"If you&amp;#x27;re in a relationship, do you have couple friends? Aaron and I are finally starting to, but it&amp;#x27;s taken a while. And, according to a recent study, it could help us keep our relationship feeling fresh and more romantic. If you&amp;#x27;re looking for couple friends of your own, here&amp;#x27;s a few places to look: 1. Go Wine Tasting Confession: Aaron and I drink a lot of red wine these days. So we decided to channel our favorite activity by heading to a tasting event the other day. Pretty much everyone in the class was part of couple, and the endless vino made making friends way less awkward. To turn your tablemates into for-real friends, check out the tasting schedule and make plans to meet up for the next one. 2. Throw an Open House Even if you&amp;#x27;ve lived in your place for years, we&amp;#x27;re betting you don&amp;#x27;t know all your neighbors. Invite &amp;#x27;em over for potluck apps and supply the drinks. When the topic of new restaurants in the area comes up (doesn&amp;#x27;t it seem like it always does?), invite one or two couples to check it out. 3. Look Around Your Office Do you overhear your cube-mate arguing on the phone with her boyfriend about what they should eat for dinner? The next time she gets off the phone, casually mention that you have the same problem with your man and suggest that you guys should totally all go out sometime. Working at the same place will help you find some common-ground to begin conversation. Tip: Don&amp;#x27;t spend the whole date talking about the office&amp;amp;mdash;your S.O.&amp;#x27;s will be bored out of their minds. 4. Volunteer with Your Man Love animals? Spend a few hours volunteering at the humane society. It&amp;#x27;s an unexpected activity that will bring you closer together, and it also gives you the chance to meet other couples. Chances are they won&amp;#x27;t be volunteering together, but you&amp;#x27;ll most likely make a new friend who has a significant other that he or she can&amp;#x27;t wait to introduce the two of you to. 5. Take a Vacation You need one anyway, right? I sure do&amp;amp;mdash;seriously snow, enough. Cruises and adults-only, all-inclusive spots offer the best options for meeting like-minded couples, but Aaron and I have found new friends on pretty much every getaway we&amp;#x27;ve taken. The only tricky thing about this one is that your new besties may live several states away. But just think: You&amp;#x27;ll have a new place visit! 6. Look Online When my single friends are looking for men, they head online (check out Glamour Matchmaker if you&amp;#x27;re looking!), and I always wished there was a similar idea for couples. Turns out, there is. Sites like kupple.com and hangbase.com let you browse couples by location and interest. I may just have to give that a try... So tell me, do you have couple friends? Where did you meet them? Would you ever consider looking for them online? What&amp;#x27;s With All the Spam in the Comments Section? Sick of all those annoying ads in the comments section lately?
