Where do You Find Couples to Hang Out With?

[yacapo]

I'm doing some research here. If you are a couple, married or not, could you tell me how and where you are able to meet other couples you can hang out with?

My wife and I barely know any young couples, let alone married couples. I have my friends and she has hers but we barely hang out with them since they are single and we are not.

Gawd, I have the opposite problem. Nearly all of my friends are in couples. Wanna swap?

Unfortunately I can't actually help you, I met all my friends at places you'd generally meet single people. They were just either in couples at the time, hanging out as a group, or they became couples later.

Hey yacapo

Why not ask yourself where would you like to hang around as a couple to start with?

Also how about considering to join some interest groups where it generally involves couples, say dancing (that is if you're into it)? Or some form of community service for example. Just some ideas. You probably can check out what's happening around your neighbourhood.

If all else fails, why not be proactive and organise a couples party? Then advertise and lo and behold! You're on your way to making friends!

Cool?

Why not invite her friends and your friends to a party at your house?

You never know what couples might result!





ps (If they are like my friends - I'd lock your bedroom door!)

Are you talking swing sex here or just buddies? Because adults don't generally freak out "oh my god, we don't have any couple to hang out with". You can hang out with your neighbours, co-workers, etc.

I humbly disagree! If you're one of the only couples you know, you have the problem of not being able to have one friend over without possibly creating a third wheel situation. You don't have other people to laugh/bitch about the funny parts of being in a relationship with. And if your single friends also happen to be lonely, it can be really annoying to them to hang out with you as a couple all the time. And while you do need one-on-one time with friends, part of the fun of being in a relationship is to hang out with your significant other in a group, showing them off and watching them interact with people.

Exactly! Because while you can soak yourself dry with all the information on love and relationships from books, what could be the next best way, if not the best way to learn then from real-life couples!

Everyone has a story or two to share. The interactions will surely be fun. More so if the couples decide to bring some singles friends and have some Cupids get-together! Wonderful!

Thanks for you responses. The reason I asked is because my wife and I just founded a website to help couples find couple-friends in their area. I was curious about how people were meeting their friends.

I found a lot of people online that said they were tired of not having many couple-friends, so we decided to start the website. If you are interested, you can click on the link in my signature.

NOTE: It's not a swingers site. It's just for couples looking for other couples to hang out with, and maybe become good friends.
