Lee and I actually prefer to have met someone in person before giving out personal info like our phone number....
We are always willing to meet new people, both singles and couples. But over the years we have noticed a few things about meeting people from online....
People tend to have very different personalities online than they do in person.
People dont always look like the pic they have sent you.
Theres a good deal of people that are all into talking about stuff online, but never intend to meet you in person (we call those people trolls!)
Lee and I attend a local swing club once a week, plus there's always a variety of other swing parties we attend during each month. When someone online wants to meet us, thats fine....We give them a choice of various parties and/or what day/time we will be out at the club.
I prefer meeting people this way for several reasons... 1.We can accurately determine whether their personality/looks is something that we are attracted to 2. Can determine whether they are really into meeting new potential play partners and aren't just another troll 3. If for whatever reason we aren't attracted to each other, best case senerio we have made a new friend, worst case we are at a public party full of other swingers and can each go our seperate ways and each maybe meet someone better to our liking.
Of course, once we have met someone we like and are totally comfortable with....then we can exchange more personal info like phone numbers
