I think there has been some good advice stated above about going forward. Not having been there, nor being intimately knowledgeable about each of your default perceptions, I tend to view things from an optimistic perception. Re: Playing when you said you wouldn't - Been there, done that. I like to set an expectation so neither of us feels any pressure. If I change my mind, it's an indication that I'm interested. After all, it's my prerogative to change my mind. After an extended amount of time, you both have more knowledge of the other than you did in the beginning. Perspectives change with increased knowledge/energetic input. Re: Him kissing your feet - See above. I think a BDSM relationship is formed by the people involved. As a Dominant, sometimes I like to drive, sometimes I like to be chauffeured. I like a proactive submissive and yes, I enjoy being seduced. Re: His idea that penetrative sex is not submissive. I can understand his *limited* knowledge. I'm sure you can show him ways in which his actions will be choreographed by Your Direction. I mean, after you get done explaining to him that he has to ask permission to *enter*, and can't cum until he also get's explicit permission, he'll begin to understand. All it takes is a few times of denying him or making him beg for either, and the thinking changes. Re: Talking about is previous relationship - Of course, that's his point of reference. Of the advice given above, I'm not as much in favor of 'telling him' how you are unique, that he'll stop talking about his ex, that this is a new and different relationship, etc..........I favor leading by example and *showing him*. He may have *some* experience, but he feels to me like a teenager - that he knows enough to think he knows a lot. Smile and steer him in a different direction in a calm and confident manner. If he's smart, he'll figure it out. If he's not, well than, you re-evaluate if he's really a keeper. Re: Mis-match of fetishes - I think this will play out over time. I've had requests and it's not my thing either. However, there have been other activities that weren't My thing, but after I got involved with someone and I saw how I could use it to control and effect them, I expanded My horizons. Each dynamic is unique and part of what we get out of an activity is the reaction/result from the other person. With one person I LOVED CBT - BECAUSE of HIS Reaction! Yes, his idea might not be yours, but that's ok. Dominants have limits too. Leave the door open and see what might happen down the road. Your horizons might get expanded in your evolution of a close, loving D/s relationship. Re: Him saying he felt safe and would do anything for you. You found a big trigger of his...you go girl! I don't know about anyone else, but I've been in situations where everything just felt right, and in that moment in time, I indeed felt completely open and accessible to my partner. If you just sat down for dinner having never met in person, and he stated this out of the blue, I'd be concerned. The fact that you'd be interacting for a good long while, and you moved into a Dominant physical position, generating such a response, I'd say is a good sign of his potential. Only further exploration will determine if was a one-time thing, if he's really responsive to you in particular, or he's just easy. Don't let it worry you too much right now. Some people have boundary (not knowing how to set) issues, so just be watchful and learn about him. Now I'll go back and read others' thoughts. Keep us posted!
