umm..I wanted to address why one of us slave-like people might not respond immediately...or have to leave in the middle of a conversation...or just simply stop talking to you, at least temporarily. I've been on this site for hmm..3 days? The first day I had more than 300 msgs. The second, even more. Now I'm not looking at it. I'm probably being rude to a lot of people, but I'm not sure what else to do - it'll take me a week or so to actually just get through yesterday's mail and do it justice...and if I get distracted in the meantime, a truly spectacular msg comes in...welllll......even though I don't want to be impolite, I'm here for a reason. Well, three reasons. To re-aquaint myself with like minds, to learn and grow. To make a friend or two, with other slaves. And maybe to find what I need, or be found. And if I feel that there's some serious potential with someone...and he reaches out...I may feel compelled to reach back. Even if I've already reached out to you. He's reaching further, that's why. I found after answering a few, that I was "weeding"...which is annoying. But, there's a lot of decent ones too and for myself, I can say that if you're coming across "fakes", well, I'm unsure of what that means to you, but what it means to me is simply that these individuals aren't my cuppa tea, so to speak. It's possible that the girl began speaking with you, and if she had a child or family obligations, a phone call, the doorbell rang...whoooo knows....it took her away from her computer. If you're like me, and you do NOT live your life on a computer (imagine a slave who did - talk about needing to be retrained!) it's sooo easy to be distracted back into your real life. It's not an intentional slight, it's more like how you're originally wired. Some people are less technologically-inclined. There's a reason I like phones, and swiftly will take a meaningful conversation offline if I feel it's worthwhile, and I'm given the opportunity. I'm not saying it's not rude of her, she should at least say something...but giving people the benefit of the doubt, within reason, is usually a good idea, in my experience. I had some NASTY msgs yesterday, from men who were madder than mad that I hadn't answered them yet and they saw I was online apparently. I have two monitors, and unbeknownst to me, I had somehow opened two sites - both collarme - one for reading here on the boards, one for looking at all the messages. (which is fun btw - some of these people are quite hilarious). NASTY messages, I tell you...informing me I was this fake person, how dare I, how this was my last chance, etc etc. I was like...what the heck??? I shut it off last night....and then I turned on the other monitor, and went sheeeesh..... Fetlife is so much easier in that sense lol - no online monitoring! Really saves on the nasty messages :P Anyways, that was just to share with you some of the glitches that can happen, just because it says someone is *here*...maybe they're not. I was dreaming of canes at the time, personally... ~~ Another thing that may have happened is that she was approached by someone without a wife/submissive/slave. Let's face it, poly has a lousy success rate in north america. Also, do you have ANY idea how competitive women are? It's not my first choice to walk into a situation where they're all comfy-cosy and I'm on the outside. It's intimidating, it's more than frightening (because if his love, commitment and history he has for/with her trumps his to you, which is typically would, if there's any problems.. you lose all - they lose nothing, they still have each other), it's potentially very hurtful and frankly, the investment may not be worth it. Having said all that...if it works...it can be beautiful, truly, and I have huge respect for poly families. And you seem like a nice guy, so maybe you'll find someone to join your family. I hope everyone finds what makes them intimately happy. ~~~~ When it comes to training...umm, as ridiculously long as my profile is, I'm thinking that I didn't put anything about training in it. Not because I haven't been trained - I have been. Thoroughly. But I'm unsure as to how that would be relevant, because I'm thinking that each relationships is new, each person different, therefore what he wants from ME might be different too. I'm not so sure that I should retain the arrogance of believing that because someone took the time to 'train' me, that that would automatically apply to another as well. I think I might be more inclined to say something like "I watch closely, and look to please you." Meaning I might not succeed...but gosh I'll try.
