[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had guy friends go on practice dates with me after my divorce. They were awesome and supportive. I would reach out and let them know you need some practice. Everyone likes a good dinner companion! [/quote]

I think this is different than what OP initially asked.  She wanted to tag along on guys night out as a way to practice.  That seems like it could be awkward and not really be dating practice unless you are going on the Bachelorette. It also still wouldn’t solve the underlying issue of where to meet guys to date for real since she doesn’t want to do online dating.  I think my first impression, until clarification posts, was that she was specifically interested in someone or wanted to be setup with someone in the group but was taking the plausible deniability route in case the guy wasn’t interested or it didn’t work out.

Going out one on one with on a practice date with different guy friends sounds like it could go either way.  Curious were the friendships such that there was no sexual interest either side on no one caught the feels?  Where did you meet guys for real dates?  I’ll admit I’m a sucker for the romance book storyline of the guy help the woman get the attention of another guy by practice of some sort and then realize they are perfect for each other in the process but IRL don’t know that it really happens that often.
