Even if i really fancy the person still takes me hours to even warm up to a point where im doing what i want......
And if you dont fancy the person face to face.. whats the protocol.. how do you say.. thanks but no thanks.....!! its all so hard.. are you allowed to say no if you arranged a meet... how doyou say no witout offending... is there a certain way full swingers have managed it that could help me... cos out of the 4 meets ive had.. only one of the was someting i enjoyed... one i did because i felt i had to.. the second, i sat an avoid him for four hours before finally saying its not going to happen.. the third was awesome been back lots.. and the fourth just was ... well... vanilla and not my type... so how do you cut out the three crap before you get there... and if you dont how do you get rid when your there........ and whats the going time scale on the ones where you click without seemin like a tart!!! im struggling with this side of swing big time.... any help would be greatefully recieved.... Cos i dont want to seem in there eyes a slag.. but on the other hand i want to get laid!!!!!!!
genuine question... please any advice would be great....

From a single fem to a single fem...
What ever you do, you do it in your own time!!!!
I have been here almost 3 yrs now and i still find it hard. Instead of arranging to meet somebody for a nite and finding you are not attracted or not your type, why not try just a coffee in the day time in town?
Everybody does things diffrently. You are in control of yourself and keep it that way, don't ever do anything becasue you feel you have to.
Echo exactly what Lil' miss says
The only time factor is the one you impose. If the person(s) you are meeting are not happy with that then they are the wrong people! biggrin
I think I agree with both comments made so far. You do not have to do anything you don't want to do, or feel comfortable doing. Even though this is a swinging site, and so there is an expection to have sex, it isn't mandatory.
My own view is that it is a place to make friends first, with an option to have sex. If the sex happens that's great, but if it doesn't hopefully you've made some friends.
Also who knows given time these same friends might end up having sex with you. Sometimes people become sexy after you've got to know them better. It all happens at different times.
With some people it can take seconds, with others days, or weeks, or months, or years. There are now rules to this, and nobody's considered a slag because they fancied someone and had sex straight away. Swinging is also about not being judgemental in that narrow minded way that you find on the 'outside'.
Don't force it just enjoy making new friends.
biggrin
It doesn't matter how long it takes you to relax, you came on here to satisfy your own desires/fantasies/curiosities and noone elses, so only go at your own pace and noone elses kiss
I'm very similar, when I first joined a swinging site, it was a very profile based one, with no forums worth visiting. Got the usual flood of replies each day from guys wanting to meet.
Back then I used to reply to everyone, no matter how short or cut n paste the message! :lol2: Within a couple of mails, most of them had either not replied as there was still no meet scheduled, or told me I was a timewaster as there was still no meet scheduled rolleyes
That left me with very few people still in contact. Funny enough, the only ones I considered meeting were the people that didn't talk about swinging all the time, the chatty people that had something else going on in their heads other than sex.
It used to take me ages, weeks, to work up to an actual meet, had an upset stomach and everything in the days leading up to one ........ and even then it would always just be a social meet first! :lol2:
Remember that it's not just your comfort at stake here, it's your safety too :kiss: You can't be too careful - and anyone selfish enough to expect you to be more reckless, ain't worth meeting anyway :kiss:
Furby, there you go you have some great answers from other's already and your own post is exceptionally well thought out anyway.
You are not anybody's plaything, you are captain of your own ship.
Saying no is a very diginified and honest thing to do and should be respected as such.
Saying yes make's wonderful things possible and if they happen and go well for all involved then it can be smiles all round, not because anyone felt they had to but because it was good and right for you and for them.

:thumbup:
This is great advice. Although I think that most are good and honest people, you can't be too careful. At the very least you don't want someone who's abusive ruining your day.

That's what I love about this site. The people on here are genuinely really nice, so no question is ever too silly, and we generally give honest and helpful advice.
Unless of course you create a thread called "eating pussy"

One way of finding out if someone is on the same wave length as you, is to go to a few Munches and Socials. You get to meet a lot of likeminded people, have a great night and if you find someone you like and get to know well enough to feel comfortable around then you can take it from there. No complications, no awkwardness.

Hi Furby
Can't really add anymore to what others have said, other than welcome to the Forum biggrin

Maybe if you have a friend from here that you could go with. That might make it a bit easier.

Furbyhug.... :welcome: - you'll fit in just fine! :thumbup:
As a mere man, may I say that not all of us are looking for a quick wham, bang, thank you ma'am at the earliest opportunity. Even some of us males can be a little reserved when it comes to meeting someone new for the first time. For myself, I'm perfectly happy to meet for coffee with no commitment. Making that first contact is often the most difficult and, to be honest, I am never really sure how to open up a conversation in chat for example.

I guess its because i feel its expected of me to 'perform' and i dont want the person to be disappointed or feel what a waste of a journey... must of been a catholic in a previous life!!.....

In which case i would put this to you......
If a person expects you to perform just because you have decided to meet them.... then they may not the type of person that you want to play with in the first place wink
you are not going to click with everyone you meet, that just happens to be a fact of life, and since swinging is suppose to be fun, why do anything you don't want to do?
Nice people will understand that you are going to be nervous (i think most people are on a first meet), won't be expecting anything to happen, and if it does then that is a bonus.....
don't ever feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to do.......

