ORIGINAL: BeautifulRacket The title says most of it, but I'll elaborate a bit for clarity. A lot of the (male) subs I've spoken to/met have given me the impression that they expect to get involved physically/sexually rather quickly after meeting in RL, in spite of claiming they want a serious, stable relationship that goes well beyond sexual interaction. There is NOTHING wrong with this, IMO - it just seems there might be some different expectations than I've experienced in the vanilla world. If you're a sub/slave/pickyourlabel looking for a serious, RL, D/s relationship, I'd really like to hear how quickly you generally expect to get physically involved when you find someone you seem to connect well with in person. After one, three or ten dates? (It doesn't have to be exact, I'm just looking for a ballpark from people). It'd also be helpful if you'd specify whether you're male or female, and how long you've been in the lifestyle, as I'd like to see if there are any correlations. You're also more than welcome to share your experiences from the other side/related to this topic, and any theories on why there might be a difference in expectations when the D/s dynamic is present (or perhaps it's due to meeting on a site where we put sexual stuff out there from the start?). [:)] Totally depends on the dynamic and chemisty of the couple I'd think. Some of the guys I dated through the years I never slept with. Some I waited a month or two, some I waited a week or two. With Sir, we started talking online in May, met in June and I broke my standard rule [sm=ofcourse.gif] after spending the afternoon together i agreed to spend the night. Which when you didn't pack for an overnight trip makes things interesting lol.[:D] I don't think there is a set of rules or guidelines that is followed or should be followed. Everyone needs to do what they feel is right at the time. I have a tendancy to remain distant or do not become emotionally involved with people for a long while. When I met Sir it was totally different. I can't say why, it just was, and it just felt right to proceed the way we did. I think by meeting on this site, it took away all that awkward " How do I tell the other person what I'm into" phase that happens alot in dating. By wanting a stable, rl, relationship you do have to make an effort to get to know all the sides of your partner not just the kink sides, but you can't play all the time so you use that time to talk and learn and discouver things about your partner. You have to be compatable in more then just a sexual aspect.
