anyone ever been hooked up before by a friend?
recently met a girl at a dinner party. i didnt have much chance to talk to her as the table was large and busy. so after dinner i asked her friend to hook me up. the girl is a mutual friend of my buddy as well through family. anyway instead of me directly reaching out to her they setup the date for us. the first date is apparently a group date and i have never experienced this before. they want to give us a chance to chat (the other two are her friends who are also my friends). anyway i heard through my buddy that she is "ok" with me but wants to be friends first. i think thats fine but i impressed the point that im looking for a serious relationship and 'they' agreed.
just wondering if anyone has gone through this kind of hookup before? if it helps they are from a very respectable family of immigrants (asian) whom im friends with, so there is a culture gap. should i be looking for anything in particular? i asked her friend for some tips and she said stuff such as no touching on first date (unless stuff like high fives or something) and not to be pushy. just wondering if anyone else experience such dates.
ps. wanting to be "friends" first sets my alarm bells. should i be concerned?
