ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep <snip> so yeah, you have to "inconvenience" yourself to leave your house. if getting to know me is an "inconvenience" for someone, then they're probably someone i don't want to know anyway... Exactly. For some reason that statement about not wanting to be inconvenienced by simply leaving his house in order to meet someone just made my skin crawl. Honestly....to ask someone to put aside all of their concerns and come to your home just to meet you for the first flipping time is self absorption to the maximum degree. It's just utterly clueless to even ask for that. It says to me that the person has no idea how to watch out for me, or empathize with me, and there is no freaking way I'd get naked with such a person and let them have free access to me while doing dangerous things. To me, sitting on a stranger's couch and chatting is more danger than I would choose, as I have no idea if I trust that person yet. If someone ever wants to be up close and personal, they'd better let me select my own risk levels in the beginning. Accepting the inherent danger in BDSM is a turn-on for most of us, minimizing that danger as much as you can is imperative. Which is why many of us choose to form a bond with a one or a few select trusted individuals. The biggest thing for me in D/s or BDSM is trust. Form that with me and I'll do whatever the hell you want. I wouldn't even begin to trust someone who couldn't find it within themselves to leave their stupid house in order to meet me. Good God. OP, I've written about this before but here you go...I met my Dom here on CM. We chatted online, then we chatted by phone. After about a week we decided that we would like to meet each other and set up a date. In the past that's simply been having a cup of coffee, for whatever reason I was certain I'd like this particular man very much, and we set up a longer date right at the start. We went to a college basketball game, we walked around in a park for a while first. We liked each other and decided to extend the night by having dinner together. Simple stuff. No playing, no D/s, just two people meeting on equal ground and seeing how well they liked each other. I was left wanting to see him again. After seeing that we both wanted to meet again, after a LOT of discussion we decided to play the next time. It went well. This was in a neutral setting, we went to a hotel. Our progression may be too quick for you, see how things go after you meet someone and how you feel about going forward.
