I believe that things happen when you least expect them to and when it's time for them to. I just looked at your profile and it is weak, it mentions the poly house like that is someplace you are now. Take some time and redo your profile tell about you and what you are looking for and what you are looking for in a Dom. Cover the fact that a child is part of the deal, early in the profile so those of us that don't like kids can pass you by and not waste your time or theirs. There have been many threads on profiles, I suggest that you do a search and review those. Just be sure you also set your expectations and do not think that real life will be like your on-line D/s life.

Status: offline 		Hi Raposa,
the only advice I have would be to put profiles on some different sites.  Join some groups online and chat with people.  But please take your time getting to know someone before you agree to anything involving reat time.  If you don't know of other sites I can give you a few to check out.  You will have to go outside of your area to find someone likely.....I live in a small ontario town and have to go at least half an hour away to munches and even farther for clubs or anything along those lines.  I would also suggest that you state up front in profiles that you are a single parent and that your child is first and foremost in your life and that anyone interested must be prepared for that.  My last bit of advice would be to Be Very Careful.  Don't let anyone talk to you into anything you don't feel comfortable with.  If they don't work at your pace then move on.
You may be submissive and some will try to tell you that means you don't control anything but in truth you control everything until you choose to give up that control to someone you trust with it.  And you can take it back whenever you want to.  You likely know all this already I suppose....lol.  Anywhooo, good luck in your search and feel free to send me a message if you like.
MissA

If this is something you really want, there is no cookie cutter way to find it. It takes time, just like with vanilla relationships. As for being a single parent, just like with vanilla relationships, there will be some Masters that are not looking for a package deal.

That's just life.

However, I would think you'd want someone that does not have an issue or aversion to your parent status.

I will just end by saying, again, that it will take time. If you rush and look hard, you are sure to find the wrong people. Get to know someone as a friend or casual companion, then if it's meant to be, things will develop from there.

Write a list with the characteristics and personality traits you want in your future Master, then decide which ones are negotiable and which ones are not.

It doesn't have to be a rigid list, but at least it will be a guide you can think about if and when someone does come along. In order to find (for lack of a better word) something, you have to know exactly what it is you are looking for.

And while you're doing that... (eagerly points to self) I'm available! I'm not a hologram, so I'm not fake, and I love kids! They're like little people you teach to hate the things you hate!

Edit: Wait...you have a master already, don't you? (sigh) Frick...

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice everyone.  And yes Tabris I have an online Master but he is the one who suggested I look beyond as I live in BC, Canada and he lives in California.  And my little one is not so little he is thirteen, I guess that is part of my nerves. Hmmm...and definatley going to try the list idea thank you theobserver.  I am going to try to clarify my profile more.

Doing D/s in R/T isn't a progression from D/s online. It is something completely different. I think you may want to figure out why you got into online with someone who is too far away to have R/T with, and why you now are looking at D/s in  a different light. To me (and this distinction is more important than would appear, offhand) a computer, and the internet, are wonderful tools to do research, to express myself, and to get to know people I would have otherwise never got to know, but it isn't somehow a substitute tool to build relationships.
