Meet & greets ๐Ÿค“

March 29 2016

I've been thinking lately about going to a rhp social meet & greet, but am feeling some trepidation lol I should just pull up my big girl panties and do it! But the thought of walking in by myself fills me with nerves and I would probably chicken out haha. (Actually I have already chickened out once lol) But On the other hand it's not like I'm walking into a gangbang as the solo female lol This is open to males & females: How did you overcome your nerves? Or have you wanted to go but felt the same nervousness? And didn't go. Or went anyway! What do you think might make it easier for you? RR ๐Ÿ’‹

    Someone you know from here and go with them. I hate walking into a room full of strangers Red so I completely understand your dilemma. If you dont know anyone I am sure someone will read your post and offer their support.xxFreya๐Ÿ˜˜

    I was a bundle of nerves the first time I went to a meet n greet. I don't know why I was so worried, I have never met such a more friendly and lovely group of people. Just hold your head high, take a deep breath and smile. You will have a blast and possibly get lucky ๐Ÿ˜œ Summer, it's about time for another Sydney meet n greet (hint). - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have found that the hosts of events are very accommodating in situations like this. I would tell them and I'm sure they would keep a look out for you and introduce you etc. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Only been to two m&g's, most enjoyable evenings. I think it is important to realise it is just a social outing no different to any other where you happen to chat and meet people you didn't know before. Like Freya said I am sure there are many women who feel similar and would be happy to go with someone else.

    The same issues come up, about women especially being nervous about turning up on their own. In this case, a ladies only pre-meet was arranged by another member, for their benefit. I'd suggest connecting with anyone else you know is going, and making some arrangements to meet up beforehand, and then you won't be going alone to the main event.

    Getting in touch with the organiser so you have a point of reference is a good start. They will help you relax and introduce you to others. Once you are there and your nerves start to fade you may even recognise some of the people there as many of the M&G attendees are also forum posters... so it is a great way to meet up with them too. After the first M&G you will start to know people and there will be familiar friendly faces waiting to see you again. If you would like to go with another female let me know LG

    you can meet people face to face - start a convo and take it from there..I think it is much better than emailing back and forth and then going for a one-to-one meetup..Safety in crowd :)

    Quoting 'SYDnobarbie' you can meet people face to face - start a convo and take it from there..I think it is much better than emailing back and forth and then going for a one-to-one meetup..Safety in crowd :) SYDnobarbie was in Melb during the weekend of the M & G here earlier this month and attended which was great - always nice to welcome those from interstate. A few of us were talking about going to the Adelaide M & G in Oct so hopefully there will be many people from all over the country at that event.(Nice meeting you SYDnobarbie)

    They're always good, some - better than others. Everyone leaves their ego at home, so there is nothing to be worried about. Also - I'm guessing most people are on here to live a bit more, so in the spirit of things, throw away those girl panties - don't even think about pulling them up.

    Thanks to everyone who has posted & messaged ๐Ÿ˜Š It's been suggested that I won't need the big girls knickers lol I'm going to try and get to one soon! I have tonsillitis at the moment so probably won't make the Perth one this weekend ๐Ÿ˜ž I will have to wait until the testicle size lumps in my throat disappear lol

    Been to Sydney's Meet & Greet once, but didn't enjoy the experience because, what I saw and experienced on that night were different from what I had imagined and expected the M&G to be. I was not nervous prior to arriving at the scene. I was more excited about seeing what M&G was all about and what I would learn from it. So, I treated the M&G like going to a wedding party where I have only known a few people there. However, for someone who is not used to attending such a social scene, I think it is best that they go with a friend or a partner of some sort. That way, they would both have each other's back if any flirty touching occurred that didn't suit their liking. - Posted from rhpmobile

    It was merely a personal experience that didn't work with my imagination/liking ๐Ÿ˜› But I did learn something from it and that was a plus ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Being an organiser myself, I know how difficult it is to organize an event that caters for more than 10 people, especially going to venues where they require a certain amount of deposit in order to hold the reservation! So, you deserved the treat and glad that you liked it too ๐Ÿ˜Š - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have expressed interest to attend an upcoming meet and greet in Sydney...Was sent a polite but straight to the point email from the organizer that I should open my private gallery for them to have a look at before they advise the location. This is not something I am comfortable with doing - for a social meet and greet. What do my looks have anything to do with a social meet and greet? The whole point of a meet and greet is that people gather they socialize and if they take liking to eachother they can do whatever they agree. Why do people have to be "vetted" for LOOKS for a social meet and greet? House party etc - I kinda understand...social meet and greet - no! I concluded this is not the meet and greet event for me - so I am not longer interested. Do I feel offended - hell no! I rather find this out now than invest my time and energy of getting ready and showing up. But I think this shows what my ongoing issue with Sydney is.....so damn superficial, selective, uptight etc...this city is doomed :( so when is the next meet and greet in Melbourne? :)

    To me that's not a meet and greet? I checked out the listing and as soon as I saw "exclusive" I knew why you were asked to open your pg. Yes it's a social event, but obviously the intention isn't just to be social ๐Ÿ˜‰ it's sad really. What their taste is might not be the taste of the other people attending and therefore the event might be disappointing for others.

    Quoting 'Summer_solstice' That would turn me off the event too, whatever the reason given was. :-( What did you think about the Darling Harbour event last year? Did it give the impression it was selective or superficial (be honest, I won't take offence), and would it be worth a repeat? I think it was excellently organized, the location was amazing (central yet far from the bad hotspots, easy to get to, safe, classy yet not over the top with good "after party options" nearby) the hosts were lovely, and the people who turned up were lovely too (as a I recall most of them were out of SYD which I reckon made it such a great atmosphere) ...the fireworks bonus was less of an attraction.. Well Soft- I naviely thought that if it is listed as a "social meet and greet" then it is a social meet and greet - where people get together to chat and talk and see if there is anything more there - regardless whether one is wearing a tux or jeans that is what "social meet and greet" means to me...it is obviously my bad that after all these years I can still not de-code Sydney lingo properly...I guess there is only one solution....VICTORIA here I come! :) Soon :)
