Attending a LS party isn't that much different from attending a vanilla cocktail party, with the exception that sexual activity is a Possibility. (Of course, someone playing in the back room at a vanilla cocktail party isn't unheard of either. LOL). Attend with the intention of having a pleasant evening together out of the house, meeting new people, and having interesting conversations. If more happens, that's a bonus. If that's all that happens, you've still had a pleasant evening, haven't you?

It goes back to hard limits vs soft limits. A hard limit is something that you agree ahead of time that you will not deviate from, no matter how appealing it may seem in that moment. No matter how many drinks or how enticing the situation, you agree to stick to your rule and talk about it AFTERWARDS to see if you want to change it going forward. An example would be same room only.
A soft limit would be something that you feel strongly about but it is not etched in stone. An example might be door open or door closed. Good luck & have fun! |

All of WannaTry's stuff is good -- I would only maybe modify something ever so slightly. They say "don't overlook stuff" -- true, but look for a balance. Don't try to micro-manage things, either. Be flexible (within your limits and preferences). Be prepared to deviate from your game plan if you are presented with a situation that you both find appealing.

My advise would be to plan on going just to meet people, talk, and take in what all a club has to offer; not to play. That should help settle down the nerves and not feel like you are letting anyone down by not having something happen.
Beyond that, things which are important to you should be talked about with potentials. If being uncut is a deal breaker, then yes, ask before offering to play. If things are just not, "working," you could probably just excuse yourself for a drink and call it "dead." :) Take things as slow as needed so everyone is comfy. This is suppose to be fun. Hope you have a blast and meet lots of great people! |
