"If you had a social meet arranged and then had an offer of a meet to play would you then cancel or postpone the social ? " It's annoying when you have made plans for a social - only to find it is cancelled - and the hosts post a verification for that night. Having said that - it is very hard (for a bloke) to turn down a guaranteed meeting... | |||

"Though being devils advocate for a moment, people get slated for no shows, there is an excuse thread on here at the moment where people are being slated for lying but now someone is being slated for cancelling and being honest... There does seem to be an element of dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Likewise, when people say it says a lot about his priorities, this is a swinging site, people are here looking for sex. Single men can go months without a meet. And while it';s shit for the OP being on the receiving end of the cancellation you can to a degree understand the guys logic." snap | |||

"I think if I was a couple and it was a single guy, knowing how hard it can be for singles to get meets, I would wish him well and arrange another time and look for a play meet ourselves" That was my thinking to start with ! But would rather have been told" I have a shag lined up and can't meet" as opposed to trying to push our meet back till later to accomadate the shag. You can't have your cake and eat it !!!! | |||

"You can't have your cake and eat it !!!! " Why can't you? Depends on does he want to move it from 7pm to 8:30 or 7pm to midnight really. You have met him, is he worth the hassle if not then block and move on | |||

"There was not a time to move it to, it was more of some time later I'll let you know whe I have finished. " See I'd hate that it would make me feel second best and why the he'll would you wait around for him to finish? As I said speaks volumes about priorities and attitude | |||

"If you had a social meet arranged and then had an offer of a meet to play would you then cancel or postpone the social ? " i personally wouldnt no because i wouldnt meet someone for a shag, i always meet for a drink first then play if we get on so both meets would potentially be for a social first i have had it done to me tho, the guy i was meeting text me to tell me he was no longer coming to pick me up, i was sat at the train station waiting for him, as he was now meeting someone else im sure it happens a lot its just hes been the only one honest enough to be truthful and no say hes dogs died lol | |||

"How many coffee meets are needed to know if you'll get on well?" i was thinking that If i met someone and i felt we got on and they then asked me to meet then again for just another coffee id feel like they was messing me about I wouldnt arrange to meet anyone for two socials, if someone dont like me enough to play with me after one its time to move on | |||

"His honesty is commendable but I'd struggle with being asked to wait until he'd finished to me it's dismissive and slightly disrespectful. " lots of people have more than one meets in a day there was a thread not so long back asking what the most meets a day people have had and loads said they had had 2 one woman said she had met 6 guys in a day if the OP was talking about a single female doing the same i bet peoples replys would be different, most would be saying its her choice who she meets and everyone has the rights to change their mind etc | |||

I personally would find it disrespectful if someone arranged to.meet me at a certain time then said something else had come up could I hang on until some.unspecified time when he'd finished. Just me but self respect stops me from waiting around just in case. | |||

"I Kristy went and met him alone for a coffe and really liked him. We had arranged to meet again this afternoon for another coffe see how we got on again and make arrangements for him to join me and my man for a overnight meet. I then got a message to say it would have to be a lot later as he had a threesome to go to first on the way !!! I feel a bit pissed of as I even got a new dress !!! Also we had not mentioned but were looking for a regular playmate and thought he may fit the bill. But not sure now " I don't think it's that big a problem to be honest - it's not like he was a no show or a last minute cancellation, he simply asked to meet you for a coffee later than arranged and was honest about why (assuming he's not suggesting he rolls up for coffee at 2am!). As you said, he doesn't know that you're checking him out as a possible regular and I'm sure he has no idea you bought a new dress especially for the second coffee - perhaps from his pov he thinks he isn't on a promise for anything more than another social so asking to change the time so that he can enjoy the opportunity of a threesome is something another swinger would 'get'. I'd say don't get wound up about it, he and you are free agents looking for fun like most others here. The potential positive in it is that he's an active swinger who is grown up enough to be honest and if you do end organising a meet for sex, at least you know he's keen to attend - something worthwhile in that knowledge, if you choose to see it in that light | |||

"His honesty is commendable but I'd struggle with being asked to wait until he'd finished to me it's dismissive and slightly disrespectful. " I totally agree. I always prefer honesty but would not be pleased to here a guy would want to cancel or postpone meeting me (even just a social) because he got a better offer. I know a shag is a shag but I'm afraid my ego would be bruised. | |||

