It\u2019s a common phenomenon that, once a couple settles into the joys of a relationship, hanging out with friends takes on a totally new dynamic. Whether you\u2019re a guy or a gal, hanging out with your single friends as a couple can get a little weird at times. And, in turn, your single friends end up feeling like the third wheel on your love bike. As a result, both singles and couples often find themselves spending time hanging out with their own kind rather than crossing the relationship-status divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you find a double-date as a new couple?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it seems like couples gravitate toward other couples, it\u2019s not always easy to find couple friends that you both get along with. And, just like dating, finding a couple that meshes well with the both of you can take some trial and error. It\u2019s almost like, well, dating.
\n<\/span>
\nHere are some tips on how to find the perfect couple for your double date\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double Date Who You Know
\n<\/b>It\u2019s worth starting the double date search by taking notice of the people in relationships that you already know. If you get along with someone who you know is in a relationship, you\u2019re already half-way down the road of finding a double date. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask Someone Out at Work
\n<\/b>Work may not be the best place to find someone to date casually but it\u2019s a great place to find other couples to double date casually. Think of that work friend who you\u2019ve always thought you\u2019d hit it off with and invite them out. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take It Slow<\/b>
Once you\u2019ve found a couple you\u2019re interested in, It might be worth asking them if they\u2019d like to get a drink or join you at an event. Just like dating, committing to a full-on dinner might be a bit premature. Instead, take it slow, try out some easy double date ideas<\/a>, and keep exploring the edges of your social circle. Soon, you\u2019ll have plenty of couple friends to double-up on fun activities with you and your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
