Sorry, i'm not a Mistress (or even a Dominant); but i feel qualified to answer this question because i am a living, breathing, feeling and yes, thinking human being. People on both sides of the coin seem to think that finding their counterpart in the bdsm and Ds lifestyles should be easy, and this absolutely blows my mind. Finding a real and lasting relationship of any kind is supposed to be difficult. You are not trying to pick out your car color or style of sockes here, you are looking for someone to share the most intimate details and moments of your life with. Finding a Dominant or a submissive is not supposed to be easier than finding a vanilla lifemate; there are more inherent risks to your emotional, physical and mental (and yes, sometimes finacial) well-being in the lifestyle than in the mundane. You don't go to Doms r Us and pick out one and tailor it to fit. If you're looking for someone from here. You look at the most superficial aspects possible in their profile. You follow up in their journal and posts and see if maybe you might fit in their life, and decide if they might fit in yours. You then attempt to contact them. If they see the same possibilities in you that you see in them, you may then move onto chat or email correspondance. After some time you may then decide to exchange numbers, where you don't have minutes, hours or days to think and rethink the proper thing to say or way to respond to look the best in their eyes. Eventually, you may decide to set up a public meet; hopefully taking all the proper precautions on both sides. You'll usually want to do this several times over at least a month before you come to terms on contracts or move to physical interaction. If all goes well, you have spent a lot of time in getting to know the person you are devoting so much of your time and energy into and have found the counterpart that you seek. This can take months or even years or trial and error, and guess what; you may never find that perfect fit for you. _________________________________________________________________ If you meet someone at a munch, social or other event; you can skip the first couple of steps here, but you're still going to have to put alot of time and energy into finding THE ONE.