I think most of the answers apply to the first part of your message. Its nice to get supportive and approving replies.
The second part of your posting seems to show someone who is quite actively delving into the wonderful world of swinging, and by most standards not doing too badly. Experiencing the fab fucks comes with the overheads of the experiencing the failures and its probably about the same for most people who are arranging meets through adverts.
So it comes across as someone who is willing to have a go, but would like to know how to get oneself out of 'trouble' ? Or avoid it in the first place ?
As suggested you may thrive in a club atmosphere, where you can meet people without having to make an arrangement. You may also find yourself recommended. That way you will be become more adept at making the right choices.
I have been to a club twice... i only went to loook around and i didnt mean tobut i did end up in the group room... with 4 couples.... but even that was strange.. very polite.. very 'er.. can i just put it there.. ' and you wouldnt be a dear an suck my dick...'..... i think i like the idea of the place caled chams.. the girls inthe mids room have talked about it lots.. but again its down to walking in on my own...! my friends dont go into or want to do the things i do.... which is why this site is awsesome.. makes me feel normal and not some kind of sex fiend.... cos before this site.. and i knew nothing and thought it was only for the over 50's what you see on telly you know... i would end up gettin mashed.. and waking up countiing head.s.. this is alot safer .. an alot more civilised.! !...
Any clubs in the cambridgeshire area that can be recommened would be great... that wont immdiately think.. fresh meat.. cos im single.. bi and up for a giggle... bad combination !!!
lol biggrin :P rolleyes
You've had good advice furby here. I am on this site because it means I can talk to the people who are honest about their love of sex and haven't really had a lot of intimate encounters out of it. I always suggest that people meet me first in a neutral environment so they, especially the woman, can sum me up and if it only means a chat and nothing more then no matter, it has still been fun. I hesitate to suggest that a fuck buddy would be a good idea in case hundreds of men put themselves forward for the pleasure. Whatever happens, good luck, take care and have fun
Take your time if it doesn't feel right then don't do it.I understand how you feel there's no rush!!!Cham's is a great place,

Well, I can only comment on the 1 social I went to in Derby - but i'm down for next 1 and brought tickets for xmas 1 while at last 1 lol
I'm shy when I don't know folks well or sober! and have no confidence AT ALL - but I felt welcomed at the social, had a laugh, a dance and got to speak to a few of the people i'd spoken to on-line
We were both really scared - but you know what, we felt more comfortable there than a pub crawl in town!
It's strange, you'd think a social meet/ munch for a swinging site would feel like a meat market, we're all there for the same S E X thing after all. But it really didn't - I think because evey1 is there to check each other out, there's no tension like there can be in vanilla pubs - it's ok to look at men/women, flirt etc without the worry of someone taking it 'the wrong' way - and no pressure either.
One thing we did, was arrange to meet some of the folks we'd had chance to chat to online - that helped BIG time.
If your ever at a Derby social, come find me (Holly) and i'll have a dance :-) I do like boogie lol

when arranging to meet someone make it clear before you meet them that it is just a meeting to see how you feel about them and that you will not be jumping into bed with them on the first meet, then no one is expecting anything. Then if you do want to take it further when you meet you can change the rules to suit yourself.
I have been happy to meet with no promise of sex as it works both ways, as it might turn out that i dont find the lady i am meeting would be someone i "click" with. Dont perform just because you feel you should.
i've been doing this for years now and i still find it so hard to say no thanx face to face, i meet as a single women and some men do see you as a easy target cause you havnt got 'anyone to look after you' my advice is always make sure the men you meet know that you only ever meet socially first time tell them even if you get on its only socially, cause if you do the 'if theres a spark we could play' thing your back to square one when they say......well do you fancy it or what lol personally i find it so much easier to tell someone they not for me on msn than to their face and yes some guy do get funny even a bit nasty about it when you turn them donen so theres another reason for telling them on messenger.
ello furbs ......
well here's my 5 peneth for what its worth .... end of the day when all thats done is done .... agreeing to a meet someone is not agreeing to have sex with them. If, like when your dating you get on and fancy it, then go for it if not then dont ..... you are here for your own reasons and should not be pressured into doing something your not comfortable doing ....... so either as suggested just meet for a social drink .... or just be honest and tell whoever that your not going to play in any event , but will meet them to get to know them ..... that way nothing is expected and no-one can say you were anything but honest from the outset ..... we've all been where you are to start with .... best advice i can give you from my own eperience is this ...... be as honest as you can , tell people eactly what you want and expect, then select who seems the best option for you ..... but never do it for someone elses sake , that way you end up feeling like shit and thats not why your here !!!!!
ok .... off me soap box .... good luck hun , have fun xxxxxxxxxx

Hiya Furby
Clubs in Cambridgeshire - I wish - our nearest choices are Great Yarmouth, birmimgham or London as far as I am aware.
As Dlep has already said, munches/socials are a great way to meet people, there aren't many our way but I try to do some (mainly at beer festivals cause then even if noone turns up I still have a bloody good time). You just missed one at Peterborough Beer Festival on Friday, I might well do a Norwich one in October time.
If you are frightened about going to one just find a kind, non-pushy experienced social goer to make you feel at home and introduce you to folks, one like me smile
Hope to catch you soon for a chat.
Regards
Harry Jones
im not sure about every 1 else but i find it hard
to find time to meet as of my job but i do make meets / socilas as often as posss
and i enjoy the advise i get from this site as ive been on here over a year or so now
and made lots of great friends xx
I guess I'm lucky because I love meeting new people and only occasionally "get the jitters". So far I have met quite a fair number of people on this site, mostly at socials, and a few through meets I have set up. Out of those, a lot have resulted in friendship, and I am still in friendly touch with lots of new friends. Only a very small number have progressed into something more than that, so Furby's one out of four seems pretty good going.
