submindfw -> RE: what do you do when a dom wants $ (6/10/2006 9:32:26 PM)

i've gone done this road a few times over the years. The first time, i was suckered and out $100. That was probably 8 years ago. For a pro-domme, i can certainly understand wanting a deposit. Since you would be paying for the service anyway, putting a deposit down doesn't seem that outlandish. Since i am not into financial domination (willing to pay for toys and give gifts but not just cash), i would NEVER send money to someone just to prove i am 'real.' i am a very generous person, but i'm not going to just give money to someone i have never met. i usually offer an alternative. A Domme i met several years ago did this: Rather than request a cash 'tribute,' she had me send her flowers. She didn't tell me how much to spend, but basically said that what i sent would give Her an impression of me. i sent her something nice, but not over the top and it worked out fine. Now granted, this required Her to send me Her home address, but there are probably other ways around that (i think one of the flower sites actually allows you to purchase them, then send a note to an email address for the recipient and then the recipient provides the address). Anyway, it worked out great doing it like that (though the relationship did not unfortunately). i did something i like to do anyway (give flowers) and it showed Her that i was serious.
