We're social creatures, we're always going to want companionship, and when friends can't be there to fill those needs, we're going to look for the stronger commitment, the SO. That's why some people stay with their SO even when their SO totally sucks, the company is still important to them. Er, along with several other reasons.
I hate those couples, and Kevin and I always try not to be one of those couples (especially the extreme PDA couples that have no problem making out in front of others). We're not great at being social in general, but when it comes to my friends, we consciously avoid going into that "no one exists but us" mode. I knew a couple that was like this in my book club. They would show up and not talk to anyone but each other, so after a while the person who made the book club stopped inviting them because they never actually participated (didn't even finish the readings at times) and it often felt like we were intruding on their date. So annoying.
