Bad idea for a few reasons:
1. I know this is not a very popular opinion, but you’re friends do not need to know when you’re going out unless it somehow comes out (meeting each other on a date) or maybe if its right before an engagement. Girls (and boys) who are single dont make good dating mentors for various reasons.
2. You dont want your friend forming his/her own opinion of your date and then be the “helpful” friend later on and talk you into or out of something you aren’t comfortable with that you may come to regret. Like I said before, single friends are not people to discuss dates/dating in general with. (Thats also why shmoozing about a chosson/kallah is not either the best thing)
3. This is really an opinion thing, but once you are at a stage where you are comfortable with your friend meeting him, it means you’re at a “chummy” stage which is a bad idea for dating in general. Dating is a path to marriage, not a path to having fun. (Just dont lose sight of the goal.)
I’m pretty sure there was another reason, but can’t think of it right now.
Can I ask what benefit there would be to meeting this way?
In effort to avoid any tomatoes that may be thrown at me, this is just my opinion.
