Social gathering

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I'm going to a fab social gathering on the weekend and feeling very nervous about it. To all those who've been to one or more in the past, what was your first experience of one? If you were nervous, did it take long for those nerves to fade? Were people inviting to a newbie? I'd love to hear all your experiences

The people were all friendly at all the socials I've been to. It just occurred to me that I've been to loads of forum socials. Good times.

Yes, you won't have any problems having people chatting to you. I was nervous. I remember opening the door and walking straight to the bar for a drink lol. Then as I was waiting, a guy came over who had recognised me from cam. I'll suggest you get a drink and just don't overthink, I'm sure you'll have fun. Let us know how it goes. x

My first experience was a forum one at Xtasia about five years ago now! Yeah, it was great fun. I was a bit nervous at first but I think quite a few were. I counted to ten and then just started talking to people - everyone was really welcoming and lovely. If you are particularly nervous, speak to some one also attending and see if you can meet beforehand.

I hope you have a great time!

As a single woman you will be made very welcome. As with any social group degrees of inclusion vary from person to person but I have no doubt that you will be fine

I have someone to go with. I've suggested a drink somewhere first, as I've only spoken to him via messaging. I'll feel a bit better walking in there, if I have a face to face bonding drink with my escort first... Well, that's the hope! Haha. I

think counting is a good idea. I may steal that! I'm really pleased you had such a great time. Thank you lovely

I went to my first organised social last month.

I have to be honest, I was very nervous about going in.

I was at a pub in Chester.

I needn't have been so worried, I was made to feel welcome, included in chat and conversation, and made one or two friends that I am still chatting with and looking to meet at a convenient time for both.

Enjoy your night, relax and you will have fun mingling with some new friends at the pub

I was very nervous but once a few people said hi it was fine ... everyone was smiley and welcoming. A man came straight up to H, shook his hand and started chatting which I thought was great - I really admired his confidence. Hope you have a great time!

Nothing but a positive and funny experience.

I was ill and really didn't feel like going, thought I'd nip in for an hour then go home.

Got there at half twelve in the afternoon. Nearly missed the half one in the morning train home.

I didn't know a soul and spent half an hour wandering around a park looking for groups who looked like they might be on Fab.

Eventually spotted by the group who called out to me, but I didn't hear them shouting. The sent the tiniest person there to run after me. I'm 6 feet tall. Must have looked hysterical.....

Made some awesome friends that day!!!!

I hope you have as much fun as I did.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

I love socials! Excellent medium for meeting like minded people, forging friendships and eyeing up potential playmates

My first social was the Newport one last year in October. Went alone, was a bit nervous, but everyone was friendly. I met and chat a host of lovely people who are now my fab friends and some who i've subsequently played with.

In short, socials rock.

Maybe try and find someone to meet before you go in? It's hard walking into a place you've possible never been before, wandering around trying to find the group you're looking for.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of volunteers wanting to help, I would if I could.

Got there at half twelve in the afternoon. Nearly missed the half one in the morning train home.

I didn't know a soul and spent half an hour wandering around a park looking for groups who looked like they might be on Fab.

Eventually spotted by the group who called out to me, but I didn't hear them shouting. The sent the tiniest person there to run after me. I'm 6 feet tall. Must have looked hysterical.....

Made some awesome friends that day!!!!

I hope you have as much fun as I did.

I have three group socials in the diary over the next few months.

They're addictive.....

A little like the forums eh?

I bet you get excited on the build up to them

Two of them I'm a little apprehensive. One I know a few people who are going so not too bad, the other I don't know a soul.

I'll put my grown up pants on and get on with it.

I need to take a leaf out of your book and do the same.... Except mine will be a dress

Have you sorted out your wardrobe, or are you a 4 complete changes before I leave the house kinda girl?

I already know what I'm wearing. Nothing slinky. Just an above the knee swing dress, with a basque effect top half and a pair of knee high boots. I like to be prepared

All of a sudden I want to be at this social.......

Sounds like a good choice.

Haha it sounds a lot sexier than it really is!

I'll have to not drink too much. Or I'll be like a toddler walking in her mums heels, in those bloody boots

Definitely don't drink before you get there.

Hahaha. I might have a couple. At least it will make for good entertainment, if i do go flying arse over tit!

If you do, just make sure someone films it. That's £250 on you've been framed and it's paid for you going to the social.

I've been chatting to one, on and off for a while. He's a good guy and we've built up an online friendship. He's the one who invited me. I'm going for a drink with him beforehand, so we can get to know each other face to face, before the social, as we've yet to meet in person. I'm hopeful that will help a lot

I’ve been to three Manchester socials and each time I go it’s gets better. I feel like I know people now and the nerves lessen each time.

When I went to the first social I was so nervous I actually felt ill. I barely moved and only spoke when spoken to! I am a nervous sort and not confident in large groups so I knew it would be a challenge for me.

The more you chat the better it is. People have been so friendly. There are still people that have been at the same socials that I haven’t managed to chat with. Maybe next time.

Relax and enjoy! I hope you have a great time

think counting is a good idea. I may steal that! I'm really pleased you had such a great time. Thank you lovely

Going for pre-drinks is a great idea, if you float it in the forum for the social you will find a few will tag along. Once you've had a chat, steadied your nerves, and got some people to walk in with, the rest will be a breeze... plus, as an attractive single female you wont be short of people willing to talk to you.

Just think of it as a night out with a big bunch of friends, and enjoy!

Gloucester

We have been to the Gloucester social loads of times , and they are a very enjoyable night .

Pretty much every one we’ve been to has led to some fun , usually later on that night in a hotel or outdoors .

To be fair , we wouldn’t bother if that wasn’t the case , and if people attend socials with no intention of meeting potential playmates , I have to wonder why they bother .

"We have been to the Gloucester social loads of times , and they are a very enjoyable night .

Pretty much every one we’ve been to has led to some fun , usually later on that night in a hotel or outdoors .

To be fair , we wouldn’t bother if that wasn’t the case , and if people attend socials with no intention of meeting potential playmates , I have to wonder why they bother ."

I can understand that. I'm glad to hear you both had a good time.... And a great time afterwards

I’ve been to one and it was absolutely great. The best part of it is the people you get on with (assuming at least one will be there) head straight over to greet you so there’s not really any awkwardness which for someone like me with anxiety is the most refreshing thing. I don’t usually put myself in those kinds of situations like big socials but I did it and it was not daunting and I will be going to more. Honestly it’s just great.

My first one was weird. A few years ago now it was like being thrown together with people who I'd never socialise with, they were loads older than me. I had gone with a couple of other people and although we did try and chat to others there were a lot of people who didn't bother.

I'm always a little nervous though, probably because I over think things then get stressed. The last one I went to I almost didn't go but I'm glad I did, every one was lovely.

I've done four socials, and I still get nervous. But having done a personality test yesterday, it turns out I'm kinda special.

"Most are welcoming and friendly, although sometimes ‘too friendly’

I’m not too friendly! Is hugging everyone too friendly??
