Have You Ever Tried Group Dating?

An interesting post in the dating forum by contactable asks: "Has anyone tried group dating like the ones they have in Japan, gokon it's called? Where someone brings their single friends to meet with other single friend and his/her friends? If you have tried it, did you think it is better than one - one dating? What was your experience like?"

I wasn't familiar with the term gokon until contactable asked, but I've definitely done the group dating thing: murder mystery parties, singles dinner parties, blind dates, single volunteers, singles social clubs, you name it. I've also suggested group dating to several clients and readers, with some surprising successes.

Have you ever tried gokan, or any other form of group dating? What did you enjoy about it? Would you recommend it? Why or why not?

Keeping the Love Alive in Long Distance Relationships

Long distance relationships seem to be a theme among my closest and dearest: my sister's husband is a military man, a good friend has a movie producer for a partner, and my Dad was a truck driver.

In each of these relationships, both partners have struggled (at times) to keep the love alive. It's difficult to stay connected sometimes to someone who lives mere minutes away, much less a partner who is stationed overseas or works remotely. Yet people in long distance relationships do it every single day. Some even manage to have "dates" together, which I find admirable.

Have you been in a long distance relationship? How have you managed to keep the love alive?

He Wants Kids, I'm Too Young - Dating Question

Chloe asks: "I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 31. He's ready to start a family with me, but I feel like I'm too young to even start thinking about having kids. I'm flattered that he wants me as the mother of his children but the thought scares me too. He's the only guy I've ever dated, and I really care about him a lot. How do I tell him I'm not ready for kids without him breaking up with me over it?"...

Dating Rules?

Women have Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider's The Rules, with dating rules are clearly spelled out explaining what a woman can do to net herself a marriage-minded man. Men, on the other hand, have The Game by Neil Strauss, a tell-all tome about pickup artists and how any man can have the woman of his dreams.

Personally, I found both of these takes on dating mildly offensive. Of course there are rules when it comes to dating and relating, and those who follow them have a higher-than-average chance of succeeding (depending on your definition of success). But do we need to buy into stereotypes to find someone?

This is why I think there need to be new dating rules put into place for all singles to agree to, no matter what their sexual orientation, dating strategy or long-term goals. Dating is dating, and it behooves us all to abide by some simple yet straightforward rules, don't you think?

I've already come up with dating rules to meet someone new, and am working on dating rules that are more general in nature - but would love your opinion. Tell me: what you think the rules of dating should be?

Why Am I Not Getting Any Responses To My Dating Profile?

A reader recently asked, "I've been single for a while now, have joined quite a few free dating sites, and I either get matches by people from the states (I live in Ontario, Canada) or from guys that are not in my age range. Or not even anything I would like. Or on the other hand, if I send a message to somebody, they don't reply back. What am I doing wrong?"

I think there are four main reasons why this lady has not received any responses to her dating profile that she finds acceptable, and have answered them in great detail already. (see: Why Am I Not Getting Any Responses To My Dating Profile?) Do you think I've missed any, or have further ideas and suggestions?

Why Did He Stop Calling? Dating Question

cptrainer1 asks: I met this guy on the bus. We both were riding it to work each day for months, and one day he decided to finally talk to me. He got my number, and invited me to see his band play. He then called me a number of times after just to talk. I was not sure if he saw me as a friend or a potential mate. He stopped calling 2 weeks ago.

I'm not sure why, and we never had an official date or sexual contact. He tried to invite himself over to my house twice, but each time I was busy or he was busy. The last time we talked he had me watch a movie he suggested.

Anyway, he told me to call him after the movie was over, to tell him what I thought, so I did. He did not answer or call back. Then almost a week later I called again, and he did not answer or call back. He also got his car fixed so he does not take the bus to work anymore - but he did let me know that ahead of time. Why did he stop calling?
