As some people may know, Ignighter is a group dating site. But what you may not know is that group dating happens all over the world. Obviously in any particular American city on any particular Saturday night, you can find groups of guys informally going out with groups of girls, but have you ever heard of a “compa”?

Group dating is a cultural norm in Japan and over there they call it “compa”, from the English word “companion”. Ignighter is definitely hoping to expand our reach into Japan to help facilitate these fun groups dates that are already happening all the time!

For more details on “compa” check out a post we wrote a few months back on the Ignighter blog. There are some interesting rituals attached to the compa that may surprise you!
