It is a delicate balance, because Dominants must demonstrate you are safe with them, yet having your stated boundaries pressed can bring you closer. There is a good kind of fear and a bad kind, and even amateurs can tell the difference. If your trust in your partner overcomes your inhibitions, it's a good sign. If you ever doubt that the Dominant has your best interests in mind, or see lapses in self-control, it's a bad sign. I'd run away screaming from anyone who expected instant obedience or treated me as anything other than an equal. If I were looking for a Dominant, I would first make sure I was OK on my own. Not necessarily stellar, but OK. Then I would spend lots of time getting to know what I think I like, and putting as much of that on my profile as I felt comfortable with. In any relationship, not just a D/s one, it will matter more in the end if you both love Chaucer than paddles, so don't get hung up on the sex tabs. It's OK to not know or be curious, cause everything you think you want or don't want can change once you're trying it anyhow. If I found someone who piqued my interest, I'd go on some totally vanilla dates and see if I felt naturally compelled to submit. I would let it grow rather than pushing anything. If I felt violated or disrespected, or doubted his confidence or sincerity, I'd probably move on. On the other hand... I'd let myself get excited and nervous and obsess over my hair and clothes and shoes. I'd go to work and smell his cologne where it rubbed off on my neck. And if I found myself on pins and needles waiting for his call, or couldn't focus on anything but him...I'd enjoy the tumble into deep love even though it might break my heart. (It's been broken a lot but it just keeps getting bigger!) Good luck--I think it's ok to trust instinct, with a healthy dose of education and common sense. Actually it's not that common, for some reason.
