SubLizsive -> Why hello thar! (9/9/2012 11:39:08 PM)

Well, here I am. Obviously, I'm new here and still kind of surprised I found the guts to join. I'll start with some basics:

I like my username, I'm not going to lie, I think it's kind of cool. Do you know how hard it is to find a not-used username that's interesting with the word 'Liz'? Pretty damn hard. I turn 25 this November. My fiance just broke up with me about three weeks ago, we would've hit our 8th anniversary this October. Surprisingly, I'm not really mad with him and he & I are trying to remain good friends (so far it's working). However, he was my first everything and we discovered together what kind of lifestyle we were into. Now my Sir is gone, possibly already talking to someone new and I'm feeling a little lost. I never bothered to find a lifestyle community because he and I were figuring it out together, and that worked. But now? I have no idea how this works or what I'm even supposed to do next. I've got this lingering fear that if I ever did meet someone the minute they find out what I'm into it'll all be downhill from there. And really, how do you even bring that up? 'Hey, I'm Liz and also, did you bring a paddle? I left mine at home.' Yeah, not so much.

As for what I'm looking for: I'm hoping to just meet like-minded people. I'm very out-going online but not so much in person, I'm hoping to change that. Eight years is a long time and right now my focus is on meeting people, making friends, and having interesting, fun and thoughtful discussions. And hey, if I meet someone, we'll see where that goes. I hope to get involved in some discussions here, ask some questions and generally lurk around but if anyone has recommendations for other sites and forums that are worth joining and meeting people, I'd love to hear it. I found a few but honestly? The black & red layouts were really starting to get a bit cheesy and hurt my eyes.

So, there's that! I look forward to meeting you all :)

Welcome to the chat forums SubLizsive! :)

Living in NYC there must be all kinds of activities happening there. Have you considered a munch? There will be others along shortly, I'm sure, who could offer better suggestions. Of course ask!

Sorry to hear about you and the ex, but at least it's amicable and you're young...lots of fish in da sea! ;)

You should get involved with the TNG group in your area.  It's for those under 35 to meet others close to their age.  Fetlife might make it easier for you to find the groups near to you. 

Welcome to Collarme.  It's a good place to read and ask questions.

Great introduction,
Welcome and enjoy the forum.




SubLizsive -> RE: Why hello thar! (9/10/2012 12:10:01 AM)

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

DeviantlyD - Oh now this is just sad, I don't even know what a 'munch' is! You're right, there's loads to do here in NYC but that just makes narrowing down the search all the more difficult. Needle in a haystack, dude. It's quick to get overwhelmed (at least for me) since I don't even know where to start. But hey, that's what Google was invented for right? Thanks! :)

Peppermint - Oh man, I'm going to have to make a list of vocabulary words now, aren't I? No idea what TNG means. (Well, for me it means 'The Next Generation' but somehow I don't think that's quite what you meant. ;P ) Fetlife, huh? I'll check that one out, thanks!

Aries - Thanks! :)

Munch = a non-kinky gathering of kinksters/those-into-BDSM to allow new people the area to meet in a casual setting. It's basically like meeting a big group of friends, usually in a place where people will eat drink (non-alcohol) and be merry! :D The ones I've been to have always been during the day. The first one was at a park, and it was a pot luck event. Others I've attended have been at a shopping mall food court. Another was at a restaurant. It's all low key and, as I've mentioned, not kinky as it's in a public place.

TNG = "the next generation". But it refers to those kinky folk who are typically 30 and under that get together since many "in the community" are quite often older. So a TNG group allows you to meet those of your age group.
