This is chronicling the 1986-89 version of The Dating Game now known as The All New Dating Game.
== Gameplay ==
Generally, the bachelorette would ask a series of questions to each of the three hidden bachelors. The same question could be asked to multiple bachelors. The questions were written in advance by the producers. Certain kinds of questions such as name, age, occupation, and income cannot be asked. The process continued until time ran out. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions. After making her choice, the bachelorette met the two unchosen bachelors before meeting the chosen one. When all said and done, the dating couple went out on a dream vacation which was paid by the producers. Occasionally, the bachelor would ask questions to three bachelorettes.
===Rule Changes===
*The picker would ask only three questions.
*The dating couple's trip was selected in a blind draw from a choice of three envelopes numbered 1, 2 & 3.
*For the first few weeks of Jeff MacGregor's tenure, the second game would be replaced with a chat with a dating couple from a previous show.
