Types of suitable available mates In many cultural traditions, dates are arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, an acquaintance, or a dedicated matchmaker. Traditional dating activities include sharing entertainment or a meal. In general, a person may date many different partners during the same time period in order to have the best chance of finding their most suitable available mate.
Types of dates
• Regular date.
• Double date: two couples meet for an activity.
• Group date: an activity shared by two or more couples.
• Blind Date: a date where the participants have not met each other personally before (although may have seen each other's pictures); usually set up by a third party or an internet dating service.
• Long Distance: Due to a long distance relationship, dating only when one, or both parties are on holiday or vacation and are together during that time period. |
