I find it very interesting and entertaining how some of the responders to my OP are interpreting MY feelings and intentions.

I have no interest in the girl. I don't want to save her. I don't want to save anybody.

Perhaps this woman has had significant communication with the prospective Dom through email and phone conversations that are leaning heavily toward a positive outcome. Or maybe not. However she is approaching her desires, it’s really not anyone’s concern unless she personally invites someone to guide or support her in her decisions.

I had a thought, and a feeling, and decided it might be enlightening to let others opine upon it.

I’m with RosesHaveThorns in that I am confused as to what is the problem? This person is positive and motivated regarding a possible D/s relationship with someone. In what way does anything you have quoted from her profile automatically spell doom and trouble?

Opine you most certainly have...lol.

Then why do you seem so disturbed by others’ responses? When one opens up one’s point of view one opens it up for consideration by others based on their thoughts, and feelings, (and experiences) as well.
 
Understand and realize that not everyone will think or feel like you do. That’s neither bad nor good, it just is.

I renderred the OP so that it reflected the initial, gut-level response to the profile. I could have done otherwise. I could have thought about it for a while, rationalized it, intellectualized it, and so forth. I could have written the post so that it defined my feelngs in a more pallatable form. I chose not to.

Why didn’t you? It might have let others realize where you are coming from in a more succinct way.

I don't obsess about much of anything, to be honest. I do have feelings, though. Sometimes they are very very positive... sometimes not.

That's life.

I'll tell you what I learned from this thread and all of  your responses; I must be careful not to allow emotional impressions affect my consideration of a topic. To do so is to invite all sorts of mistakes. In this case, it seems, first impressions are not the ones to hold to.

There is nothing wrong with sharing emotional impressions. Yet, to make an automatic assumption that this woman is in some sort of trouble or is deluded, without personally knowing her circumstances is speculation, without fact upon which to base any relative meaning, is…meaningless.
