The first evening was survivable and the second one was the real thing
Looking for somebody who will still be interested after an average first meeting
The first evening was fine. Not bad, not remarkable, mildly awkward in a way that neither of us could have prevented, and I went home slightly deflated and slightly relieved. Almost everybody I have spoken to since says the same about theirs and almost nobody says it in a post.
The second, six weeks later, was completely different. Nothing had changed except that we had already met, so nobody was performing, and I was not spending half the evening watching myself from the outside. That was when I understood what people mean when they talk about this at all.
Thirty five, the south east, married eight years, a year into being open. That man moved to another city in the spring, which is why I am here.
My husband was at the first meeting and not the second. He hears about all of it afterwards and asks better questions than I expect him to. So what I want is somebody who knows a first meeting is not the test. I will probably be quieter than I am, and you may well leave thinking it did not quite land. Come back once and see.
Not looking for anyone who needs the first evening to be extraordinary. Not looking for anyone who will decide about me in an hour. Not looking to do the first evening more than once or twice a year, because they are exhausting.
Before the first drink Replying goes through the connected platform, so nothing about you is shared until you decide to share it. Take contact slowly and keep identifying details back until trust is earned. Meet somewhere public the first time, with your own way home from it, and if you are a couple then go together. Tell someone outside it where you are going. Never send money to someone you have not met. And if a post or a reply reads wrong, flag it rather than talking yourself out of the feeling.
