Caroline, 23
The team leader: Caroline, an information broker, decided to spice up a traditional blind date by asking her two friends, Dominique and Liz, to join her on a night out using Grouper, the online social club that pairs groups of friends. Taking the lead is nothing new to Caroline — back in her days at Duke University, she was the captain of the school’s dance team.
Liz, 23
The high-school pal: Liz, an underwriter, has been friends with Caroline since their high-school days. No party is too crowded for the Upper East Sider — she describes her social attitude as “anything goes” and prides herself on being outgoing and confident.
Dominique, 25
The co-worker: Dominique became fast friends with Caroline at work, and the Upper East Side resident appreciates people who live life spontaneously. Like Liz, the analyst is also gregarious: In high school, she was given the superlative “Heard Before Seen.”
