lucyboy, can we stop for a min, I am trying to read and although I find the respondents funny, I think you are truly upset and I will try to answer your origional question seriously. So as someone mentioned, CHILL. Think of mistresses, if you will as a different or same breed as Male Masters. Yet, think deeper. Males (in general, not just bdsm lifestyle) do not ask for compensation for their time and energy in dating nor Dominant-partners. Some might say because men 1. aren't worth paying for, or 2. men have their own wealth (self-sufficient) 3. men have too much pride than to have to be payed (aka won't let a woman pay for his dinner) for his time and attention by some dame in order to enjoy his company or 4. men (in general) are the stronger sex and SHOULD afford such as compensation/security/gifts to a woman because of values and upbringing or so called old fashioned values. Imagine the life of a Femme Domme, Pro or non pro. She is a woman. She is perhaps a feminist, perhaps just as or more capable as some men in her field of expertise. She is tired, yet alert, she is perhaps domineering, yet backlashed (for it), she is strong, yet subtle. She struggles, yet disallows any aknowledgement of such. She is the very same and yet the oppsosite as a submissive. Please, do not assume that She is less of a Domme because she might ask for a gift. She may not even have to require of such if this was 1980-ish and pre-internet days. I have heard of SOME submissives that test/require a means to prove your loyalty via a transaction of some kind. I have heard of some submissives milking cash from Dominants and then disappearing. Why a gal or anyone does this is beyond me. Although requests of anything monetary is unjust or maybe unkind to some, it might be (since she is distrusting of you as a 'one in a billion' true submissive) she is a non-pro who is inviting you to prove something because she is mistrusting the www scene. Your situation is no different. If you can send a gift, or imply a gift mentality of non-monetary means to prove to yourself and your potential Domme and she appreciates it, by all means, I suggest that. If you make her a macaroni necklace and mail it to her and she cooks it out of hunger, then let her eat it. If you create a picture of her favorite place on earth out of rice and dye it purple for the sky, then let her boil it. If she wears your macaroni, if she hangs up your rice..then you know OMG she appreciates my effort to prove my love. If she eats it. Move on. My point is???? Offer to GIVE something other than something of cash value to prove your loyalty and possession to her. If it/that is rejected then you know you will not and cannot tolerate that and it is a set boundary that you will not cross. If she accepts your offer, give and give more. Untill then, shuddup about it and learn to say NO, stop thinking about it and keep walking. So darn simple.
