Dawn and I were both looking forward to going our 1st social this Friday in Newcastle.
The dilema is our sitter has let us down, Dawn has said you should go, I like the idea as at least one of us could meet some great people and possible future meets, i have mailed a single fem from the area to see if she fancies it !! just social of course !!
no answer yet, what would others do if i dont get a reply or indeed in the same situation?  |

i would go to the next social and be with my partner
nothing puritanical or preachy - i just like to hang on his coat tails and share these 'firsts'
there will always be more socials and if not you could organise one your self!
but if you do go have a smashing time xxxx |

"i agree, wait and go with your partner to the next one
if you go on your own you are likely to run the risk of being shuned as a single guy telling a tale of having a partener etc"
yes ty that was one of my fears.  |

As it's a first, I'd definitely wait and go with my partner. There will be other socials but you don't get a second chance to make a first impression - and the first impression you WANT to give is that you're with your partner, not flying solo accompanied by another woman.
Once you're known and established, boundaries and rules can be adjusted to suit both of you. |

thank you again very sound advise, but we are not new (3 yrs now) just to the social side  |

Maybe she should go then, and you stay home and babysit!
I have a feeling that she will find it easier to get a "partner" to attend with than you have found it. |

i'd be gutted if my partner took me up on that offer.
i'd say it out of consideration and love because i'd sense your disappointment, but i'd hope you would consider it and think that a greater disappointment would be to go without me. |

Personally i would go wait until a time when you can both go. Its one thing a partner saying its ok for you to go and regale the tale afterwards but you run the risk of causing problems, cos we all say one thing but when it comes to it, then its a different matter. I wouldnt like my guy to go to a social without me, id be very very upset

this is a social, why would you assume single guys get shunned at them. doesnt that actually negate the point of calling it a social  |

i would say try reading what they said then say sorry as you seem to only have read half of it.
