"Is it that the pressure is off when a Dom flirts with them? " I admit, there is some validity to the pressure idea, but for me, sub or Dom doesn't matter - distance does, respect does, etc. I am absolutely the crazy magnet - if someone in the room is crazy or weird or just pushy and rude, I'm the one they almost immediately graviate to. Most of the people that think they are trying to flirt with me are really just testing the waters to get something, in an unsulbtle way, and there really is a difference. The majority of men that make contact are completely ignoring the fact that I have someone, which disrespects him, (like one guy who walked right up to us when we were sitting together on a date and started talking to me and actually tried to sit down next to me - extreme example, but pretty much a perfect example of the mindset.) It seems that most of the time, I can't even be polite to someone anymore without their taking it as an excuse to be pushy and start listing what they want. Saying 'thank you' to a compliment isn't even safe anymore, so... if I don't use a sledgehammer and beat them with a cold harsh response, it is an invitation to lots of hassles. If someone is local, I often don't feel safe to even respond to a hello unless DB is standing right there and I can say "and THIS is MY MAN!" Hell, sometimes that doens't even get the hint across. Heh... I spend more time pushing how great he is than anything else, when I first meet anyone that is potentially expressing interest. I guess that's the answer for me - it's not a sub or Dom thing. It's just not safe to flirt at all unless the person is WAY too far away to be a concern, or that they immedially acknowledge my prior commitment and respect it without my having to make an issue of it. Needless to say, I'm often found by men to be very chilly via email, and hair trigger tempered in person.
