The first couple we played with were very much mentors to us. It was helpful - but ultimately, we realized that what we were looking for was different. It is great to have friends to talk face to face with. But mentors don't always translate to playmates.

I would say - go to dinner with them... See if you share interests. Maybe they can help you find an good club, or maybe a nudist getaway... Whatever your thing is... Just remember that you aren't obligated to play just because they picked up the drinks...

Now - they may end up being wonderful playmates that really introduce you to much more than a good club... I'm not one to say no to opportunity.

It was very helpful for us to be brought along by a wonderful, understanding couple.
