softness -> Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 6:26:29 AM)

So we talk about first meets, and how crucial they are, we talk about getting to know people, and how important it is. I often wonder though - because we hear so little - how many people actually take that step, to meet at that coffee shop, get on the train, drive to that airport. Or how many people when faced with the Everest like task of putting their heart on the line, just freeze up.

Three years ago I met this man in a chat room. He asked me if I wanted to be of service, I answered that I did, and we fell to chatting. Three years of increasingly intensive chatting later .. some serious changes to my attitude and his circumstances and I am 12 days away from being with him for my first visit. We are both waiting for me to implode in a world of panic and dread about this. I came to the realisation today that I think that point has come and gone.

In under two weeks I will finally get to experience what it is like to be on the inside of the dynamic I have always been looking for. One that is healthy, challenging, rewarding, loving and above all that one based on me being owned meat. We both want an honest to god, no shit, real damn deal 24/7 TPE service based, heavy playing, Master slave relationship. My first taste of it will be a very serious interview, which if I dont pass will result in me having a nice holiday, and a good friend, but nothing more.

Now undoubtably I will in some way mess up on my interview. Doubtless I will be a needy and annoying cunt at some stage, or I will unthinkingly do something that just drives him up the wall. No doubt he will hurt my feelings without intending to, or push a button neither of us knew about being a problem. Now for years that going out to him has been an off and on possibility I have been dreading the interview process - the thought of it terrified me ..

Today though, I saw I wasn't scared anymore . . he will either be pleased with the real life me, or he wont. He will either be excited and aroused by me, or he wont. I will either be the type of girl he likes around or I wont be. I will either perform service as he likes it .. or I wont. He will either be the Owner I ahve always wanted, or he will just be a boarsih middle aged man. He will either get right inside my head and blow my mind .. or he wont. It wont be the end of the world and it wont kill either of us if it doesn't work out.

Even though almost three years of chatting, thousands of pounds of phone calls, God only knows how many hundreds of thousands of lines of text or skype minutes has gone into our relationship so far there is nothing magical or mystical about me stepping off that plane in 12 days time. Its like a big expensive date. Nothing to be afraid of, just something to embrace and enjoy and see where it leads. So yeah ok I do get a little goey and romantic about it when I day dream, but my version of goey and romantic is like Hostel .. so dont worry about me too much.

So to all those people worried about getting out there and meeting people, who over blow the importance of a first meet, who agonise about when is the right time to meet/play with/collar/be collared ... just get on-the fuck-with it. Dont let dread and fear of how big and scary it is stop you from actually just getting on with it.

Everest is a mountain, it has been climbed, you have all the equipment to climb it if that is what you really want to do. So, do you really want it, or is it just a nice idea?

Softness--

Congratulations, and great attitude.  I think the moment we realize that half of life is the getting up and doing it part, the rest is a whole lot easier to enjoy.  Wrestling with myself is the hardest part of anything, for me, but it sounds like you are in a great place for this.  I hope it goes well, but if not, I hope you have a good time, anyway.




cjan -> RE: Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 6:45:21 AM)

I agree that you have a great attitude regarding your first meeting and anything that might ensue, softness. It's best to be positive and hopeful yet without expectations that things will turn out a certain way. It's realistic and healthy. And, btw, imo, they are attractive traits to have and will attract a healthy and realistic mate. To have needs is to be human. To recognize and honor them in ourselves and others is healthy and not at all the same as being needy.

My best wishes to you in your adventure.

I think my Harris quote is the most telling about where my paradigm is.  I don't want to live in the world of "what ifs".

Though I can understand the trepidation of making a huge investment that can turn sour if you move forward, I really can.  However, what kind of happiness can be gained by continuing to make the investment without moving forward?  Unless hope for the what could bes are what keeps a person going, it becomes unfufilling sooner or later.  It can also build up the hype to such and extent that Batman wouldn't make you happy (most people say Superman, but I prefer the Dark Knight).

