Let me clarify - I did not "flip out" externally.  Actually, I was damn near speechless and could barely find the words I wanted to say.  He called right away and was agressive with ME.

So how many of us told you that you were wrong for "flipping out", and you come back on page 5 and tell us you didn't really flip out?  May I respectfully suggest, the next time you are looking for advice or wanting to vent or whatever, that you describe the situation in a rational way with non-inflammatory verbiage?  You might get more constructive answers.

I apologize if my thoughts were not expressed appropriately yesterday as I was rather upset.  I am much more collected today.

I didn't have a question - I was just replying to CalifChick's post, explaining that things are a little clearer today.

leigh, i really emphasize with what you went through.

i had similar feelings and situations as i first tried online.

you are probably in 'sub frenzy' (do a search, lots of info in this forum and on the internet about it), as a new submissive, and feeling a LOT of push from your submissive feelings and sex drive to find a Dom.. this can lead to some unwise decisions, which MANY of us newbies make..

it was unwise to plan to go to a hotel after meeting.. that is kind of a step best left to further meetings, not the first. though you were prudent enough to ask for personal info, which means he can't avoid responsibility if something unfortunate happens. this is undoubtably why he backed out.. as many suggested, married man.. couldn't give you that information without you finding out, most likely why he faded out. so, you ended up protecting yourself well.. even though it feels instead like you were rejected. in fact.. it is wise and prudent actions on your part which did the job they were supposed to do.

so give yourself a pat on the back for taking care of yourself under a lot of emotional pressure, in a new and uncertain situation you haven't had to deal with before.

as for giving more clear information after upon questioning.. that is also normal. it is very difficult to completely and accurately outline a complex situation the first time you bring it up. i appreciated all your additional comments and info that more completely fleshed out the situation.

Also, please realize that the Collarme community contains a certain percentage of Doms and submissives with sadistic streaks. Newbies are easy targets for them here to practise a little psychological sadism, primarily by making disparaging, humiliating and disapproving comments picking apart your posts rather than honestly asking questions to find a better way to give you sincere feedback on your quesitons.

Look upon this sadistic attention as like getting whistles and cat calls when walking past a construction site... vulgar, uncalled for, undignified and offensive. but also a bit flattering. . they noticed you were female and attractive. Here.. take it as the sadists seeing you as attractive fresh submissive meat, and take it with a sense of humor.

i was very very very fortunate with my first meeting with a Dom. All the other Dom's had scared me off with something i felt uncomfortable with, or faded away for similar reasons as yours did. Henry was the first Dom that i felt truly comfortable meeting, and i could tell that he was a very sincere, honest and straightforward person. I had a great first experience, and we were together for a few days a week for 6 months. unfortunately, we realized we couldn't go forward to a Master/slave relationship because of the age difference and some incompatibility that emerged over the time we spend together, but i never questioned his genuiness or his loving heart for one second.

I hope you feel encouraged to continue your search, and give yourself the value to realize you deserve a wonderful Dom that has character and treats you as a gentleman would. Please don't settle for a 'hookup'.. no matter the pressure you feel under.

Better is out there. I am struggling to meet someone again who wants to be a Master.. and I know it is hard. Your instincts will tell you when you have started communicating with someone trustworthy and good... and they won't have any problem giving you the informaiton you need to feel safe, as your communication unfolds.

hi leigh.. just wanted to add, i didn't mean wait till furthe rmeetings to go to a hotel room.. i meant wait for further meetings to meet in a place that isn't public with other people around.

I personally won't meet in a hotel room. the way i feel about it, is if they aren't comfortable having me in their home, or my having them in my home... well, you aren't comfortable enough to spend time with each other in private.

there is always the option of going to a public dungeon space, or attending a BDSM event together. i sort of consider it the equivalent of going to a dance club for a vanilla date.

if i were ever to be found by a police officer, tied to a bed, half dead and butt naked i would want to have slightly more to say than 'i dunno' to each question he asks me.
 

Let's clarify something:  I've never said she shouldn't get verifiable info before she goes into private with him.  I also never stated that she didn't have the right to desire information before they met in public.  Rather, just that 1) from the other side of things she needs to consider that some who *are* honest and trustworthy don't want to give personal info out online, before they meet someone and are wary of those that ask, and 2) if it IS a personal necessity to get it before a public meeting she needs to be direct about it and not make plans until there's been an even exchange.  A more honest, less implied-expectation, respect-her-boundaries approach from the getg-o (and now, in the future) would've saved her time and distress.   Hopefully this'll not be a wash and this experience and everyone's words will aide in better behavior and decisions in coming interactions.

true, info from here is no protection against con-men and arseholes and we take a risk, calculated and well measured (mostly, not always).  i beleive leigh thought she had the measure of this guy as someone decent and worth meeting up with - it really stinks when you realise that youve been skipping down the subbie path toward hopeful, happy horizons only to realise youve been skipping down the path with a dufass.

 
sorry love, but he is/was and your well shot.

 
I don't understand the slang of the last line.
 
To the rest, I agree, it does stink to find out a possibility turned out to be either just a mismatch or a plain old ass.  I don't think anyone would disagree with that lol... but that's something we all really do deal with since quite young.  It sucks, it can hurt, and I don't wish disappointment on her or anyone but it's just part of interacting with others online or off.  To find the right one(s) you sift through a lot of wrong ones, usually! ;)

He might have reacted to what he saw as your being possessive.  Hell, I would have been pissed off as well.  I don't claim rights to anyone I only know online.  I don't expect anyone to demand absolute allegiance from me from an online dalliance. 
Life in person has more than enough drama without adding in the fantasy aspect of internet love.
I don't think I would have been aggressive with you on that call but I can see it happening.  For me your reaction would have gotten you a "sorry, I don't think this will work out"
Next time you should stop and wait till you actually meet the man in person before you can claim relationship status.
Expect too much and you get a LOT of nothing.
