New and nervous about meeting couple

Recommended Posts

Ok. So we are very new to this LS, only a couple of months. After chatting, texting, emailing etc. we are to meet another couple tomorrow night. We have meet in public before and had drinks and hit it off. We both have a nervous excitement about the whole experience. Hubby and I even had a long chat about it yesterday to make sure we are on the same page.

 

The thing is for me that I'm not sure the other male is. Call me paranoid but I'm getting mixed signals. We have been texting/sexting non-stop since before our meet but in the last couple of days have heard VERY little from him?

 

We are to meet at their home tomorrow night. Even last night he said we should just take our time, no rush. I'm nervous that he will not be interested in me I guess. I have put on weight (trying to lose it is not that easy) and he is a very attractive man who takes good care of himself. I guess I just don't want to get hurt. I do plan on going and being myself.

 

Anyway that's my rant. Any advice for us is more than welcome!

Thanks. I know he's been busy at work. Just a bundle of nerves I guess. Will find out soon enough. Nobody is in a rush. Just having a drink and chat.

You didn't say how long they have been in the LS...they could just be nervous just like you two are. Hopefully, you have all discussed limits and how far you want to go so that everyone at least have an idea as to what is expected...(?). Other than that, deep breath and don't worry. Just let things happen and have a good time (even if nothing happens). No pressure, just enjoy yourselves (and let us know how things went).

For what reassurance it may be, I'll add to the chorus and just say to try not to overthink things, on the texting, and even when you get there. It's hard I know, and anxiety and swinging go hand in hand for most. The trick is to control the anxiety enough to where it's positive anxiety that is based on anticipation, and not negative anxiety that is dragging you down. Easier said than done, and a fine line to walk I know from experience.

 

What may help is to just understand and accept the anxiety is likely going to ratchet up when you get to their house. Try to resist the urge to be reading between the lines on body language, etc. You're anxious, and not likely to be at your rational best so may see things that aren't really there at all. What is rational though is to remember 1) you've met before, 2) it went well, 3) well enough they invited you to their house. So, obviously something positive is happening, right? Even outside of swinging, the first few minutes with someone you don't know well is usually awkward, and being at someone's house for the first time can feel awkward, so just recognize that going into it and give it time for the edge to wear off a bit and soon you will remember why it is you are there to start with :)

You sound as nervous as a virgin. I don't mean any disrespect. You are the kind of woman I would LOVE to give you your first experience in front of your husband. You have met him before. He knows what you look like. If he wasn't interested you would not have been invited to his house. I'm guessing he is very horny to fuck you. They may have had many experiences with other couples and are not as excited as you are about the first time. You haven't mentioned his wife/girlfriend.

 

It's awesome that you are planning on being yourself. That is the woman he got horny for. Relax and enjoy yourself. He probably sees a much more beautiful, sexy woman than you do when you look in the mirror.

Haha I think I was less nervous losing my virginity. All the same I am comfortable/ confident with myself and my sexuality. He is also married and his wife is very interested in my hubby:)

 

I plan and going there tonight with an open mind to relax and enjoy their company with no expctions.

I think some nervousness is normal. It's different for everyone. For us, when we first meet others, we always try to meet in a social environment first, bar, restaurant, or something, and we make it very clear that we do not play on first meeting. Meeting outside of the lifestyle scene takes a lot of pressure off. If the chemistry isn't there, everyone can just go home.

Fear of being rejected is with us all. But it is not about your attractiveness, it's about the match, the spark, the fit. So even if the "worst" happens, it is not you, not him, just the way it turns out. The important thing is to continue the adventure with your loving husband.

UPDATE!!! I'm out!

So we went and met with the couple last night. Today I want to crawl under a rock. I never felt that he had a strong attraction to me but maybe a little. Rejection is not even the word. Something was telling me that he was only doing this for his wife and was I ever right.

They were more than hospitable but I got the feeling from the minute I walked in that I wasn't wanted there. Such a bad feeling, never felt like that in my life! Both the men were completly all over the other wife and here I was like a fool. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy that hubby and the other wife hit it off but I don't think I can put myself out there again.

911junkies, I'm sorry about your bad experience but everyone goes through bad experiences while swinging...unfortunately, you just happened to have yours early on. It's just a matter of using it as a learning experience--maybe in this case, learning to trust your inner voice--and going back out there. I think the best thing to focus on right now is that it doesn't matter if you are someone else's cup of tea or not...you are your husband's cup of tea with some scones and cookies...and that's what's most important. You get to go home with a person who knows all the good and not-so-good parts of you and still loves and desires you.

