ORIGINAL: MzMia I would like to get some comments from the BDSM population here at CM, so here goes. I am meeting someone from CollarMe, soon! [:D] A potential submissive if all goes right. We have exchanged photo's, been chatting basically everyday online, telephone, and emails for almost 3 months. He lives about a 13 hour drive from me. We are planning to meet over the Christmas holidays. I am planning to fly to meet him on a fairly inexpensive flight, since he lives near a major city, so that is not a problem. I don't want to stay at his place, so I am planning on staying in a hotel. He has been joking about sleeping on the floor and I was talking about separate beds. After giving this more thought, I am now thinking we need separate rooms. This is after all, our very first face to face meet. It is going to cost both of us more than I would like, but deep down I think it is the right thing. Both of us have our own place, but again I feel more comfortable about it going this way. Question. When you meet someone for the first time, and you live a considerable distance from each other,where do you stay? I know all about "safe calls" and that could be an option, but I am talking about getting to know someone in person well, prior to playing, when distance IS an issue, and you won't be in a position to see each other every weekend. Being 12-13 hours away, I doubt we will ever see each other every weekend, unless one of us moves. That would be something to think about a LONG time from now. We are hoping if all works out, in the future seeing each other at least once a month. And the NEXT visit would be in the same room.[;)] Deep down, part of me wants to know how many of you sluts meet and play on the first meet!!! [:D][:D] I've had several submissives come and visit me...3 of them I was developing relationships with and the first meet seemed to seal the deal. In each of those relationships, the length of the dynamic ranged from 1 yr, 3 mos to 2 3/4 years. There were also a few who came to see me in which a relationship other than "casual" playpartners/friends was not sought by either of us. I played with each of them on that first meet but we'd been talking for quite awhile before that meeting took place. The time range varied from 3 mos. - 6 mos. of talking beforehand. As has been said, you have to go with what feels right. I never coerced them into playing with me and they certainly did not force me to play/sleep with them. I may have been extremely lucky or smart or a combination of both but I've only had one meeting/beat/sleep end badly and I've detailed that on here before. I've stated on here that I am a firm believer that a long-distance relationship is possible...with time and attention from both parties, with a commitment to overcoming the difficulties inherent in such a relationship from both parties, and a desire to truly give it a chance. That belief has been shaken up a bit from time to time but I always remember that one of them came to live with me and was here until I sent her home and another moved herself and her husband here to be near me so I do know that it can be done.
