Welcome to CM! Sounds as if you have your heads on straight and being cautiously optimistic, good idea! Hope this is a genuine Dom you have found, but if it proves otherwise, don't give up. Attending a local munch is a great start, and it's easier to assess people's veracity in 'meatlife'. Going to a party (once invited - attending munches gets you known and on the invite list), is a great way of observing play and finding people you might connect with, you don't have to play yourself straight off if you don't want to! Just make sure you know the party protocols ahead of time, introduce yourself to the hosts, and they will likely keep an eye out for you and point out the Dungeon Monitors (DMs) etc. Rule #1 at any party is to stand back away from equipment including the backswings of floggers ... and rule #2 is not to disrupt a scene by movement, loud talk, laughter or screams of sympathy! And give players a bit of space after, even if you are dying to ask a question, wait till they are all packed up and moving away ... most parties have a supper area, accost them there! Call that rule #3 LOL ... and with those 3, that will get you through most parties! All the best Maam Jay aka violet[A]
