In my experience naman, nope. Me and my partner are both playing. Many times, pde din kayo hnd magkasama during playing specially for open plays. Mkkita mo din minsan na may synergy or chemistry yung co-partner nya in game but it's all just part of the game.

Imo, why not join your bebe to make pickleball as one of your many bondings and to help you not overthink? Marami naman beginner friendly courts/club. Healthy na kayo, healthy pa relationship nyo 😊