"I've been in exactly this situation myself very recently! I'd been asked if I fancied meeting for a coffee the next day and as I'd met the person previously (social) and enjoyed their company - of course said yes - explaining that it would be 'mid afternoon' but that the exact time wouldn't be arranged til the next day due to uncertainty as to when I'd be finishing work. The following day a friend I've met several times invited me round that afternoon. As I'd already made provisional plans I contacted the person I'd arranged coffee with to see if 6pm, rather than mid afternoon, was ok. I was honest about the reason for the change and told that this would be fine. Upon leaving my friend and logging back on site I found a message saying "sorry, I can't make this evening". I replied with a "no problem, lets reschedule this week". With every intention of doing just that. I can understand the OP's point of _iew - but feel it does beg the question - did she make it clear that she'd gone to so much trouble and was upset at being 'bumped back' a few hours - or was the impression given, as in my scenario, that there was no problem? I guess we all have constraints on our time - with work, travel, family and children - and free time can sometimes be at a premium and hard to synchronise with others. Is a social more important than a play meet and vice versa? Should there be flexibility given and offered to those you wish to meet up with or should it be a case of once arranged there's no deviation? I guess we're all different in our circumstances, but very similar in our desire to interact in an honest, upfront and accommodating manner. Communication I feel is key - if _iews, opinions and messages are not clear - then there's huge scope for misunderstanding, bad feeling and a negative perception of those you contact. I don't think it matters whether we're talking about a single guy, woman or couple. Each can be as guilty of miscommunication as the other. Hopefully the OP - and the guy in question - will have the opportunity to sort this out should they choose. Does seem to me to be an unfortunate situation that possibly both could have dealt with better to prevent something that could easily have been avoided. " Get that Tongue warmed up .... You owe me !!!! | |||

Some threads on here tell single guys that this isn't insta-shag yet others are saying that it's ok to put someone off for s guaranteed shag...no wonder they're confused . As I said before honesty is the way forward and if you don't like what you're reading or hearing walk away | |||

"Maybe he thought it wasn't going anywhere. One non-play meet first is fair enough I suppose but two?" Exactly my thoughts. If I was him I would think I was on a hiding to nothing. And as for buying a new dress? For a coffee? Bit extreme. Some of the replies on here just confirm what a lot of people say about couples though, too up themselves and think that they are more important than everyone else. If he had said he wanted to arrive a bit later because he had to drop his child off somewhere would you still have had your nose put out of joint? Doubt it. You are just pissed off because he is shagging someone else. Signs of possessiveness already and you haven't even shagged him yet. We don't 'do' social meets, haven't the time, we just get on with it. So my _iew is going to be very different to a lot of other couples on here I know | |||

Which I readily admit will differ from a lot of other opinions. That's what happens in forums, everyone says it as THEY see it. When you put up a post, not everybody will agree with your point of _iew. Not even couples. I do spread my legs for the person who turns up for the meet, that's why I'm here | |||

""You are just pissed off because he is shagging someone else. Signs of possessiveness already and you haven't even shagged him yet" I think you will find the about quote is not an opinion but a statement about my character !!!" Opinion - a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. Statement - an official account of facts, _iews, or plans. It was an opinion, never said I was right, chill out. | |||

"arrogance (usually uncountable; plural arrogances) The act or habit of arrogating, or making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; lordliness; haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption. Closely related to the act of arrogating." I read that twice and still don't know what it means. | |||

" Maybe you as a swinger consider social meets to be part of the site others dont... this is SUPPOSED to be a sex site where people meet up for sex.. if folk want to meet for coffee/drinks first thats up to them HOWEVER how many coffee meets does it take to decide whether you want to play or not???? The bloke got offered a genuine meet for sex, did not just not turn up he messaged telling the truth. I dont buy the part where the OP says she went out a bought a new dress especially for the coffee meet ...and then there was the part where she says they were looking for a regular FB now its not going to be him ....MAYBE he didnt want a regular FB ....MAYBE he is just on the site for a bit of lighthearted sexual fun. He told the truth, on this site you are dammed if you do and dammed if you dont. | |||

" if you decide to try to use it as a sex site then thats entirely up to you." Some use it as a fifty shades book club, swinging badge collectors society, or the club school-disco set, but guess that's up to them too Since swinging involves sex rather than 'fraternal fellowship and cupcakes' I suppose taking the sex-site line isn't a bad idea or too far off the line Wolf | |||

"Why would it be so unbelievable to buy a new dress for a social ? Surely I was trying to sell myself to him as much as he would have been to me. I am not of the opinion that just cause I am a fem and he his a single male then he would just fuck me with no effort to attract him on my part. We had not mentioned a regular thing to him. I do take on board all the advice and opinions given and appreciate the time people have taken to write them. I think peoples opinions are allways different depending on thier level or experience and thier expectations from this site. Allthought we have been on here a while our experience levels are low and as such are still nervous hence two meets. As I said I don't blame him for choosing fun over a social but that still didnt stop me feeling annoyed. Probably wrongly !! " Never think that what you feel is wrong. If it's a genuine, honest feeling them it's valid and you have every right to feel it. Peoples opinions will always differ you have acknowledged that but it doesn't mean that your feelings are wrong | |||
