This is very common in Asia. The first few (not) dates they bring friends and you can too. Eventually, she gives an indication that she wants to do something alone with you and that’s when the real dates begin.

I mean we have those too, they’re called double dates. Would have been less awkward if the lady here asked for one of those.

Double dates aware there is two couples. This sounds more like she wants to bring her friend on to make her feel more comfortable on a first date.

Guy friends in asian also hold hands and hang on each others arms. Not really something you see in the west

Arranged marriage is also common in Asia

What an unprovoked comment.
Wherever you live, there are also many cultural issues that are equally unrelated to what I said.

This reeks of casual bigotry you should perhaps analyze the thought patterns that lead you to writing this.

You make a good point, but considering that the conversation is in English I don’t think you’d be too far out of the pale to assume that this is not in Asia, and in most English-speaking countries it’s not common to go on group dates before going on individual dates.
It does happen, and quite a bit, but not to the point where it’s common, I would say it’s at the very most uncommon.
