    Mrs. Bee and I haven't really double dated much... but we don't know that many couples.  It's so hard to find another couple where both me and Mrs. Bee know and like both partners!  So we just stay home and double date with Smokey and Sparky, our cats.

    How about you - do you double date with other couples?

    We do most of our socializing with other couples.  Mostly dinners and such, but occasionally we geek out and WOW couple vs couple in LAN cafes.

    We double date with my FI's Best Man and his SO all the time.  It's fun to hang out with a couple, because you don't have to worry about PDA or anything.  Like if we go out with my single friends and give a kiss or hold hands or something they always seem to say "Get a room!"  Hello??  We're getting married!  I think I'm entitled here!

    We occasionally go on double dates, but we don't have many friends who are in relationships at the moment.  It's usually a bit awkward, where one side of the table talks and the other remains somewhat quiet.  Possibly when we get older we'll find more couples to go on double dates with.  At the moment we are very content on spending time together with friends who may or may not be in a relationship.

    We double date when we can (we have one couple we get together with in Chicago when Mr LL comes to visit,  and one couple we will probably get together with in California)

    In college we did all the time, now we still do, but there are only a few other couples we go out with often. I think it only works when you both like the people your with. We are lucky to have a few couples we both really enjoy hanging out with.

    There's really only one couple that we double with. While most of our friends are in relationships, I either don't have much in common with his friend's girlfriends, or he doesn't have much in common with my friend's boyfriends.

    Most of my old college friends have moved away from the city and my husband and I are making new friends who all seem to be married couples! Really that is not too common in our grander social circle, since most people are still young and single. I wonder what psychic energy is drawing us together. We don't really double date them but when we hang out it's almost all couples.

    I always want to double date, but none of our friends (all guys) have girlfriends. Its a major dissapointment. We used to with my roommate and her boyfriend (now FI) on occasion, but they are more obsessive with eachother and anti social.

    We double date a lot! FI is an identical twin (like MrBee!) so we go out with FBIL and his fiancee a lot. It's fun to have a double date built in.

    All our friends are either married, engaged or dating someone as well so we have a lot of double dates occur when we see our friends.

    We love to double date! Sometimes we go with my fiance's friends and their SOs, or my friends and their SOs. Sometimes we even mix them together. They get to meet new couples, and we get to hang out with friends. It's a great system!

    We hang out mostly with my best friend who is single. We have a couple couple friends, but their still into going to the bar and were not, we like to stay home most of the time or just go out to dinner. We actually were just introduced to another couple, so we'll see how that goes!

    We're definitely not double date type people. If we do anything, it's with a group of friends. Some of them happen to be couples, but for some reason the idea of double dates seems weird to me (not for others, but for our dynamics). I think it might be because we're casual people?

    We double (err triple) date a lot with my two sisters and their husbands.  Aside from that, we have a lot of single friends who we go out with in big groups.

    Occasionally. My FI's best friend met his girlfriend on the same dating site as we met on, right at the same time we met. We hang out with them from time to time, but not too often as his best friend annoys me, but I do like his girlfriend.

    We double date a lot, but not intentionally! It just kind of turned out that our group of college friends split into couples.  Out of the ten or so of us who were orignially just friends, six are engaged or already married! I guess that makes us all very lucky. :)

    We do!  It makes us more affectionate I think, if  that makes more sense...it gets us out of our grouchy chore/work routine...plus, we are less apt to just talk about the wedding (to dos) with our friends...just the fun stuff w/ them which we LIKE talking about!

    We don't necessarily "double date", but we do hang out with my sister and her husband a lot :)
