i recently (2 months ago),was asked to be released of my duties as a Man's sub... there were too many issues between us!

i have found myself craving to serve again, only in real time. i am not into the onlinen or phone Domination at all!

there is this Dom on CM that i find to be very appealing to me, not only physically... but mentally and emotionally.  it was almost an instant, mutual attraction. i have this great desire to serve Him, there is no question that i would do so.

i suppose my questions would be:

is it best for me to allow more time to pass before getting into yet another D/s relationship?

should i go with my heart and be happy in life?

am i simply vulnerable at this point and reaching out for the comfort that i did not receive with my previous Dom?

It might be too soon, but what is the rush? If this new Dom is the real thing for you, he will be the real thing no matter how long it takes.
Be patient and get to know him before you decide.

Go with your heart, but keep your brain at the wheel.  Voice your concerns to him if you have not already done so.  Let the relationship evolve slowly and get to know him before you fully commit.

There is never a good reason to rush into any relationship.  There is rarely a good reason to fear a relationship.  Find the middle ground between the two extremes.

Only you can answer if it is time or you are vulnerable.

Everyone needs time after a breakup but that time is variable based on the person and the situation. The first part of your post reads like a person who is objective but the last part of your post not so much.

Maybe if you look back in your past and see what you have done before and if you bounced from one relationship to another then this could very well be the same situation. If you in the past have not felt you have jumped too soon into other relationships then trust your instincts, just make sure you go into the new one with an open mind as well as a heart.

Only you have the answer to that trusting.  I would be honest with him about your recent breakup and go slow if you decide to go forward, but there truly are no rules that apply to everyone about when, it's individual.

As I was once told " If it is true and real then voice your concerns and she will stay and wait for you. If it is fake then she will be gone and you will have no worries."  Please replace the she with what ever gender is in your best intrest but it is a statement that I have found true. After voicing your concerns and your fears see his reaction feal his reaction with your head not your heart. If he lives a long way off and it is going to require you to move think longer and harder about it and have money in the bank before you get out there to get your self back. If you dont CYA no one will. CYA= Cover Your Ass

There is no set time frame and can very greatly from one person to another, bases on emotional impact and circumstances of the break up If you were in a 2 or more year long relationship and  the relationship ended with extremely hurt feelings for you and createdserous  self esteem problems, I would highly doubt you would be ready  for a relationship  other than with a counsellor. It could be a couple years even more before one is read for a new relationship

If your prior relationship only lasted a couple months and you never really developed a bond , and no real emotional upheaval  upon parting , you could possibly be ready to start a new search the smae well  as long as you  understood why  the relationship did not work so as to avoid a repeat.

Sounds to me the the relationship has already begun and that he is in agreement?, so  maybe a little late to be asking ??? take your time getting to know him and find out if the 2 of you are compatible.
I have met a number of guys that I was very attracted to emotionally , physically, mentally but knew they would never make good long term partners for me only play partners

trusting,

As to time tween relationships, only you can asnwer that but with some thoughtful guidance I would say this, your not ready untill you fully understand what went wrong with the prior one.

I would say go with your heart - but also take your time - there is no rush in any relationship - give it time to develop.

I find it is best to ask yourself a series of questions. If you are comfortable with how you question them then you should move foreward if you are not comfortable with your answers then you should ask yourself why you aren't and then what you need to do next.

I always ask

  • What do I know about this persons History, Yes it is possible for people to change but a Tiger is a Tiger no matter how badly it wants leopards spots.
  • Do you desire the Person or what the person means. Often we get into relationships because we don't want to be alone and so we choose someone who seems compatable but all they are really doing is changing the Single slot to Couple.
  • Does this person respect me as a Person? I know this is a Loaded question in the BDSM world but Dom or sub I think you should know where you stand.
  • Is there more than a Physical and Sexual Attraction? It is easy to be swept away in romance, In Kink, and in Happiness, but once that starts to become a comfortable place what will you have to drive you foreward? What do you have in common, Is that enough to move you forward?
  • Do you BOTH want the exact same thing? All too often we start a relationship with the hopes that someone will change eventually and when they don't we get hurt, You in all honesty cannot change what a person wants, yes sometimes it happens but it had nothing to do with you it had to do with them changing on thier own. It's just easier when you are both on the same page let alone in the same book.

I find that this is a START. If you are happy with your answers then GO GIRL, Go be happy.

Also remember even failed relationships can be learned from so in reality it is a win win situation no matter what you do. I say Be happy, just know your consequences.

As Always

Steel

Especially with a child, you need to take time. Like Estring said, "...What is the rush?" If you're talking about a relationship you intend for the rest of your life, that means you have time to make sure it's right. ...and definitely DO NOT decide your feelings about the guy from conversations online/phone. Talk, get some back ground, meet him in a safe place a number of times. All relationships require trust, and trust requires time and consistancy. There are no shortcuts.

Excellent questions you present SteelofUtah.  Wish I had asked myself those questions from the beginning.  Might have avoided all this heartache and tears right now. 

To OP....when it comes to relationships; kinky, vanilla, or some variation in between...you have to heal before you can move on.  The time depends on you.  It's one thing to want to serve, but be careful it's not to just fill a void.  That only prevents you from processing pain (the bad kind) and emotional issues, which feels good for awhile.  But those feelings and issues will definately catch up to you eventually.

I would say- go ahead and move forward, just keep it slow.

Since you know there are things to be watchful for, you would be consciously and willingly ignoring the things you know you shouldn't ignore if you were to rush ahead.  If you can be happy with that, then go for it.

But what do you have to lose by making yourself act like a responsible adult and taking it slow?

I answered a question very similar to this yesterday if I recall correctly.

Essentially, make sure you are comfortable with yourself before looking to move into any type of relationship. Any relationship we have, the good ones and the bad ones, change us, with their experience we can learn and grow as people. But with that change comes the need to understand yourself all over again. What has changed? How is it better? What does it mean for this situation?

Patience is a worthy virtue.

If you don't know what is best for you I'd err on the side of doing nothing.
