kitkat826 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Last night I went out on a first date with a journalist that I met a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't 100% "into" him during the first encounter, but he seemed very nice so I decided to give it a try. We went to a cool lounge downtown that I had never been to before, and the conversation was going well. He was drinking gin and tonics, and I (still nursing a hangover from the previous night, but not wanting to show it) was just drinking water and coffee. An hour into it, the waitress brings a gin and tonic to him and says that the group across the room sent it and its on them. About five minutes later of us trying to figure out why they did it, one of the girls at the table came over and sat down next to us. She asked us how long we had been dating and we responded that it was our first date. She asked why we thought they sent the drink, and I responded jokingly that I figured they must be a group of swingers. (I am the social type and will talk to anybody about just about anything, so I didn't think it *that* weird that she came over to us). She replied that they could "tell" it was our first date, and sent a drink to "help things a long". Another minute of small chat and then before she goes to leave, she looks me dead in the eye and says "So, do you swing?" I just laughed and didn't even know what to say, she cut in by saying something along the lines of "well its your first date, so you don't even know yet...". Normally I have a comeback for everything, but this was a first and left me completely off guard. So she leaves and we are both flabbergasted and trying not to bust out laughing, because we knew the group was still watching us (there were about eight of them total, four girls and four guys!). When I went to go the bathroom and have to pass them, I smiled at one of the more good looking guys at the table. And they said good bye to us and wished us a good night as they were leaving the place. Is this common place now?? To just get propositioned at a random lounge? Is it possible that we went somewhere known to be a "hang out" and we were just out of the loop? Everyone else seemed to be pretty normally coupled off. Could we have been giving off any "swinging vibes"? Im guessing they don't just approach anybody. To top it all off, they were YOUNG. Meaning, my age or younger (and I'm mid-twenties). I always envisioned swingers as old mid-lifers going through some type of crisis. Could someone in the know bring me to up to speed on this?? LOL cuz if not, I'm just going to assume that I am super sexy and can't be ignored. Thanks.
