The evening belongs to you
A charity dinner, a reception and a formal party can each have a different rhythm. Tell me what the occasion is, whether your invitation includes a guest, and which part you would like to share: the arrival, the whole event or dinner afterwards. I would never assume that I am already included on your invitation.
Perhaps you want somebody to talk with between courses. Perhaps you would value a discreet presence when meeting familiar faces. I would like to understand what helps you enjoy the evening on your own terms, rather than drawing attention to myself.
Introductions worth discussing beforehand
We can speak on the phone before meeting. We agree on how you would like to introduce me, the dress code and whether you prefer to avoid photographs or public posts. There is no need to invent a romantic history. Simple, respectful words may be more comfortable for both of us.
We check the venue, start time, duration and journey. If the event is away from my base in Spain, I will check whether I can travel. We agree on the terms, fee and travel expenses before booking, so nothing important becomes an awkward surprise on the night.
The part we cannot script
We can plan the practical details. We cannot write the conversation we might have once we sit down together. I enjoy listening, noticing the small things and allowing room for an easy silence too. Looking the part matters, but feeling at ease together matters more.
If you have an invitation and would like company, tell me the city, approximate date and kind of event. Let us talk first and see whether we connect. Then we can arrange the rest clearly.
