So back to the original question at hand in the OP. If you're considering someone to be *your* sub/slave/whatever, I'll assume you've already done all the 'getting to know you' stuff. Otherwise you've no business even having the discussion. The advice you got about asking the same questions you'd ask of someone you were dating defintely apply. Becuase no matter how much people like to romanticize & fantasize over it, a D/s based relationship still is only just that - a relationship - albeit with some added variables. As far as getting to understand the BDSM side of them, I prefer to ask 'how' and 'why' questions, not 'what' questions. Rather than do you like this, would you do this, etc., which are all closed end questions which can be answered briefly and often without much thought, and therefore, little revelation, I like open end ones. Were such and such to come up, how would you make a decision about it? You said 'yes' when I asked if you liked ___; why do you like that, what interests you about it?
