Tons of fun once you're in a relationship. Early on, it can be tricky. I would say double dates shouldn't start until a few weeks into the relationship. Maybe a month. When you're still getting to know each other, sometimes having another couple along can be weird. You're still working out stuff like how affectionate you should be with each other in public, what the other person likes and dislikes, etc. Early on, adding another couple to the mix can sometimes add unnecessary pressure. Is your date comparing you guys to the other couple? Let's say you guys all go out for a night of booze and karaoke. If you're in the early stages of dating, your guy might think something like, "Oh man, Sara's boyfriend is an amazing karaoke performer. His rendition of 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' by Tears for Fears is so smooth, it literally brings tears to my eyes. I cannot compete with this amazing specimen of a man. Is Jen going to dump me for someone like Nick?" (Fyi, this is what every guy thinks when he double dates with me.)
Also, double dates instantly scream "we are a couple." There is nothing more couple-y than, say, playing mini-golf with another couple or heading over to Suzy and Dave's place for board game and margarita night. It is saying, "I have faith in this becoming a serious thing and want to introduce you to my friends." Be sure you, and your guy, are ready for that. Suggesting a double date too early could freak him out if you are just casually dating. Conversely, it can make the guy (or gal) think your feelings are stronger than they might actually be. "Oh, he wants to go tandem bike riding with Mike and Carol. We're going to be picking out rings in no time."
But once you're a couple, the double date is an important part of being an awesome couple. When I'm in a relationship, I pride myself on being one half of that fun, easygoing couple that everyone wants to double date with. A successful double date is sort of a rite of passage for any relationship. They say, "We're a power couple who are always up for bowling or trivia nights." Plus, they can also jazz up your relationship and get you out of the rut of always doing everything as a duo.
Any ideas for fun double dates? How long do you think you should wait before double dating? You'll know when it feels right, but I would always wait until at least the fifth or sixth date.

"(Fyi, this is what every guy thinks when he double dates with me.)"
It's true. ;)
My first official double date with my husband (a few weeks after declaring official boyfriend/girlfriend status) was also the first time I met his best friend and his wife. They apparently aren't so good with strangers... and refused to talk to me all night. I tried asking them questions about themselves over dinner (like, every 15 minutes or so - didn't pepper them with a barrage), tried bringing up open-ended topics of conversation, but I ultimately spent a lot of time not saying anything and giving Greg looks. Then they both fell asleep during the movie we saw. Awesome.
(Note: we get along WONDERFULLY now!)
I think double dates can also be used by shy guys in the early stages of dating.
I've kind of been seeing this guy for the past month and when he took me out the Saturday before Valentine's Day, he turned it into a double date at the last minute. I think he got nervous and wanted a friend there to ease potential awkwardness. Actually, it turned out to be fun.
That's a good idea. Glad it turned out well.
I've had that backfire on me, though. I went on a first date once with this girl I met through a friend. I show up for the date-- her friend is there too! She later told me she was nervous about the date and needed her friend's support. It was awkward, to say the least. We ended up only going out a couple times after that. Definitely fly solo on the first couple of dates.
So what do you do when your ex keeps asking out to go out on double dates with his couple friends? That's what I'm getting. Was with a guy for 6 months and he had a meltdown because what he feels for me isn't what he thinks love should feel like (he thinks love should be indicatedthe urge to buy me really expensive dinners). We broke up in December, got back together for the holidays, and then broke up again in January, but now he keep saying he wants us to go out with his couple friends, and refers to it as "couple time". What the heck am I supposed to think?
