After much emailing back and forth we are meeting for breakfast on Sunday morning, and if things work out, we will be going to their place to watch the Stillers play the Colts. And, as a sidepoint, in a reversal of the general order of things, I will NOT be the n00b this time! More on that if you wanna know.
I would feel uncomfortable with a single bringing me a gift. I am married and not trying to date or be "courted" so it would make me feel uncomfortable about his intentions. It would make me feel like he is trying to move in on me with no regard to Spoo or that he felt I owed him something.

Now, we do have a single who is a great friend to Spoo and me and has bought some things (more funny type stuff from our experiences together) and that has been cool because of the long time friendship we've had. But for a new guy, in a just meet situation, while I can understand where you are coming from, it would make me uncomfortable.

Now for this current situation.....if you were sure you would be going to their house to watch the game it would be perfectly acceptable if you wanted to bring your own beer and even a food item for everyone to have during the game. That puts it more as a "good guest" coming over to hang out rather than a move on the wife.

While this may seem a little strange, it is just our little quirk of the lifestyle. We have never been comfortable with gifts from our playmates whether they were singles or couples, with the exception of some that have truly become "friends" totally outside of play.
