So glad someone else doesn't get it

What's the options okay and something else ?

Would a wink back with message option button help

I've had a few winks n no idea how to respond... technophobe
When you receive a wink, you have the option to send a wink back.
The person who sent you the wink initially, will not be able to wink you again until/unless you send one back.
You have the option to PM anyway so adding something else wouldn't really serve a benefit.

We too have always ignored winks as we feel if that's the sum total effort in trying to get our attention then you need to try a whole lot harder. Having said that I don't think we have ever had a wink from a couple on here so I think most feel the same way. I really do feel a nice message that we can reply to is the way forward. with reference to our earlier post re sending messages out. Not sent any yet even if we have found some very sexy folks we don't feel they would want to meet us so we will keep looking lol

How do you know until you ask ?
Good point Stew, However I have read the profile and took my time to take in everything that they have put and also looked at the pictures and when you put all that together you either think a message would be well received or not as the case maybe. Our time is far better spent chasing people we have a reasonable chance of catching and not chasing pipe dreams don't you think. I am a great believer that we all have a level and chasing after a very good looking young woman who is clearly way above our level these days is a waste of time and potentially quite embarrassing too.

After reading this I kinda feel bad. I've ignored the winks I've recieved but not being ignorant with it, I just like others don't know what to respond to a wink...bit like the poke button on Facebook. Just don't get them and I'd rather have a message saying 'hi there' then be sent a wink.
So I apologise to all those who winked and I didn't respond I don't mean to offend xx

Yes but I find the majority of people see winks as a lazy arse way of trying to contact someone.
Fact is, if I had interest in yourselves for example, I'd PM you not send a wink... but of course others do feel that sending a wink is the same as a simple hello = *waves* etc. Same as a poke on FB which is similarly what I based it on..
I wouldn't apologise though.
We did have a thread discussing winks... I'll have a look. x

Same here once I've got more confident I'll send messages. I just didn't want people to think I was ignorant that's all x

Well from reading this thread
It would appear so many of us have same concerns ...one of biggest is knock back n rejection.

But I would agree that's it's different strokes for different folks

In relation to profiles I agree to a point with Bolton that you can gauge by profile although
Some of us are pretty rubbish at writing then and probably have missed loads out

I don't have a problem with anyone say hi and asking
Now that ironic because I at moment I don't know if I could

I am definately lacking in confidence when it comes to saying what I want, how do I get it?
Where did you get your confidence from?

I must admit I have the same issue! I'm confident ish in RL but wouldn't have a clue where to start asking what I would like!
Put me in a room full of people and I can talk to anyone, but when it comes to saying what I would like from a potential swap, think I would be tongue tied and rather shy! Xxxx

@Nigel&Julie an excellent thread that has really got everyone talking.
We are in the same predicament I think, having been to the VA twice and seeing everyone all having fun. It would almost seem as if they already have their playmates lined up and that we are just gate crashers!

I think the next time we go we will need to make it our mission to be a little more forward I think. I can chat til the cows come home but asking anything more I depth is difficult. I'm not sure if it's the fear of rejection or just me being down right embarrassed.

I have my reasons for being apprehensive in that I have scarring that I'm insecure about. I can get naked and go in the hot tub but the thought of someone starring at my bits just has me all in a panic!

But I'm sure with each and every time we go the confidence will grow and it will become easier xx

I'm not too sure if that follows, though. One of the reasons I enjoy swinging is because, sometimes, I get to have sex with my friends.
