While I often use SLS and Fet to meet potential play partners, I prefer local Meet & Greets, as well as clubs, private parties etc. to meet people in person. I’m fortunate to live in an area where there are several. As a SF, there’s a safety factor involved with meeting people in a public place, with friends around.
So the other evening I go to an established M&G… one I tend to frequent monthly, with many current LS friends. I understand that approaching a total stranger to introduce yourself may be intimidating, especially if they’re talking within a group. So I make it a point to break away from the group a few times… do a few laps alone, stand at the bar alone etc. I figure that way if someone wants to introduce themselves, it’s less intimidating.
When I got home that evening, I had three messages on SLS from three different guys saying they “saw me there.” Never said a word there. But was ok messaging me after the fact. I’m sorry, but that’s just creepy. It’s called a “Meet & Greet.” I actually posted about it on the Event FB group, and it started a discussion about social anxiety etc. So, ok, maybe some folks have a hard time approaching a total stranger. So why attend if you’re not planning on doing either Meet nor Greet?
Anyway, one of the guys did ask why I left so early (I was there almost 3 hours) and he saw me walk to my car alone. So that scared me enough that I will now always have an escort back to my car. That’s on me for letting my guard down.
My point is, if you take the time to go to an event where the objective is to meet people in person, perhaps you should try to, oh I dunno, meet people in person.
