Question on Dom/Sub Talk - 11/4/2007 5:23:38 PM

Status: offline 		Now this is not me complaing, but I wanna see if anyone else has had an issue with this. Ive talked to a few people (who will remain nameless) who ive read there profiles, see what there interested in, what they wanna talk about and the whole 9 yards. I send them mail,  I keep it real and semi personal, ask to speak with them more, ill get a response back with them saying something like "Id love to talk more, talk to me on AIM soon" or "sure, I defently love to talk more, send me a message on AIM or E-Mail me". Then the X factor happens, they chicken out or just never respond back.

Now I understand that some women can be real busy, but the same thing has happend bout 7 times. I dont see that im doing anything wrong and im just curious if anyone has an opinion on this cause its a little bit frustrating.

Second of all, I have no idea what you're saying in your messages to these women so I have no clue what would make them run in particular, although your journal entry is one that would cancel you out of my list of potentials. I ~hate~ journal entries with that complaint -the message is overtly manipulative (you're not a "real" sub if you don't talk to me) and whiny at the same time.

So your looking for someone with similar interests and someone you can relate to? I can see a bunch of things Id be willing to talk to you about. Anything to do with Bondage and S&M, Photography, Art Galleries, Horseback riding, Travel, Heavy Metal and Rock Music. I'm willing to talk to ya bout about anything. I'm a very open person, I keep it real and I tell it how it is. If your interested in speaking with me some more, feel free to message me back or ask for my AIM or YIM name. Have a good evening and hop to hear back from you soon.

I said thats fine take your time. Havent heard from her since

This happens all the time and it really doesn't matter whether you're seeking an intimate relationship or not.  Master and I are interested in meeting other females for play and possibly something deeper with the right match.  We have profiles here saying that and I post alot on the forums and email back and forth with some folks from there just as friends.  Whenever a new female sub appears that is in our nearby area, if her profile seems literate and she is seeking friends or just someone to talk to, I'll sometimes respond to her.  I say that friends only is cool - no pressure whatsoever.  Master and I are very happy with each other and aren't desperately seeking anyone.  If a newbie around here just wants to talk with someone else interested in the "lifestyle," that's great.  It's always nice to have someone intelligent to chat with. 

Anyway....my point, finally, is that even when I (a female) approach someone seeking friends as a potential friend, they will oftentimes say "Oh yes, I'd love it," etc., etc. and then never follow through.  No pressure, no strings, just offering what they say they want, then they never respond back more than that once.  Why?  I don't know.  Maybe they got busy, maybe they found someone they're getting serious about, maybe they think I won't be interesting to talk to.  I don't know and, if they don't respond again, I really don't care.  There's many, many people out there.  Blow them off if they blow you off.  They'll be other, probably more interesting folks come by in due time...............luci

There could be a zillion reasons why someone does not follow through. Many honest, logical reasons are possible: they really are busy, computer problems, family issues, they just aren't that into you. If you have truly captured someone's interest though you will both make an effort to stay in touch. If not, don't worry about it too much.
 
Lots of folks are testing the waters here. They have thoughts, fantasies, desires that they may or may not really want to play out or make a serious part of their life. Sometimes people simply get scared at the thought of making their fantasy a reality and as a result of that fear they back away. And I'm sure there are more than a few to whom this is all just a game. But who really knows. You can't control other people's actions (well eventually, as a Dom, you WILL be able to, but for now...) You can only control how you react to others' actions.
 
Personally I've had lots of those initial contacts that turn into dust. But there have been a few that have resulted in face to face meets and interesting RT encounters. These usually happened rather quickly, no chasing each other around for months at a time. You know the old proverb...You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet a prince. Well, it's true here on CM too.

She sent me 2 face pics and her aim, i sent her a message back saying ill add her on aim. She said she is doing homework and cant get on right away, I said thats fine take your time. Havent heard from her since.



About a week?  Would that be 5 days or 10 days?  I am one who does not chat at all.  And you email would not have impressed Me.  A bit casual for My taste.  However, she apparently enjoyed it and is willing to chat.
What I see here is a "you add me, I add you" thing, and no specific arrangements.  If you happen to be online at the same time and catch one another that's great.  If not, oh well?
The casualness of the email in and of itself could be the problem.  You do not seem anxious, which is a good thing, but  could also be sending the message "whatever...later..." 
Is this person in your same time zone?  Do you have any information regarding the amount of homework and other obligations?  Is there a job? night classes?  Are you already in bed at 1AM when she is just getting home from school at 10PM in Cali and signing on for an hour?  Did you follow up and try to make a date to chat online?  If chatting is that important to you, then perhaps you need to strive for more than a  "Hey, what's up?" attitude.  Because some people would take it to be exactly that?  "Hey, what's up?  If we ever run into each other online, I would love to chat"...yada, yada, yada.
Make any sense?

Status: offline 		Mm. I don't know Travis. Like I said, you have a lot of competition. What I see in your message is that you spend time talking about you (most all of that is on your profile) but you don't ~engage~ her. What is in there to make her respond? What can put your message ahead of the hundred others?

The erotic / bondage photography, while possibly legitimate, adds a definite "creepy" factor, and your message isn't strong - it's a little on the desperate side, kind of like you're asking her to take the lead.

Read her profile, find some common ground, come up with a couple of questions for her based on those similarities, compliment her, draw her in, make her want to answer you.

What she said.

And yes, people get busy... I have about 4 people that I'd REALLY like to get to know better but I don't have the time between work and school to communicate with them on a daily basis.
Or I'm so tired at the end of the day that I can not think straight.

If you want to get a girls attention, talk about her-and what she wants.

Rather than all about you-she'll ask that if your interest excites hers.

I should NOT be having to say something so terribly obvious.

I have a long profile make me feel like you read it; that you understand what I seek and let me know what we have in common.   Be yourself and try not to really sell yourself in a sleazy way...not to say that your had done this in your example.

Oh Rrafe you would be surprised.  I was out with a potential, and told him he could ask me anything he liked.  He said that he couldn't think of anything!

Oh dear, too worried he would offend?

I tend to just say "Don't worry,I have the squick factor of a wolf eel."

So I can start a conversation about that the hell a 'wolf eel" is.
