I think there are 2 different dynamics going on here. Pegleg, Not very uncommon is the situation that people are afraid that they will be recognized by people who are close to them. I don't fully understand that but it really happens. In cities which are fairly large one finds this mind set as well as small towns. There are ministers, doctors, nurses, police, lawyers(for the life of me I can't figure that one out... Lawyers are not know for their honesty and descretion either) and various other professions where they may be recognized and thus endanger their status in the community. It would, however, be nice if these people would answer a note even to say, thanks but no thanks.
Now for the meeting thing. We solved that one years ago. Try meeting at a mall close to one of you. Meet in the food court and if you have a no show.... go shopping...momma will always be able to find something to spend money on. One good thing about this venue is No reservations to make. No getting all dressed up and putting on the dog for the other couple....you get to be yourself with no aires and they get the same. If the show make sure that you two have a way to recognize you ..exchange a pic or wear something out of the ordinary. If you hit it off then go to dinner a movie but don't try to hook up that day or night. Saturday afternoon is a good time to meet. Another strategy to meet is at a club...where you'd go anyway.. If you don't click simply go your own ways and have a good night.
Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't but you won't know until you try.
Good luck and HUGS
