I'm stumped and hoping your wisdom can help me through this....
How can I keep a D interested and not grow bored with me before we finally get to meet?    I seem to to do fine 2-3 weeks in and then it just dies off....  I'm beginning to think I have an expiration date or something.

What's your schedule for meeting?  I'm fine with getting to know someone and all, but if it takes 2-3 weeks and we haven't met, I'll wonder why.

If it's that you work four jobs and have six kids at home, I'll be understanding.  If it's just that you're timid, I'll be less understanding.

Please keep in mind that there are some subs I've talked with that evidently never had any intention of meeting.  They liked to talk with me and kept me on a string.  So I'm jaded.

I tend to want to chat to someone for at least 3 weeks before I decide whether there's enough there to want to meet. Part of the reason for this is that the guys I've met within days or a week or two are the ones who are just looking for a quickie NSA shag. If they're prepared to put the effort in for a few weeks, then it's a chance to get to know each other and to show that they're actually serious about it.

The ones who lose interest within a few weeks are the ones, IMO, that aren't right for me.

Thanks... we're scheduled to meet within the next few weeks, because of our work/family schedules that works best for the two of us.  Actually, we'd be meeting within a month of exchanging mails.

I wouldn't assume it's boredom.
If they're looking for a quickie they
fall off the radar fast.
I understand what Steven is saying though.
They are people who string others along.
Sometimes knowing full well they are never
going to meet face to face for whatever
reason or they just chicken out.
You have to strike a happy medium
between to soon and this is beginning to
feel like a time waster.
A couple of weeks messaging and a phone
call or two seems reasonable to me
but it's a individual thing.

I agree with myotherself. When that happens, I figure that person wasn't for me. And meeting is only half the story really; I met a guy from here recently and had a nice afternoon, but things happened afterward that let me know that we weren't a good fit.

It's just a fact that we don't all hold each other's interest. Even if you talk to people in a platonic sense, you aren't going to be successful with everyone, especially if you have different motives. Say you want to make friends, but the other person isn't interested. Or you want a relationship and the other person wants quick or casual. If you aren't quick, you'll lose that person, but that may be for the best, as far as your goals are concerned.

I'm not actually sold on the fact that you're meeting people that are good matches for you. 3 weeks to a month is a good while to wait to meet, and it wouldn't be easy for me to accept, but if I were interested it wouldn't be a deal breaker. So if they don't end up waiting to meet you, then I wonder if their interest is really that strong...or if like Myotherself brought up, the guys not sticking around were looking for a quickie and losing interest after not getting it.

I don't know how to actually advise you how to keep interest strong, because I'm wondering if it was ever there in great quantity to begin with.

If someone is truly interested in you, they want to know more and more about you. They don't get bored in a month. Or at least, that has been my experience.

Tease the fuck out of him.
You keep a mans dangly bits pointy and hard, and you keep his interest.

That's a bit vague, I know. So here's a few tricks sure to make him perk up and pay attention. Or atleast amuse him.
Guys seem to be fairly visual. They like pics.

Dress sexy and go to a restaurant or shopping or somewhere. Take a picture of yourself in the perfectly normal setting, then send it to him.
Go to the bathroom there and take another pic. Send it to him.
Start stripping. As you take each piece of clothing off, take a pic of the clothing you are taking off and send it to him. All the way down to the panties and bra. Try to space the texts out to about 1 minute apart.
Without any kind of naked picture at all, he will be suddenly very aware of you being naked, in a random place.
You can easily tweak this with funny notes, or something sweet like "wish you were here..."

More picture sequence fun!
Take a upper body pic of you smiling, with your shoulders clearly showing you have a shirt on. send it.
Take off your shirt and send a pic of just your shoulders and face, maybe a hint of clevage. I like to make a cute or teasing face for this one.
Text with this photo "Lower?"
If he responds properly(and lets face it, we all know how he will), send him a "lower pic" depending on how much you want to tease, you can still avoid showing him the whole shibang and just show an inch or two lower with the same "lower?" attached.
If he doesn't respond in a timely matter... no picture for him!
If you are shy about sending pics you can be identified from, the ones that show your boobs can be sans face.

ETA hmmm now I want to start a how to keep long distance fun thread.

Absolutely.  Putting the two of them together could lead to some embarrassment years later when you're running for the Senate.

Excellent advice, my dear. Men love, need, and appreciate being frequently stimulated in such (and other) ways. The art of luring, is a skill from which all of us can benefit. A good, little tease and taunt can go a long way! It's also easy to do with words, which are more powerful than most realize, but not everybody's into words.

While I generally believe that people who get bored tend to be boring, it never hurts to learn how after you "hook" your person (and I don't mean that in any negative, manipulative way), it is useful (and fun!) to know how to reel them in and out, as appropriate, to keep them stimulated and on the line, and the relationship healthy. Such stimulation need not always be only of a sexual nature, but it sure doesn't hurt to throw that in regularly.

