I would smile, because then it would just look like you were flirting. I wouldn't ignore them... I would hate to meet someone Id had a good time with and be totally ignored.

just nod, smile and keep on walking - then they're acknowledged, but you don't have to do any introductions or have any "how do you know each other" conversations to any people with them/you.

Guy was married, he spotted me about the same time I spotted him with wife and kids lol kind of both new and acknowledged each other's presence, but with glances, no direct eye contact. I would never approach any of my guys or compromise or risk breaking that trust. But then that's the way i roll, unlike some people hmm 😯 - Posted from rhpmobile

Happened to me recently, same person twice. First time I was my best friend (male) when the guy spotted me and came over for a brief chat. Could have been awkward much however my bestie knows me well. Second time he was with someone (female) having dinner. I made eye contact, smiled and gave a nod. He returned the nod but his expression was clearly 'oh shit'. I had no intention of approaching him. - Posted from rhpmobile

I would just smile, and in the eyes of the people you were with I could be anyone. If you said hi, I'd do the same. I would feel a bit miffed if I was completely ignored.

definitely just smile and nod and then move on. Nothing wrong with that. I do it all the time with strangers and say good morning to them and hello. No different. I would never initiate a conversation in public if they are with friends or family and I would not want them to do that to me. It just gets awkward and very complicated. I met a gorgeous man (imagine Wayne Carey during his footy years) in a local shopping strip a while back (so no, not in RHP). We exchanged numbers, chatted and had a regular thing going. Then I moved house 2 years ago and we havent seen each other since. The other week, I was shopping in his area and lo and behold, he was there but with his gf. We were both stunned. he was staring at me and lost for a moment. I think he was sweating beads. Lol. I just smiled and nodded and moved on. Saved ourselves the awkward moment. He texted me and asked if I want to see him again. No thanks. I don't do complicated. I wished him good luck.

No one else knows where we met, no need to be paranoid. - Posted from rhpmobile

what difference is between a one night stand from a pub and a person you've met here?? Are we some kind of elitist illuminati or something?? - Posted from rhpmobile

In a pub other people you or they know may/will see you meet. It's in public and you could say to friends that you had a drink with that person if they speak or acknowledge you in public later. You don't need to detail anything else that may/nay not have happened. It's "acceptable" behaviour. Here, any meets are private and this type of site is still "taboo" to many people and not an acceptable thing for them.

No disrespect aimed at the OP.... but...... this is where I often wonder how other people must behave. I like to connect with someone before become,ing intimate with them.... that may take a moment, or it may take a few days. So if I've been friendly with someone before, and after I've been intimate with them, why wouldn't I smile and acknowledge them if I see them in a social setting??? Dependant upon who they are with, if they choose to engage in more than a smile, then that to me is pretty normal behaviour. To me, viewing someone as a hole to leave your DNA in... and leave.... and feel awkward if you see them again...is not. DG

Dont know about you, but when Ive told a couple of friends Im on RHP they act as though Im part of some deviant murderous cult. Thing is, they are also on dating sites........ same thing, different strokes so to speak.

Maybe he reconised the glint in her eye. The same one he saw as she put her strappon on that last time he saw her. Quickened his step and got out of there. ....... Dont usually have that feature during a one night stand from a pub.

either way....such proclivities at the time of indulgence are still private.... So the vehicle in which they've met is the only determining factor of said weirdness.... In any case it's only as weird as those who project it..... So.... If they'd normally acknowledge someone that they met at the pub, then the same behaviour would be still the appropriate for them....shouldn't it?? - Posted from rhpmobile

a secret handshake, salute or sign that is universally recognised by all on RHP. Smiling is just so vanilla.

In S&M world the convention is to not acknowledge the contact and so avoid difficult questions that may arise from third parties. We play it by ear. Most times were happy to say hi, "some friends of ours we met at a party recently" is good enough explanation, if needed.

I realize that it's going to be a difficult situation so both be adults and do the polite nod eye contact and if it's appropriate say a very friendly hello. Being polite never hurt anyone it can make someone's day by a being friendly. - Posted from rhpmobile

I would expect some kind of acknowledgment but not to be approached for a full on conversation. I would feel a bit hurt if I was ignored. ignoring to me is like saying you're my dirty little secret and I don't want anyone to know.

Isn't a smile and a nod the universally accepted action for; I'm not really sure what I should be doing right now?

I think it's the signal for "I acknowledge you in a friendly manner"?

Quoting 'PepperRose' Isn't a smile and a nod the universally accepted action for; I'm not really sure what I should be doing right now? It's a 'Hi' but without any requirement to engage in conversation :)

Great idea, perhaps the old "Mason's Handshake". Lol. May even be some Mason's on here? Cheers Paul.

Make the introductions and invite them/yourself to join you/them for a session. All good friends.
