I am a firm believer in having the first meeting in public. As a Domme I talk with the sub in advance and choose the place, make it during the day, and we have either coffee together or a meal. I have a 24 hour rule - no session until we've had time to think about how we feel about each other. I do not try to dominate during the meeting, but look for signs of respect. I try to put the person at ease, talk with them about safe words (even if we have done it in writing previously), explain what I expect when they walk through the door for a session, and make sure that I feel totally comfortable with them. Then, when the session day comes, we both know that I will be in charge from the moment I see them. I will ask a "how are you" type of question but it is more than just a pleasantry - I need to know immediately if someone is having either a physical or emotional problem.
