Meeting couple for first time

[justaswingin69 1]

Me and the wife have been swinging for about 3 years, but only with one other couple, who we were friends with for 10+ years prior to playing for the first time. Because of that, we were comfortable from day 1 and never had to worry about 1st impressions. Well, we recently met a cool couple online and plan to meet for dinner soon and just let the night lead where it leads. This couple is very experienced and usually plays at keast once per month with several different couples. This is kinda intimidating, since we consider ourselves newbies, but we also see a benefit in playing with an experienced couple. Anyone have any advice on making 1st impressions? We really hope the night ends in some fun, but after being together for 17 years, we feel we have lost all "game" we once had and fear we will blow it lol. On the bright side, this couple is local to us and, after being in a group chat with then for a couple weeks, it seems that if nothing else, we could end up being friends outside the bedroom.

Don’t be intimidated and be yourself. Nothing is a bigger turnoff than being or trying to be something your not. We met many newbies all were nervous, it’s normal. Be honest with your new friends, let them know you only played with friends. The old saying you can only make one first impression is true, others will see right through any phoniness just like you will be the one reading your new friends. If they are the right couple they should be able to make you relaxed. I am reading you are looking for real new friends not just sex. Be careful some just want add notches.

I second cplnluv1's suggestions. Also, don't go into this thinking you have to impress them: you don't. Either the four of you will find commonality and enjoyment with each other, or not. If you do, then possibly (probably?) the four of you will get into sex. If not, you probably won't. And it won't matter: If it doesn't happen, it's not the end of the road for anyone.

 

Just be yourself, and enjoy yourself.

If you argue for your limitations, they become yours.

 

Consider that they might be just as concerned, stepping outside of their normal playgroup.

 

Remember, this is all about having fun.  Sex is the question and Yes is the answer.

 

One time we were at a house party.  I met this couple  and thought this should be fun and were chatting them up. The husband then says to me,"I guess I'm trying to impress you". My reply was,"If you're trying to impress me , neither of us is going to have any fun". His wife laughed so hard, we of course ended up in bed with them.
