That's what I just messaged a GF that is going with us to a social tonight. It's her first time going and I can't help but remember how nervous I was going the first time, or even how nervous I still get sometimes. I can only imagine what she must feel like. She knows she will know 3 people at the party. Myself (of course), and she will meet Pet at dinner before we go. And, she will know the SM that introduced her to the idea (well, sort of).

Evidently, she has another female friend who is also in the lifestyle and has told her about it somewhat. This female friend introduced her to a SM as a potential FWB. The SM happens to also be a friend of mine (met via the lifestyle). When my gf saw that he had only 2 friends in common with her (and one was the girl that introduced them) she started putting 2 and 2 together. First off, he asked me how I knew this SF. We went to HS together and I haven't seen her in 10 years. Then he told her about my book (without saying it was me), but when she saw the author she put 2 and 2 together and it finally equaled 4. At that point I messaged her asking if she'd read my book yet (as a way of letting her know that I knew and all was cool) and we've been chatting ever since.

Fast forward a few weeks and now she's ready to visit a social, however rather than make our SM feel awkward (you'd have to know the SM in question), she asked if she could go with us and if we'd introduce her around. So, sure, why not. It's not every day you get to take a SF to a party!

I'm really impressed by how excited she is about going. I hope it lives up to her expectations. We've all told her that this will be a smaller party, good for getting her feet wet... but not to expect much.

Fingers crossed for a fun night for all. Oh, and this is what I'm wearing.

fyi: Got the corset on Amazon for $16
