Isn’t it funny how once we settle into a new relationship, we end up falling into certain patterns. I suppose it’s only natural, but I still find it somewhat remarkable how easy it is to pick up a new routine and how hard it is to break out of one.
One of the most common patterns for couples to develop early on is their social routine. Some couples still paint the town red, socializing with their friends, while others feel best at home with just each other — sure, every once and a while you have to mix it up, but for the most part these categories stand. So ladies, when it comes to your usual relationships, which category do you fall in?

We're both naturally homebodies, but we try to go out at least once a week to keep things interesting.
1The boyfriend and i fall into the middle, but we don't work hard at it, it's just how we like to spend our time.
2Totally homebodies! We work all day so when we come home, we just want to kick back.
3A bit of both.
We both enjoy sitting at home doing nothing, laying in bed all day. But at the same time, we both like to get dressed up and hit the town for a night out!
Usually during the week when both of us are working, we just chill at home. But weekends we will go out at least once
4we're very compatible in this department.
5before we got married, however, my husband was NEVER home. now, hes the one to say "lets stay home" or "i cant wait to get home. but still we do alot of socializing. we're almost never MIA
We are both. We have two kids, but we have a lot of very close friends and family. We have a big house so sometimes during the week (in the summer) and just about every Friday and most Saturday's everyone comes over for dinner and to hang out for a bit, unless we decide otherwise. We are always having people over for stuff we love entertaining.
Week nights, and day time on the weekends we spend a lot of time with us and the kids. But it's nice cause the kids are in bed by 8:30 so we have a lot of time alone after they go to sleep.
6hmm . . .my life stays the same when i'm in a relationship.
with both of our careers, we're always out anyways. and we don't live together, so it's not like it's easier to stay at home.
there are always events; somebody's engagement party, a friend opening up a night club or restaurant,etc.
i think the original question is dependent on rather or not the indivduals in th e couple are homebodies in the first place.
7My hubby and I are homebodies. Him by choice, me beucase I work full-time and go to school full-time and make time for my workout almost everyday....the only thing I want to do is stay home when I have the time!
8we both work during the week, and he only has saturday off, so we usually spend it together at home, sometimes we venture out but usually its just the two of us.
9We fall somewhere in the middle, but we don't work hard at it. I think it's a little easier to fall in the middle because we're students, and have campus clubs we're both a part of which gets us out.
10We are SOOOO homebodies. We like dining out, but as soon as the meal is through, we go straight home and chill. Our favorite thing to do is catch up on all of our Tivo from the previous week. We both work so much we never get to watch TV during the week....
11Home *is* where our hearts are.
12Homebodies during the week (bf is in school, I like sleep), but we definitely go out on the weekends! By Friday I am ready for a cocktail (or two!) When we first met, we used to go out like every night, but now that we live together, that would seem a little pointless, not to mention expensive.
13(And our four children. And three cats.)
14Homebodies for sure...the perfect night involves pizza and the food network
15We're a good mix of both. My husband and I are both very social and love hanging out with our friends, so we go out at least one night on the weekend. But we also like to stay in and watch movies and get takeout sometimes too.
Being so similar in personality this way is great...I've dated unsocial guys in the past and it's really tough when one of you likes the social life more than other. It's better to be on the same page.
16More homebodies.
My boyfriend doesn't drink and mostly my friends like going to bars so I don't blame him for not wanting to deal with the weirdos and drunks at the bars my friends like to go to.
17I picked homebodies but we are good mix of the two. During the week we never go out. But we do go out on the weekend.
18We're similar to a few people here - we're homebodies during the week, and we go out during the weekends.
19We're a funny mix. We tend to be homebodies but then we'll go through these long phases of being out and about all the time, seeing this one and that one. That'll go on for 1-2 months, then we'll have a few weeks of just us.
20Total homebodies. We dont mind going out for dinner/meeting friends for dinner or occassionally a movie. However we are not into drinking/parties so if we do attend a party/bar its begrudgingly.
21We're definitely not out painting the town red, but we don't sit at home all the time either. I guess we're somewhere in between.
But if we had to pick between going to a trendy club or doing a crossword on the couch, we'd end up on the couch doing a crossword, drinking tea with a couple kitties curled up with us.
22We're more homebodies than I would like, but all our friends live about an hour away in different directions. That makes it hard to meet up for a night out.
23We're homebodies, but not necessarily by choice. I would personally like to get out more, but a.) Babysitters are hard to come by, and I feel uncomfortable asking Mom to watch our son, and b.) I don't get invited out by friends. Working on that last one, though.

25I think it depends on who I'm with. Personally i prefer to be out doing something, but I do enjoy alone time at home too.
26Hubby and I are total homebodies! It is funny cause I was talking to my mom about it and she made the comment that "the two of us wouldn't care if we had no friends as long as we have each other." That was when I decided that it was time to cultivate some "couples" and "adult" relationships. I really think that was a large part of our problem. A lot of our friends had very immature attitudes in that they wanted to just go out and get drunk all the time....or they were really uncomfortable doing things with us cause they were single. Now we try to get together with friends once a week for either dinner or brunch. It is hard though cause hubby works 6 days a week so we don't get a lot of alone time together so when we do I want to be selfish and have him to myself...I am working on it!
27We're not just homebodies, we're bed-bodies! During football season, we are tv bed-bodies...
28Definitely social butterflies.
29homebodies!
30we're such homebodies and we were both like that before we got together so it's great for both of us!
31We go out to dinner/movies by ourselves quite a bit, but I'd consider us total homebodies. We'd be completely happy never going to a bar or club again, ever. We balance things out by traveling as much as possible, so that keeps things exciting.
32We're both. My hubby always says, the family who plays together stays together. Plus, both of us are social butterflies especially, in the spring and summer...I think we have a good balance. We do tend to hibernate in the fall and winter.
33We're homebodies. Sometimes I wish we'd go out more but it's nice to save the money and spend time with the only person I really care to see.
