My first group date in Kumamoto: Thinking about how to interact with women and how to receive them

On Friday, I went to
my first group date It's a proper company-sponsored thing.

People who go to group dates for the first time are probably wondering what kind of event they are going to be.
I've written a little about that and my thoughts.

Let's do our best!

He was five men and seven women.

It is located at a bar called "Tamako SOUL" located on Shimodori, Kumamoto.

This is my first time visiting, and the staff were very courteous.

Things you need to attend a first-time group date

It was my first time at the group date, so I was nervous.
The reason for participating in the first place to practice conversations for "matchmaking" .
This is because you really need to get used to talking to women.

1How to apply

This time's group date was sponsored by someone I've been friends with, and I applied through Facebook.
In addition, there are cases where information magazines from newspaper companies, or municipalities create their own planning sites and recruit them.

Another thing is to receive
an invitation I realized this while looking for a matchmaking service, but most men participate alone, while most women take their friends .

The reason is that in men, if they really fall in love with the same person , it will be awkward and a fight.
For women, it's a bit uneasy to be alone! I think that's the big thing.

2About the participation fees and other expenses for group dates

This depends on the planner, but the average price is around
5,000 yen for men and 2,000 yen for women or 3,000 yen for women Some women are free for 1,000 yen or free! There are things like that, but I don't want to go to that kind of thing.

There are always people who are eating (following food)

3What if you suddenly can't participate?

This time, some people were absent due to bad weather or work reasons.
There is no etiquette to cancel just before the start time.

Regarding cancellations, the day before was ～～yen. The full price is on the day.
There are many places where the system is constructed like this.
It's like a hotel cancellation fee.

How should I interact with women?

Well, I paid the participation fee, checked my luggage and ordered a drink!
Women are coming to the store one after another.
I have to say hello here with a big smile!

And if you don't seem to know what to do, let me show you a quick guide.
First, it's a good impression strategy.

The mindset I focused on this time :
- Be interested in the other person
, be sure to react to what they say
, be sympathetic and answer questions
, speak out firmly
, and not be too careful
.

The start time has come.
This time there are fewer men, so the story takes place in a rather hard way, with two or three women vs. one man.
The tables are divided into three sections, and the men rotate in about 30 minutes.

There was a single woman at the first table.
"Good evening. There was traffic jam today."

He greeted me with something like this, and said that his friends would soon be coming.
And I came to the store late and gave a greeting again

We analyze the other person's hobbies and tastes through conversations such as "Good evening, it's my first time" or
"Did you go home from work?",

"I'm going on a trip abroad next time..."
Oh, do you like travel?

"Wow! It's great to travel! When will you go?"
"It's March. Let's have friends together (^^♪"
Hmm

"It's fun when you're with friends! Why did you think you were going to @@(location)?"
"Because you want to be soothed by the scenery that you don't have in Japan."
Is that tired? I think so.

"That's great! The scenery makes me feel soothed. I understand."
"That's right, can't you travel?"

Oh, answer the question.
"I actually have no experience abroad. Where would I start?"
"I recommend it because it's close to Korea and can go straight away♪"

In this way, to listen to 70% and talk to 30%.

As expected from being alone, the organizer came to help out, perhaps because it looked difficult.
However, this guy is so good at talking, he's interesting!
He's also good at making things a little better, and he's really good at it.

This is helpful.
That's how I continued to go around each table.

What kind of people will come?

At the end of the game, we do something like a progress vote.
This is to teach the organizers who would like to talk about again.

I sent out the name of someone else and was shown to that person's seat.

Now, what kind of people are participating is that men are all different, including self-employed people and office workers.
It seemed that the women had a large number of general staff.

Among them, the two young men were very interesting to talk about, and the women there were laughing out loud.

Finally, I was at the same table as that person, but my presence was blurred. . . . 💦

That's how it's time.

What will the result be? summary

In the end, the funny guy from the story brought someone I liked 😿
But I thought that even if a man was unilaterally talking and getting excited and getting a lot of support from women,
it would only be the first time that women were popular

I don't know if they're getting bored of it from the second half, but I also felt that they'd matched it.

Everyone went home quickly after the party ended lol

If the impression is really good, they'd be willing to exchange lines.

If a man feels that he has fun talking, that's a red flag.
There's a high possibility that women are getting fed up!

I try to have the women enjoy talking as much as possible , and the men listen to it and have fun.
I thought that was important.

Well, tomorrow is a marriage partner.
I want to have the same mindset and enjoyment.

That's it, Taiko!