People also need to know they're important, desired and needed. Invest your interest and energy in him. Educate yourself and become proficient in whatever interests, or is important to him, be it hobby, sport, movies, books, topics, etc. If he mentions there's something he's curious about, research it and offer him what you've found, showing you care and want to help him. Ask him for his opinion/guidance and/or help on issues/events that come up for you. Find out what kind of food he likes, research for the best recipes, and tell him you'd love to cook these things for me, unless of course, he wants you to use his mother's recipe. If you're going to meet him at his home, come prepared with you recipe and foods, and be prepared to cook! Ask him what you can do to please or help him.

Always point out his positive strengths and goodness, but do it honestly. Never try to fake it. Tell him what you appreciate about him. A little praise goes a long way. When you do write or speak, do so gently, respectfully, supportively, and with dignity. Don't overreact to his words or action is you disagree, or they displease you Give yourself time and space, rethink the incident, examine what you may or may not have done to cause it. If you feel he is at cause, ask for an opportunity to discuss it, at a time that is convenient for him. Don't crowd him when he's cranky. If you are wrong about something or think you might be, immediately own it and apologize. Respect, and allow him his opinion, even if it differs from yours.

If you know something about him and his likes/interest, keep an eye out for a little gift of that kind he may like, with which you can present him with upon meeting. It shows you were thinking about him. Same thing with sending urls/pics of interest, before and after you've met. Share his successes.

Don't take things personally, and don't hold a grudge. Clear up anything you don't feel good, or are not sure about by making inquiry.

Be of good patience, humor and wit, and use them all whenever possible.

The short and the long of it is, tune into him as much, or more, than into yourself.

Oh crap, this is starting to sound like a self-help book! Not everyone will agree with what I've put out here, and that's fine, as they are not me, and those who don't agree are welcome to make their own list. Use or toss out any and all I've proffered here.

Go on a lingerie site, and pick a few cute things you want. Next time he is online, ask for his advice on which one you should buy.

And just to show not all of my suggestions involve slutting it up...
Plan activities with him. When you talk find things he does well that you are interested in, or things you do well he is interested in.
Find a place you can do them!
(I know you are trying to turn this dirty. You shall not succeed!!)
For example I like to rock climb, there is a huge rock gym near me. If a guy was coming down to visit me, I would see if he had any interest in trying it out. This would lead to conversation, I would regale him with stories, make a few climbing jokes(perverts. I knew it! You will not drag me down!), and then turn it to what he enjoys doing and let him regale me with his stories, and see what is near him.

Audio messages are awesome if your phone can do them. I have one text saved of my bf laughing hysterically. That's all it is. Him laughing. Yet I still listen to it when I need to smile.
Randomly send your other something sexy in a breathy voice, or sweet, or a joke.

With the risk of looking like I am talking to myself with all these in a row postings....(seriously, I was hoping other people would shove in some teasing ideas I could steal)
One thing that cools off interest a few weeks in if I haven't met them yet, is the introduction or attempted introduction of any kind of dynamic.
I have in weak moments of sub frenzy agreed to talking/being someones sub, and it always precludes about one week more before it fizzles for me and I decide I am no longer interested.
It is as if once you go to the whole Master/slave thing, it makes it harder to have a good conversation about anything else.
The last time it happened, I was talking to the guy for about two weeks, he was great, so many interests in common, we talked about what we wanted out of life, he told me fun medical stories(he was in med school). We talked about boardgames, paintball, all sorts of activities. And then we started talking about BDSM- frenzy kicked in and next thing I knew he wanted me to start calling him Master(since it would be atleast a month before we would have been able to meet) and since I have a hard time saying no to people I like... and hey, I like calling certain men Master ^^... I did.
It was great for about 2 days... when I found out suddenly we didn't talk about anything but the same old M/s stuff. It got stilted. I got bored and disappeared.

Have you been getting into dynamic before you meet the guys?

@tolovetolaugh.... No, not at this point dynamics have NOT really been introduced. We've discussed possibilities of course but nothing has really been put out there in our relationship.

As a matter of fact we talk about so many other things than BDSM. He loves to talk and I love to learn from him, it works well I think but there are times when there's just NO CONNECTION and I think that the shoe is gonna drop and he'll just disappear like the others. I want to try and head this off before it even has the chance to happen.

I do appreciate everyone's contributions to my post.
Thank you...

My suggestion is a bit different: don't get super-involved with someone you haven't met before.

Be your genuine wonderful self. Either it will work or it won't and if either he or you discover incompatibilities that is not a negative against you. It is just that the 2 of you weren't compatible as partners.

I was on CM for 18 months before the man who is my One found me here. I wasn't really looking (and when I was it was in completely opposite directions).

What I have learned in this relationship is that specificity is very important. I am not just owned; I am owned by Him.

To quote other people who post here , do you want to find Mr. Right or do you want to settle for Mr. Right-now.

I learned that the waiting and the journey to get there were more than worth it.
(but your experience may be wholly different...)
