I met Jen and Ed in a swingers group. The conversation via email with them was easy and we seemed to have a lot in common. I didn't have much bi experience and they wanted him to try it. We really got along well in email and im chat and exchanged photos.
Honestly, he wasn't exactly my type of guy, being a bit hairier than I like and a little heavier than I am usually attracted to but our conversations and his personality (and hers) raised his and their attraction level a couple of notches.
We chatting a lot via email and eventually talked on the phone. Unfortunately, about this time he got transferred and they moved cities. We kept talking but there was no time to meet.
Luck was on our side as my job sent me to their city about a month after they moved. We chatted and set up a time to meet. They didn't want to meet in the lobby or the bar as i think they were uncomfortable with others maybe overhearing what we might be discussing so we decided to meet at the elevators on my floor at a specific time.
I planned to act like I was getting ice. The first ice run I took a few minutes early. I then made ice runs every couple of minutes, walking slowly. I was about to give up, figuring I had gotten stood up again when I decided to make one last trip, now more than 10 minutes after the time. I made it to the ice machine and was walking back when the elevator dinged and they got off, apologizing profusely. The baby sitter was late.
When we got in the room, he took the chair at the desk. She took recliner type chair and I sat on the bed. Conversation flowed easily. We talked about the job change, the new city, etc. I almost flowed too easily. She looked over at the clock eventually and said oh my god, honey the time, the sitter.
