This is our first blog entry. It is an article that I wrote for a friendly blog at Gentle Nibbles Blog

So you’ve chatted with them online, exchanged photos and maybe had a few phone conversations. It has taken weeks or maybe months to arrange dinner but the night has finally arrived. (If you just read that last sentence and thought to yourself, “weeks? months? Hell, I can arrange a dinner date in 10 minutes!” Please continue reading but send this author your phone number, we should do lunch.

Once you are all seated pay special attention to how your two hotties treat the wait staff. I think it goes without saying that a couple that has agreed to meet you will probably (hopefully?) bend over backwards to impress you. But there is always that one guy or girl, who no matter how hard the wait staff tries, will never be happy. If the waiter can’t please them at the dinner table, you might have the same trouble in bed.

The Asshole

No, not the one you “reserve for special playmates”. I’m talking about the jerk that thinks he is cool because he can use condescending language and treat people as less than human. If you find yourself in this situation you should reconsider sexy time. Not because he is a jerk but for the simple reason that you don’t want to touch any part of what the wait staff did to his food back in the kitchen.

Check, Please!

If you’ve been around swingers long enough you know that we go on and on about communication. I’ve always found it interesting that after getting to know a couple we’ll learn exactly where the Mr. and Mrs. will let us put our happy parts and vice-versa in graphic detail. “You can cum on her tits, but not her face, in her vagina with a condom, not in her mouth…” You get the idea.

But when it comes to the question, “Who pays the bill?” Many couples look more confused than a Sybian in a nun’s dormitory. I blame this phenomenon mostly on men and cut the ladies some slack in this area. Women have to deal with hair, makeup, shoes and I haven’t even begun to state the emotional issues that arise, so guys please, this is one part of the night that you can handle. Some may see this view as sexist but c’mon! I can’t fix her hair. I can’t pick out what she will wear. Reach into my pocket and pull out my wallet? This is within my realm of ability.

If a couple invites you to dinner and they offer to pay, let ‘em! You can always pick up the tab next time. And if they turn out to be a dud with no chemistry, well at least you got a free meal for your trouble.

If you invite a couple to dinner and you wanna go Greek, well that’s another story. Butt, if you wanna go Dutch then you should probably say so in your invite. “Let’s share the bill and some good conversation and see what the night brings.”

Swinging should be about sharing and meeting a couple for dinner is no different. You’ll have lots of opportunities to share glances, conversations and good times. Watch the reactions of your guests, your partner and be attentive of your own behavior. And just be sure the waitress doesn’t catch you sliding your hands over each other under the table. Unless of course, she is cute, interested and available.
