I just want to check in here to get some feedback. Is this an accepted practice...adding yourself to a group of folks who don't know you? If so, are there things I should be aware of to make it work most smoothly.

Like I said, I haven't done this before and I'm just looking for some input regarding its acceptability and any other information I should be aware if I choose to do it.

Thanks. in advance.
I do this all the time. Since my wife became somewhat ill a year ago, I am reluctant to commit to a group, so I just sign up as a single, usually with a pre-existing threesome. I've always been welcomed, even if it is in the middle of a group of 20. And 8 or 9 of these groups have asked me to join, although I have had to politely decline until things improve.
