Been a few months since we last posted. Went to our first party a few weeks back (and a little too busy to post since). We were reassured by how friendly and welcoming everyone was. It was a great time. I (Mr.) have to admit I was thankful we made a rule of "no play" that first party. I ended up being a little more shy than I thought I would be. Oh, I wasn't too shy to talk with everyone, but I thought I would be regretting we made the rule at the end of the night and instead found I was glad for the decision. The Mrs was her usual self and enjoyed talking with everyone, but even more so with one couple in particular. She's more of a small group person anyway. We've talked a lot since then and have solidified where we want this adventure to go. So, yay, it was a great experience and we look forward to seeing where this will go. If anyone from that group is reading this...Thank you.

Thanks for sharing Hbeezy. Helps our confidence too.

We will keep you posted, thanks for the support GoldCo. It is that understanding we hope to encounter and make our experience(s) all the more fun. And who knows...the Passionate Man may be right, we may one day want to take the field.

We are looking to do this sort of thing ourselves...enjoy each other while folks are doing the same nearby. This thread was good for us to read. Thanks.

Mr. Rivah is the driving force here. Mrs. Rivah is excited by some of the talk and possibilities, and is open to seeing where it leads.

We are pretty new to this. Although we did some crazy things in our younger years, I don't rightly call them swinging.

We've been talking and learning about this for the last 6 years or so. It's been more "off" than "on" but it seems we are both in the right place now.
