i think a good many of us (male/female; kink/'nilla) have at least one experience with the disappearing potential partner, or even a "solid partner" (my [ex]husband of 27 years comes to mind..lol). i've learned to be careful, not to invest too much of myself, give up too much control or trust too soon (i hope). i also ask a ton of questions..among them, what happened to your last relationship. i've broken off writing to several "simply" because they shared how they had just walked away from a relationship they no longer wanted, one or two actually laughing about how foolish those women were, and how desperate. However, unlike them, i did write, explaining my reasons, and then that was it. Once or twice the potential would write back in protest, how they'd "never" to that "to me," yada, yada, yada. i find it difficult to write those letters -- it's not in my nature to hurt anyone, no matter what, but i now think of it as self-protection. i figure i deserve better, as do 99% of the people here (CM/on-line/face to face, etc.). Good luck..and cheers jimini
