Collar me is awesome and i love it here but i can't help miss all the great people and the incredibly rich Kink community i left in Texas...i would have put this under "introduce Yourself" but i already have introduced myself so i hope this will be ok here...Thanks everyone for putting up with me. This truly is a caring Community.
..i moved here from Texas and find my old profile is still there so for pictures of me Please look for me as " artglfr". i was the owner of "The Museum of Kink and Erotic Education" a Female friendly Dungeon/ Board and Breakfast where the Waco Kink group" Whips and Chains of Waco", had their Dungeon play parties...W/we had so much Fun...We had the Council Of Tribes do Red Cross training there and a bunch of us got certified, Master David Walker presented some awesome Fire Play , so many other great presenters and presentations,...all the Kinky folk in Austin who visited so many and so much FUN.

Having to close it and move to Arizona really hurt. Going from being an active member of Our Kink Community in Texas to being in Arizona with no one to play with is really lonely. Praying there will be a Lady here that understands and hopefully will enjoy the Journey with me.

i loved the Community in Texas so much i miss everyone there...so many great people and Groups including; WICKD_DFW, Sanctuary ,Council of Tribes and Steves awesome Austin Rope Craft Symposium...He knows how to throw a party and a ROPE.
If i get back to Texas will look everyone up and until then "Wishing all of Y/you the very best.
It is always hard moving to a new Community and i know eventually great things WILL happen here for me but at the moment it is pretty hard making the adjustment.
Thanks for letting me ramble everyone...

There's not really a question here, but I'll add two cents.

I've had to move across the country twice since I first became involved in BDSM. The first time (from CO ot GA) I didn't even get involved with the kink community for quite a while due to a combination of homesickness and culture shock. I did have a boy privately, but it really wasn't the same. After a while, I got kind of fed up with it because My other half had no interest in kink (at the time, that's changed since then) and I wanted to be around like minded people.

Fast forward four years, and I was in the same boat, moving from GA to CA. I didn't make the same mistake twice. I was actually more than ready to make sure that I got to know other people right away. Thanks to some great folks here, I was only in the state three days before I was going to a private party, which was a blast.

Yes, in a sense, when you move to a different kink community, there is a sense of starting over. Folks haven't had a chance to get to know you. It takes a while to build up your reputation again and get regular play partners established. Still, it's worth the effort. Getting involved in the local munch group and volunteering always help with this. It gives you a chance to know people and to give those people a chance to know you. Also, since you do have some experience under your belt, you may be able to be an asset to your new community.

Anyway, good luck. In a few months time, I'm sure you'll feel like you have a new home.

i understand how you feel. i first started going to public play at sanctuary and then moved to agusta ga where i met my Mistress LadyPact. i do miss all the fun of the thriving community both in tx and ga. im in northern nv near reno and it is not very active. and my Mistress is in southern ca so its a long drive to go and see Her i try as often as i can. i miss going to the dungon at least once a month. having a active group to participate with. i am lucky to have a Mistress that i can go and see.

We are the same. We moved from London and the big kink community that we felt very much a part of.
Because of the way we live (on a sailing boat) we don't tend to hang around anywhere for too long and so making friends with new communities feels short lived. What we have found though is people keep in touch and we make the effort too.
My London crowd tend not to use this site but tend to prefer a national site. I go to that site daily just to chat to people I know and care about but who are now some distance away.
CM is much more appropriate for us now simply because it has people on it from all over the world. Some of those people we have met and some we will meet in the future.

I have to admit that I often get homesick for my London scene friends. Just popping round for a coffee or having a night out with the girls isn't really an option very often but I have to nip myself when I feel that way and remind myself that the new friends I am making are great people.
