We're sure all of us in the LS have had this happen. Kik messages forget to get sent or conversations kind of just end. 9/10 we have done it simply because of our busy lives. Work, school, Kids, moves, etc.

I'd like to propose everyone try and "reconnect" with at least one other member to pick up where ya left off so to speak. Also, if we are one of those couples for you; feel free to hit us up!
Yes! Totally agree!
Good idea, weve been on both sides of this and have often wondered.
Sometimes it hard to stay connected. Some couples take a break from the lifestyle for personal reasons and we have had some move away.

We generally keep it touch with our favorites though. But it’s a good thing to keep up with couples after the initial contact and keep it at a manageable level so the contact is sincere and not just a numbers game.
Great post and idea...jobs and obstacles have a way of ruining the mood for days on end at times. Most important thing for us is to not judge or let it bother you. You never know what someone is going through.

Challenge accepted...we will reconnect!
We contacted and got contacted by an old fizzle. Mission accomplished!

Whiskey girl said it best too that often people take a break, when we have in the past we try to let people know but sometimes couples fall through the cracks.
Thanks for starting this thread. This happens far too often and we always are left wondering if people just got busy and put swinging on the back burner or if they either lost interest or weren't interested to begin with and are afraid of hurting our feelings (I know we've felt that way sometimes. We HATE to make anyone upset or feel bad even if we're pretty sure we wouldn't have a good connection with them.). It would be nice if there was some really cool emoji or maybe an autoreply of some sort that wasn't mean and would convey that message without making anybody feel bad. :-(

One thing I WOULD add to this awesome "reconnect challenge"...please don't just send a Friend Request. Actually reach out to people and send a REAL message of some kind. We'd even rather get a message/email just saying, "'Sup?" than just get a FR (But, of course, getting something that doesn't seem spammed out to 20 people is even better!-lol). Getting a Friend Request without any other kind of communication is, to us, the equivalent of somebody (especially someone you don't know) DMing you, "Send Nude Pics". LOL
Good suggestion and we agree with the commentary. The irony for us is it includes some of you on this thread ;)
Great thread! We accept this challenge!!
Agree with Evildoers, dislike blind friend requests.
We are guilty! Just life happens it’s so hard at times!

But if you start a convo with a couple and then don’t respond then it can be a little disheartening. Makes you want to rethink the whole open relationship thing and question whether it’s worth it. It’s like if you really like our profile or are you just pic fishing?
Reconnecting can be thrilling and therapeutic.

How many couples do you connect (spent/invest time) with? How frequently do you spend time together? How close do they live to you? Minutes? Hours?

We have found that we like making close friends we spend time with at least once or twice a week. We “reconnect” with couples that live hours/states away once or twice a year. The reunions are so much fun!
I haven't had any connections, yet, but would like to. When joining we were a couple, now its just me, a single wanna be unicorn. So here I am reaching out... out more.... ohhhh someone grab me quick 😊

Let the inbox invasion begin 😀!
Some couples want to chat and get to know each other before meeting, while others don’t want to chat much and just want to meet. If there isn’t compatibility in this regard the convo dies fast.
I try and restart the conversation but at times, if it's not a good match, then that's all it is.

I sure have made some great connections with people that I'm thankful for
Amen
Hi. We are looking for anotger couple for daytime.

Ditto stepped on I'm a man hit me up
I do that. If they haven't responded in about a month, I will message them
Theres always an agenda with this way of life. When it ends its just the nature of the beast. I'd adore to reconnect but it was their choice, its not my place to reach out.
I’d gladly connect with you RealFunGirl
Tried. But people hold grudges I think🤷🏼‍♂️
I lose track of potential new friends if they don't write back. I tend to pay the most attention to our inbox and who is responding. I always feel that potential great connections are lost due to lack of momentum in the conversation.

Great name! Makes me think of Back To The Future, and not the author
