I think that 15 or more years ago, when I was a new widow who had just discovered a whole world where people admitted they liked the things I liked, a year of online play gave me time to sort outthe language and figure out who and what I was and what I wanted. For instance, I am a very service oriented slave, very much a good girl - but my first profile said something like that I was 'untamable', because I thought that was what would be wanted in this world. I would rather have learned to express who I really was BEFORE moving on to meeting people real time. It also gave me time to discover the meetings avialable to me, before I ever went to meet a person. It taught me safety rules and other things newbies should know before meeting someone. So, in the end, I went to meetups, such as munches, before coffee with a single guy. And by the time I was thinking about meeting someone for coffee, I knew to not respond to the ones who told me when and where and what to wear and call me Master before he knew me. All in all, it was a safe place to learn.
