We met up with a couple this summer. Everyone seemed to like what they saw, and we played together a couple of times. When they left our house a month ago it was all yes, yes, see you soon, and then... nothing. We sent a brief note saying we enjoyed ourselves, and she had left her earrings here, see ya soon....... crickets. PB was a little disheartened because he had really enjoyed himself with the female half, and I had a good enough time with the male half, but we're big kids, and time to move on. I really haven't lost any sleep over it; I have a feeling that we were a little too "active" for their tastes- they were more of a one-couple couple, and PB and I are NOT.

 

So today I get an email from my son's coach. The team party is at the sports entertainment facility owned and operated by the male half of the couple. We have to a) go in and register and pay in advance, and b) drop off and pick up son when the party takes place, at the end of the month.

 

I'm glad and all that we'll have an opportunity to return her earrings, hopefully. Now the etiquette begins- do we email and warn in advance that we'll be dropping by, reassuring that we're not stalkers, and aren't being pushy? Oh well! Life continues to be interesting.

I would email ahead with a warning, and perhaps not mention the lack of response to your emails. Since they have not responded it may be even more awkward running into you there.

If they haven't bothered to contact you in all this time, I don't see the point in giving them a heads-up. After all, you'll be there for totally vanilla and legitimate reasons. Just stick the earring in an envelope and hand it over when you happen to be there.

Yeah, we're not getting too excited about it. Just a shrug and a bit of a giggle. I guess we'll flip a coin about who gets to go in to the office.

 

Now, if this had happened three years ago, when we got started!! We'd be mortified. How we have changed- for the better.

I would drop a line just for the sake of a polite heads-up. Something to the effect that your son will be attending, so you'll be in to register and drop off/pick up. Don't expect an answer. Then send PB in since the male half runs the place.

 

You never know what's going on with other people. But you know that by now. Probably they had some issue on their side.

Update... finally got an email from them today which seems to indicate they want to get together again. (We hadn't gotten around to a heads-up email yet, so this is very serendipitous) I'm going into register kid tomorrow so I'll see what the vibes are like.
