Minino, as I read your post, I noticed it was remarkably similar to a situation in which I was once involved. There was a wonderful woman who was...getting to know me, for lack of a better term...and she demanded that I take a dominant role from time to time. As much as it pained me, I could not do as she asked. It is the reason the relationship fell apart (unlike our friendship), but in my humble opinion, I believe this has much to do with how the submissive views his or her Mistress. In what light does a sub view his or her Mistress? It could be as a goddess, a queen, a dominant woman, an owner, a superior...there are as many views as there are real submissive men. For me, the loving owner/dominant/superior viewpoints, or somewhere in between, is the best way I can describe my ideals. As such, I'm very uncomfortable performing (or trying to perform) in a dominant role in relation to her, whomever she may be. It's different at work, around vanillas, where for some odd reason I've found myself in a supervisory position. I don't mind calling the shots there, because my coworkers are my equals. But asking me to behave in a dominant fashion toward my Mistress (whomever that may be) is akin to asking the guy cleaning the toilets on some battleship to give the captain orders. It's not comfortable for me, it's not natural, and unless she's somehow amused by it (or my reactions), I try to avoid it at all costs. At any rate, just a little food for thought...and good luck. *smiles* -Einzelgänger
