I am sure there is something of a tongue in cheek in @BlackOrchid's reply. Or perhaps not!!! But I think the idea of contacting other subs on here who seem friendly to go with is a really good idea. As a Dom who has not attended any "events" I found the same problem. You are worried sensibly about attending an event alone partly as you may be targeted. I was worried as I might be thought to be there to do the targeting. I mentioned to two sub friends on here that I hoped to attend and they both encouraged me to go and agreed to met me there. There are good people on here and if you have agreed to meet a couple there I am sure you will feel more comfortable. And of course - as others have said - if there are problems just get @BlackOrchid to punch their lights out! Good luck! | ||

I've not read all of the replies, but you needn't worry about going to an event on your own. Quite a few go alone, and once you've been to a few events you will feel a lot more comfortable as you will know some of the other people who go. Living where you do you have lots of fantastic events on your doorstep. Why not try the BBB on Sunday? There is usually a guided tour of the BBB at 12:30pm, and I can recommend the after party as a good first event.
Sure it might seem a little bit daunting at first, but once you have been to your first event you will never have to do it ever again. And there lots of lovely people there too, even the ones who threaten to punch your lights out - actually they are sometimes the best A friend with a flogger/cane/crop/pinwheel/violet wand/set of needles/strap on/etc. is a friend indeed | ||

Dear Little Devil, Whilst I'm a male sub, I can assure you that it was extremely difficult for me to attend my first fetish event, and I must admit that the first couple of events were very nerve racking. However, I can highly recommend an event next Thursday in Stoke (Evolution). It's quite a new event so doesn't have some of the baggage that more established events have. It is organised by a lovely Mistress who I know would ensure that you are made welcome and allow you to explore the scene without any pressure. Please try to make the event, you won't be disappointed. Good Luck | ||

The easy answer is to find someone to go to clubs with. Going to a munch is really handy for it, or just memo/chat to people in your area - I'm generally more than happy for people to come along to clubs with me so there's a friendly face and people to chat to.

Fuck what other people think, you'll meet and make friends. I used to and still attend clubs on my own, if i didn't i wouldn't end up going to much. Your in the perfect area there a Femsub event on soon check the boards. Singlies are encouraged, @Dark_Cherry runs an event again promoted to encourage new, single and eager people. The people who judge you are the people you wont socialise with so don't worry. This is about YOU, what you are interested in and hopefully about finding someone or group that you can enjoy it with. I'm sure if you contact @Dark_Cherry or @Fluffy_sub they will make you feel more at ease with attending something on your own.
We've all been there, just get out and go for it

Its really good that you are wantng to go and explore some clubs, and you will have a ball. Wearing a collar is a brill idea as is making sure you tell the club management/front desk that you are on your own. At Club Swish and many other clubs they will always keep an extra eye or even escort you around to help you feel at home. Enjoy, and have fun. xxx

I dont know if this has already been said as i didnt read all the replies. Why not attend a local munch, get chatting to other single subs and try to go along with them, Its a shame you arent more local to me, misschief and jenevieve we attend events together. |
