A Meet has stopped me in my tracks....

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I went on a meet the other week and TBH was a long way to go for me almost 2 hour in traffic so hoped it would be worth it - I was thinking of calling it off before hand.

I found the little town and the pub. When I saw the woman I had to pinch myself - she genuinely was beautiful but sooo much more than that; Very intelligent, warm and funny.

Now I'm fairly recently out of a long relationship and as such found my social circle has moved on so I've been a little lonely from friends and have some massive things going on in my life at the moment (both parents with Big C scares amongst other things, Split up in LTR, Money Job etc).

Don't worry I'll cut to the chase we had an absolutely mind blowing night not all sexual and have been left with such mixed feelings I'm confused and will open it to the floor -

I think my slightly vulnerable position means that someone showing me a little warmth and affection has shown me who or what I'm missing in my life. Now I'm not falling in love with her but more it opened a window into a future I could have with someone very similar if that makes sense? And the whole thing's left me slightly uneasy as opposed to great night, quick veri and move on......

Sorry to bore you to death for reading this long winded pile of shit but had to write it down before it went.

I get this, you are still not over your ex and perhaps she behaved in a way your ex once did, you are at a low ebb given the comments in the second paragraph (sorry to hear about your parents, hope all will be okay). This will pass eventually but maybe you need to consider taking a break (you could hide your profile) for a while until things are sorted and the feelings for your ex are 'gone'

I really liked your post in its style and content, OP - it shows you are not hardened and that you are approaching life with an open attitude.

I am wondering whether your best bet is to just take things one day at a time and look upon your meet as "it is what it is" - genuine, exciting, warm and very memorable. Who knows there may be more meets with the lady in question - or maybe there will be other meets similarly enjoyable.

Either way, sometimes people get caught up in "analysis to paralysis" - I am saying enjoy what you had and see what else life has to offer you.

Best of luck to you x

From my female point of _iew, I think it came along at the right time for you, and if she made you feel good for the night and you both enjoyed it then thats great

Anything else in the future is a bonus. Have you suggested meeting her again? maybe offer to go for dinner or something first? that way its more of a 'date'?

Its quite possible to find 'love' on here, but I think you are vulnerable at the moment and maybe needed someone like her to make you feel good and help you realise that there is life after love?

I guess the point I'm making is, dont look into your feelings too deep....you may regret that in the future. Live for the moment, enjoy hers (or others) company. If you've been in a long term relationship, then maybe enjoy being single for a while and find 'you' its easy to lose yourself in a relationship and forget who you were before, or the person you have become since.

I hope everything with your parents turns out ok.

....and I agree with what someone else said which is that I like the fact your OP proves you are not hardened in swinging, and you are an intelligent, articulate person with real feelings xxx

I think its easy to get caught in the moment of a great meet, and after a break up you can be a little too open.

have a holiday, treat your parents well, arrange another meet.

Yes, this is a sex/swinging site, but unlike some on here I think you can have feelings too! After all that's what separates us from the animals x lol

As someone who also came out of a long term relationship (albeit that mine ended a year ago), I think your post of sweet and thought provoking.

It's such a shame that you are now being chastised for enjoying the meet, beyond what some people on the site deem acceptable. It's very much a holier than thou attitude, which is really not fair. Everyone is entitled to use this site as they wish to, so long as they are honest with themselves and others.

I have used the site as a dating site before, and probably will again. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't be here and the same goes for you.

Good for you that you had such an enjoyable experience.

How many people mis-interpreted what the OP was saying in his original post?

Hes not saying he had feelings for her per say hes saying whilst he enjoys swinging he experienced something with her that reminded him of companionship and how he realises he misses it (this is what im getting any way so correct me if im wrong OP).

Its understandable you feel this way especially when you connect with someone, i see so many threads on here about members being confused about their feelings for others and i admire your honesty but at least you've recognised it for what it is and not feelings for her. Mrs x

OP, I think there are a couple of things that surprised you:

1. You were reluctant to go and had planned for it to be a mundane meet

2. It wasn't, you enjoyed it and it gave you what you needed at the time, even though you hadn't realised that it was what you needed.

Enjoy the memory as much as the occasion and give yourself permission to enjoy yourself again.

How lovely, be careful it's a swingers site... At the end of the day.... You are in a vulnerable place right now.

I am one half of a couple I love him unconditionally, if I was a singleton I would perhaps find myself on here? Although probably not, I admire single people on here, I think it greatly depends on what type of person you are... I get attached easily, everyone is different and I think I would struggle on here as a singleton, my opinion, think about wether a swinging site is the right place for you right now xxx

Hi mate.

Your post reminds me a lot of what I experienced a year ago, in the sense that it involved being shown a glimpse of a different world/way of living.

I got chatting to someone socially (not swinging) and felt an almighty rush of attraction and connection to that woman. I'd completely forgotten what that was like - it hadn't happened for years and I assumed that it wasn't capable of it anymore (I'm in my forties and took a medication that kills libido and emotions for some years).

I was floored by it and wasn't simultaneously filled with joy and terror by the power of this long-forgotten emotion. Sadly, nothing came of it and I still struggle with that to this day. However, I'm grateful that I'm still capable of experiencing that very real, very human feeling. I hope you feel that too.

Seems to me you met someone who ticked more than just a physical attraction box. No shame in that. I know with this woman I met, the overriding feeling wasn't one of lust, it was one of "I could talk to you forever".

I'll freely admit I'm one of life's sentimental, emotional gits though!

the thing is, it happens to many people that come out of LTR.

you very quickly miss the closeness and com/passion that was afforded within it ,especially if it was her that finished it or a mutual ending, and when someone else shows affection it can bring back all the good things you had before, without any of the bad, and it lulls you into false feelings of love, as that is a learned response from what you have known for however long.

this is the reason many people mistake sex for love.

personally i would question whether swinging is for you, as meets like this would no doubt arouse the same feelings within.

maybe you would be better actually dating again rather than looking for no strings, as you seem to be a very feeling and loving bloke.

either way, good luck to you, and hope you find hat you are looking for, wherever you look.

you're lucky, not all Fab experiences are this good. You'll know upfront about the physical attraction,and generally the calibre of the sex with a fab person is pretty high. It's rare though that you get a mental connection let alone an emotional one.

You may meet many people who are attractive, good in bed, nice enough...but this lady inspired you to feel and think of something more. Maybe you should run with that. You don't have to dive in, but why not be open to it? I know lots of people who found their partner when the timing wasn't perfect, when they weren't looking for a relationship. All that's going on with you personally, well say what! Life's complicated! Just be careful with you, and with her
