Should I bring another couple with me on a first date? I really don't want the guy to feel uncomfortable but it also might ease the pressure. Any advice?

Yes....they may ease the pressure for you, but keep in mind he'll be with 3 people he doesn't know, rather than 1.

BTW...what would be your opinion of a guy asking you to go on a first date with him and a couple that he knows?

...only if you let him know in advance and he's in agreement.

What if he's more attracted to the other female than he is to you?

Dating is stressful enough without the add-ons.

Rather than bring another couple, if I felt the need to have somebody there (just in case) I would have the other couple be near enough to see but not to introduce.

Another table in a restaurant, for instance. They could still keep an eye on you without interference. Wouldn't that work?

No, that's not a good idea. You want to get to know him, and he wants to get to know you, and that's tough when there's another couple around.

OMG. Unless I were in high school, to me it would be, like, weird to bring another couple to a first date. Totally

^^ Agreed. Unless you're of some religious faith that requires your dates to be chaperoned...which I don't think is the case here.

No double dating for the first date, what is your reasoning to think this is a good idea?
