There are all kinds of predators out there. I have been in a r/t abusive "vanilla" relationship. I never want to go through that again. I hope by taking my time, and using the fact that I can't yet begin to try r/t to find a Dom for me, spending my time learning and talking with those into D/s even only online, that I will be better prepared and able to avoid being the victim of a predator. I have also found a group in my area and hope at some point soon, early next year maybe, to attend my first munch and begin making r/t friends in the L/s. SweetSarijane The best advice i can give is follow your instincts; take time to allow a Man into your life, and LEAVE the first time he hurts you. The first blow is a critical decision-point and while the Man is on bended knee saying it will never happen again with a dozen roses, it WILL happen again. Additionally, there is no substitute for verifiable information. At some point, when you feel He may be your One, ask for a background check showing His credit, criminal and property records, and go through an attorney so that His social security number can be blacked out but you can be sure the report is on Him. You can also ask for a work history from the Social Security Administration, once again, using a lawyer to redact the ssn. You can play private detective...and there are on-line sites which offer some information based on His name and address, but the most important information requires His social security number...so an attorney as a go-between who has a duty of confidentiality is the ticket. An abusive Man in His 40's or so has abused other women; you cannot be the first. It usually begins with the first wife, but i had cases of teenagers being abused. Questions about His past may be revealing...if you listen well enough. Pay particular attention to any anger or hatred He espouses for someone who left Him, particularly if the break up is quite a long time ago. Lastly, miss, anytime you wish feel free to email me on the other side. i represented battered women for all my years in Florida and feel i have some insight and experience that may help you....and i very much want people to be safe. candystripper
