Is this a literal "guys" or a figurative one?
For me, the whole point of dating is to find someone I'm genuinely interested in as a person and with whom I feel I share a connection.
If I meet a man and find him appealing, I'll exchange info with him. Initially we'll talk/text to see if there is anything there worth pursing. If so, then I'll mention doing something fun and informal, usually with a friend or two each. I find groups are less intimidating and conversation flows more naturally when you're just getting to know someone. In my experience being with friends helps to lower your guard and ensures you have fun regardless. Of course, there's always that one friend who'll embarrass you on purpose. If that goes well and both parties are still interested (no thanks to that one friend...) then it's on to a more formal date with just myself and the interested party. It all evolves from there. We either want to see each other and make a point of it or we don't and the whole thing dissolves. Easy peasy.
