NWR - Finding other couples to hang out with

I know what you mean. Because we're kind of young, most of our friends are single. And those that aren't, we can't seem to get all 4 people to like each other. lol

We had the same problem until he left. FH now lives in San Diego, I know we will make plenty of friends once I more there (thanks to the military community), but I am so nervous about leaving the few friends I have here in IL. Making new friends especially couple friends is not easy.

We sort of have the same problem too. Several friends are having babies, some are single. I was on the other end of this problem a few years ago when I was the single one and all of my friends were in relationships. It's really hard to make friends as an adult, when everyone is at different stages in their lives! I like the idea of forming a group to meet other couples from WW!

I wonder if WW would be willing to look at making a group like that?!

Didnt some people use to have WW meetups? I know in Florida a handful of peeps said they wanted to but as far as I know no one really ever put it into play. Any couples in Central/east Florida that want to be friends hit me up. We have a beach...

We're in that boat, kind of. All of FH's friends are single and all they want is to go out and drink and party, and of course they don't want me around for that. All my friends have kids (and so do we) but they don't ever want to do anything without the kids. Play dates are fun, but so is grown up time. So we're stuck either doing things separately or with the kids. I haven't figured out a solution yet, because we're not the outgoing types to walk up to others and just start talking.

You let me know how that meeting couples online thing works. I'm scared of the internet, the only people I know that use the internet for meetups are for more intimate things that I don't want to share FH for lol.

Stephanie...I will totally let you know.

DH is a PO, so he'll probably run background checks LOL

kupples.com is not a swingers website...they check everything before they go live...maybe check that out?

I will! I've never heard of it. Thanks!

Take dance lessons, swing or ballroom or something, most other people there will be couples in the area, either old couples or others getting ready for their up coming nuptuals.

We are in the same situation! All over our friends are single and it seemed like the minute we got engaged we turned into the "old married couple". I have suggested signing up for different classes or things like that and FH wasnt going for it. He isnt a huge fan of going out, likes to just stay home. Makes it very hard to meet other couples!! Its like dating all over again :/ lol

I am actually really really lucky when it comes to this. my mom and dad have been friends with the same people since high school...and they are all "couple friends" and they all had kids around the same age...so i have hung out with the same people forever...now that we are older...our parents all still do stuff together and we all have FHs or SOs now...so we all hang out together.

Plus my bestie/MOH, her H & my FH work at the same place and since they both travel we hang out a lot....and they can hang out and talk about work. also her H used to be FHs football coach lol. and MOH & I have been BFFs since 5th grade. and FH & her H have known each other for years.

we also have ritual nights with different couples. like thursday night at "Dickfers" (long story lol) and sunday night pizza nights. its just making the time and putting in the effort. a lot of times we just sit around a campfire drink beer and shoot the sh!t.

It's hard for us right now. We've bounced around so much... and just keep moving. I'm an extrovert so it can be really difficult for me sometimes. We finally started going to a church consistently and are joining a young married couples group. Hopefully we can meet some other couples there. It's just for couples in their 20's & 30's who have been married less than 5 years. Surprisingly neat.

Man I was just gonna post about something similar...life sure becomes different when you become a we. Me and FH reallly dont do the couple thing for the most part we still hang out with each other and we rarely hang around each other friends and still dont have friends together but if we were to go that route that website sounds like a good idea

Well, when he's home we mostly hang out with his BFF and his fiancee. Most of my friends are single, or if they are dating they're in the puppy love stage where it's serious but not serious. My MOH is engaged, but she lives too far away.

Ah yes, the dating of other couples lol. A good majority of FH's friends are my friends/former collegues as well, being as we met through work...I know your DH is still getting settled at work with it being a new job, but once he starts making buddies this will probably get easier for you two to make friends with his collegues and their significant others. Definitely make sure you tag along for the station's BBQs, softball games, etc when they come up (especially with summer around the corner!) and you'll be able to meet some of hubby's coworker's significant others and see which ones you click with

Meetup.com is the best. I have gone to a few different meetups but none with the FI. We were thinking about a cooking class as well.

@Aretina...DH says most of his colleagues are much older than him...but he has mentioned to me numerous times that he wants me to come up and meet the guys and go to lunch with him when he works on weekends and I'm not doing anything. I'm sure he'll form a bond with some of the guys and hopefully they have wives (crossing fingers).

I actually convinced him to do the Kupple.com thing...ironic how it does feel like 'dating' all over again LOL.

@Sheldon..we'll have to look into some of those meetup groups. We're going to see how this Kupple.com thing works first and then go from there

We don't have very many couple friends either. FH's coworkers are all much older with children and live 45 min. away and my friends are mostly single

We have one couple friend and I have a friend that is in a long term relationship with her guy, I invited both to the wedding and when my dh met them we all said that we should go out for dinner or something.

The biggest problem is that my dh works some really crazy hours sometimes.

And to be fair, I dont like too many people most of the time.

I usually seem to attract the crazies, the people that want to just pop by without calling and want to stay for hours.

So while Im up to meeting new couples, I think it will be some time before we do lol