It doesn't feel good when things don't work out, especially when the first few steps seem to go well but then you just don't get to the finish line. What I always try to keep in mind is just like how most don't seem like a good match for us from our standpoint, then it stands to reason that from their standpoint, just as many will think the same about us. From no interest at all, like to hang out but not interested sexually, some sexual interest but not evenly across all four, and so on. Finding a good match with great chemistry is a very difficult thing to do!

 

People that we think aren't a good match for us and so we decline, it is absolutely nothing personal. We always thank them for their interest in us, and wish them good luck and all the best in the Lifestyle, and we sincerely mean that. Along with persistence and work, it takes some luck to find good playmates, but when you do, then it makes all the bad things to have been worth it. So, like the others have said, just keep at it and you will find what you seek eventually.

This reminds me of a couple that we had met. Things went very well at that first meeting and we planned a second 'date'. They were both attractive, we talked and enjoyed their company, and we all seemed to hit it off great...and months went by without us getting together. Then, we ran across them and set up another dinner (only) date to reconnect and see why none of us set up that second date. Once again, things went great. Wonderful conversation, mutual attraction, and we ended up planning on getting back together again 'real soon'...and it didn't happen. Something wasn't quite right and we weren't sure what it was. We WANTED it to be okay but in the end while we couldn't place our finger on what wasn't right, we knew that something wasn't clicking. It's too bad, we REALLY liked and enjoyed the time we spent with them, but that little voice said 'don't do it'. Sometimes you just have to listen to that little voice (they must have heard it too since they didn't make an effort as well). There are always more couples, just keep looking. When it isn't right, it really isn't right but we also have learned that when it is right, it REALLY is right.

 

It's a learning experience, don't take it personally.

      Do you already have experience with swinging? Or is this a new idea for you? If you are experienced share your experience. If you aren't tell us what experiences you'd like to have.

      Mods, if you can find a better forum for this thread, please do move it. I'm not sure where it fits.
       
      I had a brain wave. I've been reading posts by newcomers to the lifestyle and I remember us being there ourselves. It's overwhelming, scary and you feel like a fish out of water. You don't know what's appropriate, what's not, and you have no idea what you should expect. There's such a huge learning curve, and I know it's kind of part of the experience, but still... I have to wonder how many of those monster mistakes could be avoided if couples had some guidance. Do we really need to make the painful mistakes to learn? Or could we still learn without the damage?
       
      Why is there not something like a newbie boot camp? A one-week resort take-over dedicated to getting newbies started out right in the lifestyle? Workshops on such things as club or house party etiquette, how to host a house party, STD protection, "speed dating" for swingers (learning to communicate with your partner), how to read and write a great profile, communication workshops, getting-over-jealousy exercises, body image discussion groups, and maybe a discussion group where sensitive questions can be addressed anonymously (such as about penis size, having a medical condition, or a physical disability). And of course, lots of opportunity to socialize with other newbs and veterans alike.
       
      We learned a lot from a more experienced couple, but we actually had our first full-swap experience with another "virgin" couple like ourselves. And it worked out great! Looking back, though, it's easy to see how many ways it could've gone wrong. Now that we consider ourselves more along the "veteran" end of the spectrum, we know it's important to "give back", and not avoid new couples. We've all been there, and we sure appreciated the guidance.
       
      So what does everyone think? Does that sound like it would be a good idea, or would it be too intimidating?
    • By JustAskJulie
      There's another thread asking experienced swingers the reasons why they may not want to swing with newbies, the thoughts there led me to this question.
       
      As a newbie looking for your first experience, who are you looking for? Would you rather play with another first timer? Someone with a little experience? Or a couple who is very experienced? And why would you prefer one over the other?
    • By AdamInEve
      We have read a few posts on this site about getting comfortable with others by easing into things slowly. Perhaps by playing naked games such as strip poker or truth or dare. We think this would be a good way for us as newbies to get comfortable with being naked around others in a sexually charged atmosphere. Perhaps the games could progress over a series of dates from just being naked to touching (erotic massage) to soft swap and hopefully all the way up to full swap. This way it might alleviate a good portion of the jealousy and nervousness that might accompany a first time straight on full swap.
       
      Our question is this. It seems to us this would be a good way to start, but just how many seasoned swingers would actually be interested in answering an ad from a newbie couple that stated this is how they wanted to proceed? Would the more experienced swingers just pass this type of profile by?
       
      Also, how would relatively new swingers, with just a few experiences under their belts respond (if at all) to a profile like this.

      We're just curious, what is your swinging preference for meeting people for the first time? What is your reason for your preference?
       
      We used to love dinner/drinks, but after 5 cancellations in a row (single males & couples) we've now decided to only meet at M&G's and clubs (on or off premises). It's just a matter of Jan is tired of getting all dressed up & then having the plans cancelled (one time was so bad, we got an email 5 minutes before we were to leave!!! and boy did they miss out, Jan looked hot!)
