ORIGINAL: cloudboy I know I'd have trouble reconciling "friends only" with, "I told him in a nice way, that I was not interested in a casual relationship." I can certainly understand the idea that "friends only" might indicate acceptance of casual to some people, however I have a different take on it. I see friendship as very serious business. I may have many associates in life, but I am selective about who I choose to be My friends. I sometimes get confused when I see people getting to know each other with an eye to finding an intimate or romantic partner from the start, seeming to skip friendship totally. I, Myself do sometimes accept someone for casual interaction - be it a scene, partner in a shared hobby, escort for the symphony, etc... It's amazing how I say "would you like to accompany Me to the symphony" (we have a wonderful local one that gives concerts at no cost) and they hear "would you like to move in, chain yourself to My ankle and father My children?" Sometimes, rather than go off the handle at the first sign of provocation, a sub/slave could ask what the Mistress means when She says She doesn't do casual.....? Novel idea, but it just might work.
