So my husband and I host a game night for a few hours once or twice monthly. There were never many issues starting out until we added some newer friends and ones we hadn't seen for a long time. Now we have people hitting on one another and making the other uncomfortable as well as using the game night as a singles group in order to find someone because they are desperate. I dont really blame them, but the other people (long time attendees) are now uncomfortable and I feel its putting strain on the group. Some of the sought after singles have even said they are not intrested, but still they are pursued by the other.

I told my husband that we need to make a public announcement to the group that we are strictly a group for games and not a singles meeting singles group, but my husband disagrees and says we should quietly speak with each person. Now, keep in mind this has been going on for about 4 months or so and during this time we have already spoken with them about these interests and heard both sides and it seems like my husband hopes a couple of them get together. Honestly I'd be overjoyed for them if they did, however, they all don't like the attention and its becoming a bigger wave now. One of those being sought after now wants to have some time away from the grouo when the other will be there and they both have been there for almost every game night. I feel the wave is getting big and we should at least let the group know the intentions and premise of what we intend our evenings to be rather than allow the white elephant in the room to continue. My husband says I'm being to direct and says he'll handle it and he says to trust him, but I'm really upset because we have these issues and my husband has had a few months to make a move and talk personally with each one and hasn't. He says this is normal group function. Maybe I was raised in a nunnery, but I dont remember group settings as a time when singel people get sexually harassed at a table while playing games for 4 hours and the other laughs or where people get pursued even though they politely say they are not intrested. Anyone have any advise as to what we might be able to do? Thank you in advance.
