ORIGINAL: gypsygrl Call it what you will, but I'm not a romantic, and I've never desired a D/s relationship that involved love. Concern, care, structure, discipline, the sense of distance and even indifference, are all things that attract me to whatever it is we do. I was involved in a long term relationship that floundered precisely because he, the Dominant, wanted to be my lover and my best friend. It just doesn't work for me. And, yes, I agree with Frank01 that there's an element of 'bait and switch' when the Dominant falls in love. And, in all honesty, I don't know if I can or want to fall in love. Its not what I'm looking for. I use a vocabulary of attachment and bonding rather than love. Basically, I think of myself as a barnacle and the Dominant a ship. :) I get people terribly upset when I tell them that I am basically aromatic. They simply cannot understand a person not wanting to have some gooey love attachment in a relationship. I've stopped trying to justify how I am, I simply am wired that way. I have a sense of valuation in it's place- how much someone can bring to the table and help with a mutual enhancement of our quality of life. And the more someone can offer, and do-the more that sense of value increases. So I guess that you might say that my relationships are based on performance-rather than emotion. Which is why I am big on things of merit being EARNED-rather than being given away willy nilly from emotion........if a girl has something of value from me-she will damned well know she deserves it.
