    This is very common in Asia. The first few (not) dates they bring friends and you can too. Eventually, she gives an indication that she wants to do something alone with you and that’s when the real dates begin.

      Guy friends in asian also hold hands and hang on each others arms. Not really something you see in the west

      I mean we have those too, they’re called double dates. Would have been less awkward if the lady here asked for one of those.

      You make a good point, but considering that the conversation is in English I don’t think you’d be too far out of the pale to assume that this is not in Asia, and in most English-speaking countries it’s not common to go on group dates before going on individual dates.

      It does happen, and quite a bit, but not to the point where it’s common, I would say it’s at the very most uncommon.
