I think the only negative experience I have ever had at NEST would be (and Dan can attest to this) some of the looks that my girlfriend gets while we're there. Now, I can't really get upset over most of them, given nature of the event, and given the HOTTNESS of my girlfriend, but some people are a little too...hungry looking.

Yummy lil hamburgers...*shiver*

I will be attending Nest my 2nd time this year,and when I did attend my 1st Nest despite being a very outgoing person , I wasn;t sure just how my presence meeting all these new people would be and I said to myself that I was going to have the best time that I could ,after all I had spent quite a bit of money getting there and I was excited about seeing and participating in all of the activities.
In my experience, after about 10 minutes chatting and getting the opportunity to surround myself with the people that were all as excited as I was about being there, I know it sounds corny to some who haven;t experienced this before but I did feel like I was just welcomed into a family of a wonderful group of men and women and I could feel the warmth from everyone smiling and laughing.
But being completely honest and frank, there were a few people that were present there that upon meeting for first time in person,the chemistry or repore wasn;t there and it was clear to those parties involved and myself that we didn't want to be in close proximity,but we could be in the same room together and be civil to one another..Pretty much what happened was I went my way hanging out with the people I wanted to get to know and that person went their way.. AS someone stated earlier,some people plain just don;t have interest in hanging out with a particular person ,people and once that is understood then as I did,I spent some time considering alternatives but at same time avoiding confrontation.
Sorry that I was long winded ..

As one of the new people attending NEST this year I want to say that this thread has answered most of questions that I have had. I am looking forward to seeing the faces of friends I have only talked to via pm's, email, and by phone. The host's should be applauded for the time and energy they put into this affair. It can't be easy. So thank you guys very much!

There are a few exceptions to every rule.

The person being touched has to feel uncomfortable or awkward for the rule to be put into effect. Even if it's just the slightest bit.

Then again, the only people who start giving massages and such to others are already great friends.

Wouldn't those things violate the no-uninvited-touch rule, though?

Unwanted massages or rubs of any type will be treated the same as any unwanted touch.....

ONLY people who know each other or have permission are allowed to touch anyone else.....

All must ask first or they will be dealt with according to the rules NO exceptions....

If you touch without asking you may very well be asked to leave...

What Terorizer was referrring to was the bonds made between people who have atttended this and other events in the past...We hug, we cuddle and massages are always welcome among good friends...

No one will do any of that to you if they dont know you personally...

Good stuff!

It's this kind of information exchange that prompted me to dust a few of these off.

It's all about the Love big bear!...

 

[AffectionateDan]

Yanno, I've heard that somewhere...
