Well, I would be terrified to do it with people I didn't know, too. But behind the guy I was drafting behind, I trusted him to not do anything weird, since he had been riding pacelines for years, and I didn't have to be perfect, like I would have with BF, and he kept glancing back to check on me, and giving me all kinds of hand signals, some of which were self-explanatory, and some of which weren't, and it was mostly really amazing and relaxing. So I guess it's better to learn how to do it with friends that aren't going to kill you if you screw up, because that makes you less nervous, and things just go better, then.
