It seems to me what you are describing is a person meeting a person and I'm not sure "rules" would ever be appropriate or necessary. You will want to take normal safety precautions for yourself.

I'm curious about the thread title, "sub proving herself." What did you mean by that?

First meetings are best when you meet as people instead of as roles, imo... lol though that is not to say I have not changed my mind when the man walks into my eyesight..

Status: offline 		Well, I generally wouldn't consider a relationship official between two people who haven't met yet, and since neither of you can't know for sure that the other person isn't a creep/predator/liar/scammer/etc, I believe in discussing what each of you are okay with and not okay with, and basic safety precautions. Before you get really serious about each other is a good time to talk about things like your expectations and desires of each other. Leave the "no limits" stuff until after trust is established.

I think it's perfectly acceptable that she tell you what her limits are, and wouldn't worry if this is the case (if she's not okay with an activity, and you DEMAND it well, tough shit- look for someone who likes it, or give up on that activity with her), but it depends what kind of rules that she wants to set up- personal boundaries or an attempt to control you.

There are people more hardcore than I am who say she must have NO LIMITS (or pretty it up and say that not wanting to do something is topping from the bottom), but I think that's a dangerous stance, especially with new relationships.

I did not have any rules on that first meet from him eithe. Ir dressed in jeans and a sweater like i always do in the winter. We saved rules and exepecations until we met and decided we wanted to see where this would go.

Ok, from your thread title to your post, they are different. Unless you meant is it common for a dominant to give rules to the sub on the first meet. In either case, as others have said, aside from rules regarding safety issues, neither should be asking the other to "prove" anything on a first meet except for their actual existance and interest. In my opinion, someone looking to take control before there has even been an official "nice to meet you" is overstepping. I feel the same way about the profiles that ask subs to "apply" for the right to serve. WTF? I think both parties need to "prove" they are deserving of the other.

The bottom line is that if you aren't comfortable with rules being given to you, say so. You may have had great chemistry chatting via email or on the phone, but until you meet that person, you really don't know how things will go.

Your question makes no sense to me.  In viewing your profile and reading your journal entries, I found this little tidbit from today... "Most subs will allow theirs doms rule. I want what I want and no isnt in the vocabulary"
 
This has me wondering if the sub you mention in your op is someone you've met or someone you're involved with. Like others have said, first meet is to see if there's real interest and common sense should be the rule for both of you.
Of course, I've found common sense isn't so very common with lots of people.

So don't ask her to be naked and blindfolded in a hotel room unless you want to be stood up.

Status: offline 		I don't consider someone "my dom" on a first meet. At that point they're just an ordinary person like anyone else and yeah...I have preferences, I have morals and values you must have as well for me to be interested in you. If someone considers those rules then so be it. It matters not to me.

Now once I'm actually in a relationship with a man then no I don't have "rules" for him because I hope that I've taken my time and I've chosen well who I want to be in my life.

As you can tell from the answers, your question was confusing. We can't tell if you are asking "Is it normal for a dominant to impose rules on a sub at first meeting" or "Is it normal for a sub to express his or her limits at a first meeting".

Normally, I'd expect a first meeting to be pretty darn vanilla. It should be a time to learn a little about one another. I would not expect any kind of play at a first meeting, and probably not for a few meetings.

Now, I would not find it unusual for a dominant to discuss with you the kinds of rules they'd expect to have if the relationship moves forward, or a discussion of each of your limits and boundaries. This is part of finding out "what am I getting into".

I think maybe you're more referring to boundaries and/or limits.

Define "common". Then tell us what you would do with this information, if it existed. Then tell us what you gain by asking one line questions that will be answered in 16,345 different ways, none of which probably are relevant to whatever it is you are wondering about (if anythong).

There may be "I'll be in an orange sweater" so you know who you're looking for and if you want to call that a rule okay, but that's it.

Status: offline 		In the first meet, is it "her dom" or is it a guy she's meeting who might become her dom?

I think the first is a bit idiotic (granted it's worked for some but as I've often said - just because it works for someone doesn't make it a good idea). As for the second... I have "rules" that I expect any potential to follow. They gotta be polite, friendly, and having bathed is always a plus.

Then we can see about them being my *insert term here*.

If it's a first meet, he's not her Dom.
