A new dating app called Grouper is designed to match people together while avoiding the awkwardness of that initial first meeting.
You sign up to the website, answer a few questions about yourself and then allow the company take a look at your Facebook profile before they match you up with a suitable date.
The app instructs you to pick two wingmen or wingwomen to the chosen venue. There is a fee of £12 (€14.50) that must be paid beforehand but Grouper then coughs up for the first round of drinks.
Interestingly, research has found that 96% of those who go on a Grouper date wish to go on a second.
The concept of Grouper was thought up by New-York based entrepreneur who wishes 'to end loneliness'.
'I started Grouper when I first moved to New York as a way to meet new people,' he told DNA Info New York. 'Grouper has been a great way for our members to meet new friends, expand their social circles as well as start relationships,' he says.
The Grouper craze began in New York and has spread to London where it's going down a storm.
