Help with slow approach to opening up

So my SO and I recently discussed opening our relationship. Since my SO is quite anxious about the topic we decided that we'd start out by allowing each other kissing other people for starters - then see how we feel and reassess.
Initially I thought this was a good idea to avoid unnecessary pain - after all we might find that we can't even cope with that. However, now I am not sure I would realistically/statistically get in a situation where that actually happens.
The only scenario I can imagine where kissing without other expectations might happen is at a party, however:
- I don't go out frequently anymore.
- I've never been one to hook up at parties much.
- I usually got to know people through conversations, from which things developed. Can't really approach someone outside a party with: "Hey, I'd like to get to know you, but everything other than kissing is not on the table."
- Can't really use dating apps - same problems: "Hey, hooking up sounds awesome, but would you also be fine with just going on a date so we can stick our tongues in each others mouths?"
Was hoping you may have some better ideas!
