I've only recognised one person. I haven't contacted them and neither will I, even though they are in a couple and fit what we're looking for.
It wouldn't feel right for me, sadly, so I will continue to admire from afar and smile inwardly when our paths cross in real life!! |

Is gonna happen at some point. So what? Personally I'm not interested in meeting anyone local or who might know me so it would be an immediate block. I like my privacy too much. |

It's a weird one isn't it? Obviously I have or wouldn't have posed the question. Been toying with the idea of saying hi but think it might be too strange. Probably best to leave it and try and pull her in real life. Hahaha. At least I know she's a deviant like me. |

What if the person innocently messaged and didnt know it was you until you'd started exchanging messages. Would that make a difference? |

Oooh how exciting. Let's hope it works out!! God knows when you'll be free to meet though. Still it's always better with a lot of anticipation. |

This happened to us. We were messaging a couple and getting on fine so we sent a face pic then didn't hear from them for about a week.
When we did it turned out they knew us from work and explained that they had been debating how to proceed as we were just the type of couple they were looking. However they decided that the work aspect would just make it too uncomfortable so they didn't want to pursue anything.
They also explained that they decided ignorer to prevent any embarrassment at work they would not tell us who they were and we still don't know to this day. Not for want of speculation though.
It was probably for the best in the end but still curious several years later. |

I recognised someone a while back I did drop her a line (tactfully) after viewing her profile. She panicked and asked me not tell anyone then she disappeared |

It's better to let others do their own thing here, so you can just block them as a good option, without making contact.
A few people join anyway and don't stay for years, as some of us do, so they may be blissfully ignorant of any embarrassment they may have felt.
It's not like most social media where you search and connect with all of the people you've known from your wider life. |

Mrs B’s ex boss (female) is on here with her new man. They winked us not long after joining but we didn’t respond (actually we very rarely respond to winks). Not sure if the wink meant “hello hello we recognise you lol” or was more your normal garden variety of wink! |

Just the other day I saw someone on here that I met from a dating app a couple of years ago. She said she wasnt sure who I was but she blocked me anyway. |

Seen a few people I know from other places on t’internet and it’s no surprise that they would be on here. I don’t make a big thing about it.
If I saw a colleague or someone a bit closer to home I’d just block for both of our sakes  |

Once ever I recognised somebody on here and I just hit immediate block & tried to forget about it. It was the best option for me cos I know it would only have caused unnecessary grief for me as said person has a very loose mouth #the town gossiper  |

No, but I don't see any issue, we're all here for the same thing. Depending on the relationship with that person I'd probably skip and move on, but might say hello if appropriate xx |

Has happened a few times. Twice with guy's I went to school with, I blocked one as he's dating a friend! The other one recently told me he knows who I am but not to panic as he respects our privacy. Obviously I had to know who it was and turns out we are Facebook friends too. Been chatting quite a bit so we are gonna meet when we can.
The other time was with a couple we'd been chatting to. They sent their pic and my mouth dropped open as they were actually friends who we go out with on occasion! We debated not responding but I decided it was unfair us knowing about them so we replied with a pic saying only fair they know who they had been talking to but due to shared friends etc we didn't think it would be a good idea to take the friendship to another level. This was about 5 years ago and we are good friends today. When we go out alone its actually a lot of fun, flirty undercurrents and also able to talk about what we like. If it was down to the male halves we'd have all fucked long ago but us ladies want to put our friendship first. Mrs  |

Well my mum and stepdad are on here! Safe to say I won’t be contacting. That’s why I do t have a face pic as a profile!
Also I recognise a couple of profiles from real but they’re too close for comfort too! |

I’ve been recognised and have recognised people
I think it’s inevitable to a degree, but it’s not like only ONE of you is up to something that requires discretion is it, so I’m fine about it as it’s even Steven whenever you do.
Choice there after is to politely carry on looking for someone else, or chat and see if things are in place for something to happen
Same rule for people that you don’t know as for the people you do know ... be respectful, be polite, and be mature |

Tan new one girl from her works when we received that couples face pic. We kind of ended there.
We’ve also been contacted by a single 19 year old male who was the son of a friend. He obviously didn’t know who we were so we politely declined. Far too many complications there.
We did have one person convinced he knew us but he never told us who he was, so maybe our secret is out now, hopefully he’s the discreet type |

