When we arrived at the club on Saturday night we noticed a few couples that looked familiar. We hadn't been to this club in a while but we used to frequent it, so we knew some faces just looked familiar from having seen them there, and others might have looked familiar from having seen them online. One couple in particular seemed familiar and kept looking at us. We had some friends meeting us there, and shortly after they showed up, the male half of this couple came up to us and asked "are you Julie & Pet?" "yes, we are". "Hey, we met you guys about a year ago at....." At that point we remembering looking at their profile on SLS and the email history (they had no face pics) regarding having met at said party last year. I remembered their names form the email exchange and said "Oh, you're D right?" "yeah, and my wife is R, she's over there (points to her)." Ok. Great. He heads back to her and we decide we should be pleasant and go say hi to her. So, we decided to get up and give ourselves a little tour of the club to see what was new and as we walked past them, we stopped and said hello. He was all smiles and she seemed just kinda pissy. No smiles for her, no real pleasantness or nice to see you. We headed off to continue our tour and eventually returned to our seats with our friends. Later in the night, we headed upstairs and they followed. Again he was all pleasant and talking about how much they'd wanted to see us again after they met us before..... and she said...nothing. No smiles, she kinda wondered off at one point. Now granted, I wouldn't say we were interested in the couple right off, but we might have been had there been any sort of personality mesh from her. Basically, it was a situation where I wouldn't have felt I was taking one for the team if Pet had clicked with her. However, it seemed there was no interest from her whatsoever. I'm not even sure she wanted to be there. We did talk a little about the club and how they preferred the other club in the area. They've also been visiting our favorite club a bit (although not when we've been there evidently) and loved it (as do we). However, all of this info came from him. She said almost nothing. Eventually, we headed back downstairs and hit the dancefloor a bit. As we exited the dancefloor, she grabs me and says "Will you please dance with my husband!" (this was not a question, it was more of an exasperated demand to which the only allowable reply was "um ok"). So, I looked at him and he says "not right this second I've got to use the restroom" (or something) and walks off. She heads back to her seat and I head to mine. At this point I'm not feeling great, my stomach is hurting a bit (I just had surgery a few weeks ago and I'm still recovering, this was my first night out). He returns and asks me to dance and I oblige. However, I find that dancing is making me feel worse so I stop and head back to my seat. We left shortly thereafter. The next day we've already got a message from them (him?) about how great it was to see us and they'd like to get together..... Obviously, at this point there's little interest on our part, and it seems that there's no interest on her part. I really can't tell what her issue was. But, I know we are going to end up seeing them again, likely at our home club. I have no idea what my question is

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
