ORIGINAL: mistressk Well it depends how you define attraction. Enjoy the look of, or being around? Fine by me. My definition in this scenario is - 'attracted and thinks they can convince me I will date them' not so fine. Or nice for them. So you're defining attracted as 'attracted and x,y,z that don't necessarily follow on from attraction' - can you see how that's not a great definition? Words have meanings, and it's not great for discussion if you randomly add bits onto them without mentioning it. Also, lesbians are just as capable of fancying someone without acting on it as anyone else. You might not want to be friends/involved in a nonsexual capacity with someone you're attracted to, but you're condescending to tell this theoretical person that they don't want that either, and that sets my teeth on edge. quote:
That's not a mean place to put a person in? What's 'mean' is not treating them like an adult and allowing them to make the decision themselves. That makes sense. It's probably a holdover from growing up around a lot of males. The only term I can think of is 'cock tease' or leading on. That's what I am wanting to avoid. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or break hearts. Hypothetical though it is at the moment.

Yeah that's not the intended message. In 'vanilla' dating sites and experiences, "just friends" seems to always leave the guy wondering why nothing romantic develops. Not so much in my personal experience, but guys I've met, dated or not, and talked to. I keep hearing, reading, experiencing that BDSM should be treated the same as any other relationship. So I transferred"just friends" from the vanilla dating world over to 'just slaves'. Maybe it's not the same. What I've said to people before is just that I am not really looking for a romantic relationshp style of slavery. Would that statement be adequate? -K
