I’m just looking for people opinions or advice on the possibility of attending maybe a social event or something more. First time considering anything like this so would be a little nervous even though I’m not that type of a person, so it would be great if I could feedback or advice

Don't overthink it

Don't over drink it

Relax and enjoy

It's a normal night out with normal people in a pub

It can be very enjoyable

It can be a pain in the arse but they're usually very enjoyable

I found everyone to be very friendly. Even if you start off a little shy you might find yourself opening up to them

Just as you probably understand it can be very daunting going by yourself especially for the first time when you know no one

Went to my first social on Saturday a daytime social and I'd totally recommend trying to get to one.

Any nerves if any were completely gone as soon as I arrived there was made feel totally welcome and at ease

Only been to one myself. I shit a brick the whole way there. But honestly I regretted not doing it sooner. Had a great laugh, chatted to awesome people, got fed and watered. Approach it like you would any other social. I was pretty early, but when I went in I just asked was it ok if I sat in at the table, and just chatted normal chat really. And I wasn't the only noob either which surprised me. Great personalities at them. Raging I'm broke that haven't been able to attend more. But if you can you should go for it. Worse case scenario you can just leave. I haven't sucked up to a play event like envy yet but will when I can. Tickets are hard to come by given the amount of single men on here.

Glad you made the jump...at the end of the day it's like any other night out except you don't have to watch your mouth as much. Still be respectful etc but amazing the open conversations that can be had with complete strangers. I still recall my first social, I went alone knowing no one but I didn't drink, just showed my face and made some connections. Got added to a chat group and cultivated friendships that have lasted years. The best way to get your foot in the door and make it known you aren't a twat! Lol.

Go for an hour. Stay if you like it. That's what I do. Takes the pressure off.

Biggest thing is don't get d*unk and make a tool of yourself. The people there are sound and don't be shy about chatting with them and you'll be Grand.

Hi ti

Nerves can sometimes get the better of us all at times

But don’t worry about at all, we’ve always had great time at any type of socials we’ve attended.

Totally agree with the previous posts just relax enjoy yourself, definitely don’t drink and if you are don’t drink to much.

Enjoy whichever social you decide to attend

Coffee socials are always a great way to see if socials are for you or not

These guys organise very pleasant, totally relaxed, socials through their SE Walking group. They have a really nice and welcoming group of fab friends and if you are up for a stroll first there might even be cake.

Socials are basically networking events. It's expected go around introducing yourself to strangers, having a chat, and sharing your fab names.

They're important because despite what the internet might lead you to believe. Most people don't want to fuck strangers. Even us swingers mostly fuck acquaintances and friends.

People need to know you a bit before they decide to be along and naked with you.

If you get a chance join in a chat group before hand you can break the ice that way

Don't be afraid to find someone that can give you 5 mins of their time to say hello when you get there
