"  I rely on my best gay friend, Derek (Hi Derek!), for just about everything \u2014 except dating advice. But this may be because I don&amp;#039;t think wearing my tightest pants on a first date is the best way to a man&amp;#039;s heart.  I would, however, be totally up for double-dating with Derek, as I like to spend as much of my free time as possible with him. So when he sent me this incredibly innovative post he was forwarded from online dating site Ok Cupid, I wrote back &amp;quot;YES! YES! YES!&amp;quot; before I remembered I have yet to even venture into the world of online dating and he wasn&amp;#039;t actually suggesting we give it a go. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re trying a new approach to online dating. We&amp;#039;re looking to quad date,&amp;quot; the post from two male friends read, indicating one was gay and one was straight. &amp;quot;If you are a gay man, and have a single bestie girlfriend, hit us up. If you are a girl with a bestie guy bud, hit us up.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Is this the perfect dating idea, or what?!&amp;quot; I thought, as I read on.  &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s all four go out, drink cheap drinks, chat it up, and talk gurl talk. OR dawg talk,&amp;quot; it joked. Or I hope it joked. Whatev. &amp;quot;Because this is such a specific profile, we don&amp;#039;t reach out. We want duos who are interested and wanna give quading a shot. So hit us up!&amp;quot; I was surprised that the dating website, which specifically pairs individuals one-on-one, didn&amp;#039;t somehow block this innovative twosome, but I nevertheless applauded them for their creativity.  Although, not entirely their originality. A &amp;quot;wingman&amp;quot; dating website called Tandem, calling itself a &amp;quot;two on two meet-up site,&amp;quot; launched in October 2012, specifically for friends to go on dates together.  Still, there&amp;#039;s something about &amp;quot;quad dating&amp;quot; I find a whole lot more adorable. I&amp;#039;d do it (I think). Would you?  Want more from Carson? Follow her on Twitter.
