some of the problems (like going to the movies, where you can just sit with your date, or to an amusement park, where again, you can split off in the rides, etc.)

Now, having diner together can go either way. It really depends on the group.

I was thinking of going to a jazz club and probably something else. I'll talk to my friend about it more, just to make sure we can do it correctly. If not, I guess I'll think of some other date idea

Thank you for the advice.
