Recently I got talking to a lovely single guy who I was really looking forward to meeting.
Then out of the blue he told me that he had previously played with someone else and they agreed to buddy up and tell each other of any other meets.
Apparently when he told her of our pending meet she was not happy and he called it off.
I have had time to think about this and actually feel quite annoyed that he didn't tell me of this agreement before offering to meet me, or at least talk to her before offering. I don't like the fact that I didn't know he had a buddy or that I was going to be topic of conversation and most of all that a 3rd person could decide if I was ok to be met or not.
Is this a typical situation and what are your feelings on this? Has it ever happened to you?
This thread raises a couple of questions for me.
Yes, I agree that if a potential playmate had a Buddy with whom they discuss other meetings with the power of veto, it would be best to know that at the outset. It measures up almost with meeting someone who plays seperately from their 'actual' partner if there are those levels of discussion. And this may be a situaution that you may not have wanted to get into in the first place.
We have a 'Descretion' thread running at present too... so where does the descretion come into the equation when you discover after chatting etc that you have been a subject of disection and evaluation with an unknown third party?
then of course, a slim though viable link here... is how the opinions of others may alter once it is known that you may/maynot have met with a certain someone. The opinions of others do tend to travel and echo through sites like these (speaking very generaly of course) and could change the perception of a person you have previously already been chatting away to quite merrily.
Of course, we are all individuals (aside from my recent cloning experiment, but more of that later) and as such will devlop ourown rules for our safety, comfort and pleasure, but surely, if there are 'stipulations' that would/will affect the outcome of a little harmless play-planning, wouldn't it be best for the concerned parties to lay that on the table at the outset?
enough of that rubbish... I've just reminded myself I must go drain the tanks and feed the axolotl-orbit.
Where's me gloves?

ok i was a single fem (not any more) but while i was single i used a buddie/s to tell where i was going and who with giving extimated times i would be away ... also tho we used each other to 'bounce' ideas off as to who i/we were meeting and if they had any reservations as to whether it was a good idea to meet somoneone, and sometimes i have cancelled an arranged meet because my 'buddie' had a bad vibe against the person i was due to meet and i am a great believer to listen to instincs be my own or a good friend.
do not be upset that this person discussed meeting you with their buddie i am sure that they were only thinking of their own safey (allbeit unfounded that you were unsafe to meet) and that meeting you or not would not have gone any further than their buddie
i wasnt beholding to him and neither him to me ... i can only speek from my own experience .. i only used him as a sound board and as a saftey net just incase i needed it. if i am honest i am sure that a lot of the single fems use buddies for this. if i remember rightly i am sure there was some sort of thread a while ago about safty for single fems and some really good advice there that i am sure men use as well .. and this includes using somone to tell where you are and who with
I'm not sure how this got onto a safety issue. It's nothing to do with safety.
I was talking about the fact that the guy I thought was single had to tell his buddy (that I new nothing about)he wanted to meet me and gain her approval.
OMG a sock puppet! :shock:
can there not be a category then for with a fuck buddy who isnt my real partner?? that way you know that although the person ISNT married, does have a person that they look to to a meet?
going back to the original thread, this doesn`t look like proper swinging to me
