Have you ever been tempted to say hello to someone you've recognised when out and about? I'm not talking about people you've met and know, but a relative stranger who you might just recognise from a pic?

Has anyone come up to you out the blue and said they recognised you from here?

It happened to me.. today.. in work.. by some completely random person who wasn't exactly discreet either. Personally we'd never dream of going up to someone uninvited and think it would be a bit of an invasion of privacy, as you don't know who they are with, what they are doing etc. And in work?! Are we over reacting or would you agree this person's a bit of a knobend? We've actually taken our profile down for a while because of this..

a very good friend of mine has a profile on here, i didnt know about it...my first thought? perv. my second? oh yeah.

i've never told the person that i'm on here or that i've seen them on here.

also, i've been told by someone else that one of my neighbours is on here, i always wonder when i get my groceries if they're in the store...

I have been recognised by a couple of people from this site when ive been shopping on a Friday night at my local tesco's as i always like to set my update that im there and if they do spot me come over and say hello i dont have face pics on my open gallery which does make it a bit harder but its fun in the long run.

If they were to come right up to me and shove their hand up my skirt then thats a different matter but a friendly hello doesnt bother me xxx Lois xxx

Not yet, and am not too bothered if I am, as I do not believe I have done anything wrong or immoral etc. etc...

Know it's not as though we're doing anything immoral or wrong, and also could look at it from the point of view of if they are on this site then they are probably looking for a meet too.. but for a guy to come up to me, a woman, in the place where I WORK and say "aren't you Miss Muffet from Fab Swingers, I've seen you're pics".. etc.. that's not on really, is it?

Would have no problem at all if someone genuinely came up to us and said a discreet hello, afterall, we're all here for the same thing..

Anyone else have any other Good or Bad experiences like this?

discretion never hurt anyone muffet , were all here for the same thing but i wouldnt want my work mates knowing . a lot of people arent so liberated as the folks on here! think you were right to be annoyed. he could have discreetly said something or even mailed you on here

I think what he did was completely out of order and needless,it shows a massive lack of respect and discretion

we found out that my mrs secrets god parents were on here. at first was funny and we chatted to them didnt tell them who we were. eventually told them were fine bout it there fine bout it and we get on quite well lol. we have seen a few people we sort of no but havent said anything, then theres people that live round the corner from us that we have.

At the end of the day if you dnt want people to no who you are dont put face pics up.

But I would say he was a nob end if he didnt say a discreet hello.

That's the thing, we don't have face pics for general viewing, just our friends gallery (which we've now ed out in case), so we are a bit confused. And as sexysomcouple said, if he is on this site, surely the best thing to do would have been to send an email saying, hi, seen you in work, would you like to meet up and say hi sometime?

I have had meets with a couple of people I recognise from the area, and I recognise a few people from profile pics etc.

On another site I have seen my blokes ex-girl's brother, friends of my parents and even people who come into my work.

My man also recognises a fair few, men especially. And in my previous job I had one couple keep coming and saying hello etc, we never met in the swinging sense, just recognised me from 1 swap of face pics.

Also I arranged a meet with a work colleague's son, but never got off the ground when I realised who it was.

Doesnt overly bother me.......yet!

" .........Are we over reacting or would you agree this person's a bit of a knobend? ........."

Knob-end. You should never approach someone you've met through swinging/ dogging/ whatever in another context. You can simply never tell what is happening around them in terms of friends/ family etc that you can't see.

Just because a woman is standing alone at a bus stop, for example, doesn't mean her Mum isn't looking in the shop window immediately behind her (etc).

However I have met a couple on here in the course of my second occupation, I didn't say anything in public to them. But a couple of exchaned messages on here led to a very horny meet! They did admit that they wondered if I recognised them as I was giving them more than a second glance when we bumped into each other.

hello little miss muffet. i do agree that the best apporoach was to mail you on this saying I think i know you from work etc etc but he may have felt this was the best approach as he could have mailed you then you block him and he would never know for sure etc but in all fairness if it wasnt you he was taking one hell of a risk haha

i just wanted to let you know i think i know who you are on about? is he from chester?

