Sometimes strike up chat with one of a couple but partner less enamoured perhaps. What’s clever and respectful protocol when instigating a new message thread in that situation?

Like taking the chat with one half elsewhere?

You chat to a couple as a couple , not just to one half of them, i.e. good morning to you both .

As a straight man surely you'd only be interested in one half regardless?

Thanks. I try ,but in that scenario you can usually see who’s there.

Well, if you're instigating conversation with a couples profile and asking how to immediately exclude one half in the opening messages, maybe just stick to singles.

I expressed it badly, it’s not my point. I mean you develop a dialogue often with only one half by chance. Someone above kinda gave me answer. ( I dislike ‘exclusive’.).

I sometimes end up talking to couples and become aware that he or she is doing 99% of the messaging. When that's the case, I talk to the person I'm talking to, but I'm always mindful that the other half might or will know what's going on. (Not like I'm trying to hide anything, more - I assume they're still part of the conversation even though they rarely show up in the conversation)

If one half of a couple isn't keen on you it's usually game over.

They're a couple. They're not (generally) gonna take one for the team.

You either suit both or you don't. Never push it.

Accept it and move on.

I n think what Peter and Jane said above covers it really. My intent was to work out how not to be divisive .. all good responses thanks

I'm with Peter & Jane, it bugs me when people message and aim it at one of us, it is usually me messaging back but the Mr does pop in and out.
