Poor yous.
Yeah I feel for ya. We have a date tonight with another couple (we have seen them before) and I am feeling like crap at the moment, however, we are still going! It's just me that feels shite, the other three in this equation are fine. How unfair would it be on them, if I cried off?
*hugs* to you both.
i hope things work out for you.
I think it's par for the course these days (in fact all days).
Don't get too down about it, just make tonight a special night in some other way.
I agree with the person earlier who commented on them not feeling great but going anyway. IMO, when you arrange to meet someone, there's a fair level of decency involved and other people's expectations and plans are involved too. Better to go along and say "I don't feel great, but lets see if we can make things better, or just get to know each other better anyway"
Surely anybody in swinging must be mindful of the number of timewasters etc, and would go out of their way to avoid ever being perceived as that. (I'm not implying this is the case, just making a general comment).
Anyway... better luck next time, and have one hell of a good night tonight regardless! You can improvise... women do it soooo well ;-)

awww i feel it for you
get all excited then you get let down
nothing worse
big hugz
That was why I said 'just get to know each other better' is there's no physical ability under the circumstances (due to illness).
But surely, it's a decent thing to offer to come, and let the other person say "no, stay home and get better", or even "well, no problem about playing, come over anyway, and we'll just have a drink" etc?
Must be me, but I'd be mortified at letting someone down.

I'm not sure what you're driving at RedHot; all we know is that some attached person who uses this website is ill. It's not as though anyone's going to get identified from a description like that...
If it were me, I'd be rather more offended if the person I was hoping to meet wasn't disappointed that I couldn't make it.
There's a lot of the dreaded lurgy about at the mo'. Commiserations Redbird. I think I know who the real losers are.
Thanks for all your replies. Que será que será is all I can say. We stayed in and got a dvd. There were plenty of intervals for snogging, fiddling, groping and refilling the g&t glasses. A lovely evening actually.
Shit happens but that's life sometimes. Keep trying, it's just a numbers game and if you feel disappointed 99 times out of a hundred, so what! The hundredth reply might change your life forever (if not for an hour or two!!).
Hope you enjoy success xx
