Just came back from our first event. It was a fun time. We were also the youngest couple there lol. Maybe three people were close to our age. We didn't get to any playing as we were just there to get the feel of it all and mingle. And that was the problem we encountered

Turns out, we're alot more shy than we thought. One of us actually completely went silent unless spoken too. And we struggled to make or initiate conversation. Didn't have this problem with the few dates with couples we've been on. Is it because were still new to this? Does this change with experience? Any advice from shy swingers out there? How did you handle it all?