I (female) know the female and I would feel very awkward. She's a lovely lady and she's great fun. Just my type really BUT the circumstances of how I know her is not the right setting for this kind of interaction. I wouldn't want to embarrass her |

When I joined up one of the first messages I got was from a family friend, turns out not only is he in a relationship with 3 kids, he's secretly heavily bi sexual. Pretty sure he didn't recognise me as he would have never messaged me if he did. |

A couple of times.
Once we got messaged by a man I'd worked with a few years earlier. Of course about 2wks after he messaged we bumped into him and his presumably unaware wife whilst shopping. We felt so sorry for her. Deleted and blocked!
Another time we got messaged by our Son's best friend. He had even lived with us as a teenager for a while when he was having problems at home and got kicked out. Again we deleted and blocked but a year or so later he messaged again on a new account. |

Yes. With my ex on our couples account. Messaging a guy that sounded good. Asked for face pics and it was a guy I worked with.
He’s a good guy so I can clean and told him it was me. I’d rather have done that than just blocked him after seeing face pics.
We chatted for a few mins and then told him to enjoy himself. We didn’t meet him or anything |

I haven't recognised anyone but if I did I'd just block and forget I have seen them. I have had a few messages claiming they know me and of course never said how or who they were. I didn't believe them anyhow but it's just creepy when people do that. The block button comes in handy then. |

About 5 years ago we attended a house party 25 miles from home that comprised of 14 people: four other couples, a selected single man, a gorgeous TV and two single middle aged women....... one of whom lives directly across the road from us, and still does.
We just agreed not to directly interact or play with her during this party and we've never mentioned it since. |

I tend to make a note of the person and pass them by, someone I worked with discovered I was on here and didn’t offer the same courtesy and kept messaging me on here and social media so changed his profiles after being deleted and blocked, told old work colleagues about it who then contacted me about it, he then came into my place of work as well and had the cheek to ask if we were still friends.
Despite reporting him on here nothings been done |

This happened to me, I was messaging a couple and they asked for a face pic which I sent and the reply was “I was hoping f it was you”. I didn’t have a clue who it was though and my heart was racing a bit but they revealed themselves and I knew the lady and said hi to her most days but didn’t really know her to speak to. She said he had wanted me for ages and used to talk about me to her husband which was good but they didn’t know I was on here. |

I’ve seen loads I know on here, always made it known if they send face pics.
Never had an issue.
Got my friend a profile set up and we’ve clubbed together...
Then bumped into one of our boss’ and his wife in a club

"Very frustrating, it still nags at us. We considered many people we knew and compared them to the body photos and ages etc etc but were never confident we identified the right people.
Hey Ho "
Think it’s a bit off they didn’t say who they were. You had shown openness and respect and they’re hiding. It might have started a friendship if nothing else.
I’ve recognised a few. At an awards do I met an old colleague who I thought at the time was coming on to me. I fancied her but decided against reciprocating as we have mutual friends. Then a week or so later I saw her on Fab. And she’s fit as anything....one that got away.
I would never approach someone I knew though. I think that’s overstepping and breaching their privacy. The idea of using Fab is for mutual privacy I think. Having said that, I had the same situation as Hey Ho and I shared my details after they sent a pic. We had a good chat but that was it.
Swinging problems eh?! |

I've never actually come across anyone I know from 'outside of Fab', well, not yet anyway. But. I do often see a couple doing their weekly shop whose popular pics often grace the upper echelons of the Most Fab'd page and have noticed others, mainly other men, given them cursory glances or even full on knowing smirks. |

Yes it happens.
I know of a uncle and nephew who saw each other in a club and found they were on the same swinging site (not this one)
A new fem joined a site and i was chatting to her about local searches. I explained to her how to do it. She then went quiet for 10 mins or so then said “OMG my nextdoor neighbour is on here!” Then “it says she’s Bisexual I thought she was always looking at my boobs i know why now”

A while ago, I came across the profile of one of my cousins on here.
Problem is that he lives with his girlfriend and they have a young child. And while gf and I aren't particularly close, we are friendly. Enough for me to know that they don't have an open relationship.
I decided not to say anything - mostly because I don't want to risk outing myself, honestly, and I'm not interested in being involved with other people's drama - but it's made interacting with her awkward to say the least. |