I think that you've got a realistic expectation and I wish you a life time of happiness and new experiences.

Firstly i hope you have a fantastic time and that you pass your interview with flying colours. Good luck.
 
Also i too think your attitude is great and hope i get to where you are at some point. I do think its worth noting though that some of us don't wait (for whatever reasons) for three years before getting out and meeting someone. After three years you should be comfortable with each other anyway. After 3 months which is how long ive waited before agreeing to meet someone its a little different, the level of comfort and knowledge of that person arent the same.

I 100% agree with you ... its been far too long for us to have waited, but the reasons for the wait were sound and it is probably best that we did wait until now to step everything up a gear.

I have every confidence that things will go well .. i didn't have that confidence after three months .. and in fact looking back I would have failed the interview if we had done it then.

btw ... nice thread on IC ... Eric with cling film .. too cute!

Is the grass greener on the other side of the fence. In your case I hope so.  




mistoferin -> RE: Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 7:17:56 AM)

You must have the patience of Job. 3 years? Wow, I think I'd have a hard time waiting more than 3 weeks.....or maybe 3 days.....

chamberqueen -> RE: Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 7:44:52 AM)

I remember the day I first met my Master in person.  I am the type of person that typically shows up early to a meeting.  I had run a map on the internet, got all dressed up, curled my hair - but had no hairspray.

I should have gotten there 20 minutes early but got lost.  My cell phone wasn't working and it took me quite a while to find a pay phone.  I stood there in the December wind and sleet and called the restaurant to let him know that I was going to be late.  I told him that I understood if he didn't want to wait for me.  He told me just to ask for directions and he would wait there.

I had to stop two additional times for directions because each person had mistakenly directed me just a little incorrectly.  I walk in 40 minutes late, hair all bedraggled, and find him on the phone.  Of course, I have not right to complain because I was so late and look like I just crawled in out of the rain.  (Impressive right off the bat, right?)

Oh, it gets worse.  He gets off the phone and things are going pretty well.  I excuse myself to go to the bathroom, check to make sure that the buttons on my dress are still correctly buttoned (because this particular dress has a habit of coming undone) and walk out with a smile on my face.  I climb back up on the stool, and next thing I know he's pulling at the front of my dress and saying "You don't have to undress yet".  I look done and the top button is still done up, but the next three down have all popped open.  Talk about embarrassed!  I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You two have already built up a relationship, and I think it's wonderful that you finally get to meet.  Remember that you already know this person.  The harder you try to be perfect the more mistakes you'll start to make.  Just be yourself; that's who he likes.  Yes, I was late, but I called and that impressed my Master.  He also liked it that I could make a joke when I was embarrassed by the dress (and later by the necklace that got caught in the bedspread and I couldn't get loose).  Perfection isn't what a Dom or Master is looking for - it's the attitude.




SailingBum -> RE: Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 7:51:37 AM)

After three years, all these expectations are built up, all these hopes ... and it is still mostly built on expectation of how the other person feels in person. It could be the worst case of bad chemistry ever. It doesn't help that your eyes look sad in your picture.

~heavy sigh~

you realise we have had to rethink all our ideas about a "perfect" first meeting around the fact you will have huggletackled me to the ground and poor Sir will have a writhing pile of girls at his feet in the middle of a busy airport ..

and who says we are not going to kidnap you and send you back to Yorkshire to live a life of tea drinking and Bronte reading!? ... its our Master/slave plan ,,,, mwah hahaha

and there I was aiming for sultry "come abuse me" eyes

trust me .. one thing neither of us are worried about is chemistry ... his snoring and my baking yes .,.. sexual chemistry ... no chance




charlotteS -> RE: Looking at Everest .. and seeing its just a mountain (5/13/2008 10:08:42 AM)

There actually is a small part of me that imagines you might try something just like that.  Maybe Master should get me chipped before he puts me on that train. [8D]
