double dates

Two couples together

Double dates are social outings where two couples go together rather than separately—dinner, movies, or other activities shared as a foursome.

The arrangement can ease awkwardness for new couples, let established couples socialize, or serve as a compromise when friends want to spend time together without abandoning their partners: Let's double date this weekend.
