I am late as always,but I agree, I think you need to take it easy. If you are involved in the local scene, munches, etc, use that to get a feel for things, talk to people. One thing about most scene people, IRL they tend to love to talk to newbies, mentor them, bore the shit out of them with stories (*lol* sorry, couldn't resist that). If you run into D/s couples, ask them how they got together, how did they become what they are, it is really valuable. Among other things,people who go to the munches and such, unless they are newbies, are people who are actually living this stuff in some ways or the other, as opposed to people on the internet who may be lifestyle, or may be some wanker locked behind a computer screen who only knows what they read online or saw in some cheesy movie *shrug*..... Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think the poster in question is more than likely a wanker, I don't know how you met them, how long you have been talking to them, but things like becoming someone's slave or sub doesn't happen quickly, even if it is cyber only, in a sense, the process to me is two way, the sub is earning their way into a relationship but so is the domme. If the guy wanted to know what you are interested in, what you might bring t a relationship, they should say it, but the way this guy worded it sounds pretty clueless to me.....and if this is going to be an IRL thing, well, he is so far from the place of being in the position to ask that question it is staggering.....put it this way, if I was looking for a dominant, and the person started talking collaring, taking me on as their slave, etc, based on online messages, long before we had met or really discussed things, I would make like a rocket and take off........want my advice? If someone is that eager to jump in with both feet quickly, especially with someone who is apparently a newbie, they aren't what they seem. I have known a lot of D/s couples over the many years I have been in and out of the scene, and even the most experienced people tend to take it slow building a relationship. I know of some 'firecracker' relationships that seem to explode (usually with experienced D/s people), most take their time to develop. As a new person, you need to protect yourself from your own eagerness, I suspect a lot of people on here have been there, caught up in the excitement, wanting to push things, but with this stuff, patience really is a virtue, and if someone is genuine, they should be willing to work down the path with you:)