I to the other day spotted someone i new on the site, infact i really used to fancy her in high school. I messaged her saying I know who she is but dont worry i will keep hush hush as in my mind thats "the swingers code" the poof profile gone

Thankfully not, but recently we exchanged messages with a local'ish couple then chat briefly on MSN ... think it was the following afternoon we were in the local Asda and we'd swear it was them ... Of course did not consider approaching them (even if we were CERTAIN it was them) but oh how we had a giggle driving home

Yes someone that lives in my area is on here, ive no idea what they look like but they see me often walking through or driving through the estate, was a shock i can tell you, but as they are married and she doesnt know he is here, he isnt going to tell on me

Actually... is it only a problem when its a person whom you would not want to play with ... aren't there occasional threads on here about "we should all wear badges" or "wonder if they are swingers"

At the end of the day if they are on here as genuine swinger/s, not half of a couple looking to "play away" or a run-of-the-mill psychopath then are they likely to embarrass you in public or either just nod in acknowledgement or simply engage in polite banter - in the same way you may chat to a person you see but never chat to in yr local pub but bump into in a neutral venue such as yr local Supermarket ??

i would be the same

i have seen a few people i know from chams, i live very close to the place as do a lot of other that go so bumping into people from there is quite easy for me, it that happens i will read their body language, if they walk by so will i, if they smile and give me a friendly nod i'll smile back

Your wrong when you call him a knobend.Hes a complete arse hole for doing that to you. Has he no feelings. what a tosser. a cheap laugh i suppose he thought plus i bet he spoke loudly aswell. Why not keep your face piccys private untill you have seen the persons face first that you are talking to. Again, what a wanker he is. sorry for swearing but some people need to get a heart and a brain at times.

Not from this site but from another. Got approached in my kids school playground by one of the dad's once who had seen my face pic. Was not impressed by his indiscretion. Denied any knowledge of what he was on about as the playground is not the place to discuss these things. I left the site and that is the reason I no longer have pics on any profiles.

I had a guy in the chat room once tell me that he thought he say me one day, and to be fair it was me, he told me where he saw me and even have a full description of my little girl including the school of the uniform she was wearing, in the open chat room

I thought that was a bit odd as i think most normal people would realise you dont want your child described and everyone told what school they go to

Why should she tell "someone she knows" that her husband is on this site?!!

I have to agree with the majority, he's a complete knobhead for attempting to embarrass you in public. I recognised a female colleague from work and contacted her via fab. We just laugh about it now in person but discretion always comes first, even though we are both single and nothing to hide.

Has happened to us twice. Once a couple we had played with were at the same car boot sale as us and another time a barman from our local club was in Tescos when Mrs PnJ was doing the “big” shop. On both occasions smiles were exchanged and it ended there. Anyone commenting in a public place in ear shot of others is an arse hole.

He is Chester-ish I think, yes.

As for it being in front of colleagues, it was definitely in ear shot. I dont think it was said deliberately LOUD but more a case of no consideration.

As he is known as being a big mouth I had no choice but to deny it and say I didnt know what he was talking about..

Whether or not it is someone you would want to play with shouldn't make a difference, it comes down to courtesy.

I say "shouldn't".. might make a teeny difference

that is how it should be, as at the end of the day respect should rank highest especially out in the vanilla world ... if peeps do anything else then they dont deserve the attention - and if its a married guy (or woman) then yes ultimately he deserves his comeuppance

what was trying to imply there, but maybe not very well was ... whilst you may recognise them - or vice-a-versa - then if its done (acknowledge you have same lifestyle) discreetly and respectfully then you are more likely to appreciate & like them - when if they are gobby gits you are more likely to plead ignorance and / or shame them in to answering "sorry, but you use a sex dating site and you are implying that we are on there? How very dare you"

I don't mind chatting to people we've met if we have bumped into them out of swinging,this has happened a couple of times but then we know them and we're hardly going to be chatting about the last party we went to in the middle of Asdas

Its being approached in your workplace by some idiot that *thinks* he recognises you from a swinging site and has to ask that would piss me off big time
