I have been swinging as a single for a long time and have made several deep and meaningful relationships with some of the couples and single women I've met.

One couple celebrates my familys birthdays with me and I with them. They have accompanied me to family funerals too.

I think it is inevitable that if you intend to have more than a "Hit and Run" play time that you will develop a deeper attraction to some of your playmates.

And I think it's just like when two people have a relationship. Sometimes there's lots of baggage that comes with the person. So it is with a couple.

I think that when you become friends, not just a monentary pleasure, then you have to be a real friend - sharing and giving advice and asking for advice and laughing together, and crying together. That's what friends do for one another.
