7/12 Second topic : The difference between "So-gai-ting" and "meeting".

<p>The difference between "So-gai-ting" and "meeting". </p><p>  Generally, there are two types of blind dates in terms of the number of people who participate in. In other words, if there is only one man and one woman who participate in the blind date, that is called "So-gai-ting." In the other one, which is called "Meeting", there is no limit in number of people who can participate. But the general number of people in Meeting is from 3 to 4 from each side. </p><p>Generally we do "So-gai-ting" to meet someone we can go out with in the future. But we do "Meeting" to meet new people and enjoy one day with them as well as to find a girlfriend/boyfriend. So if you do "so-gai-ting", you have a 50-50 chance. If you like your partner, then good for you, but if you don't, you feel like you are wasting your money and time. You have to take a risk to do "so-gai-ting". </p><p>Let’s talk about blind dates.
