Grouper

Grouper sets up group dates for you and your friends. A group of three of you can sign up, for example, and one of you manages the account by answering a questionnaire. Grouper then chooses your dates, a location, and sends email and text updates. One caveat is cost. Each person pays about $17 for the service, so that’s $51 for the three of you. But if you hate the usual one-on-one date setup, it might be a worthwhile service.

Coffee Meets Bagel

Coffee Meets Bagel boasts that its app focuses on quality over quantity, unlike Tinder—though it also requires Face-book. When you sign up, you get one match a day delivered at noon. You have 24 hours to “like” the match. If the likes are mutual, you can instantly chat without giving away person-al info. The app uses Facebook to match you primarily with your friends’ friends—so you have a chance to ask around before your date.

Online dating takes a lot of trial and error, so don’t be too discour-aged if your first attempts aren’t stellar. Try out one or two at a time so it doesn’t become a time-sucking obsession. There’re only so many out-of-nowhere “DTF?” messages you can take.
