Another submissive's point of view: If I am in communication with someone I'm interested in - I am looking forward to contact from him, and I will return any calls promptly. If I'm not interested...I'll try to communicate that, but sometimes people are persistent. Then, I will generally just not make myselves available (ie, not return calls) Few notes, to the OP - - THREE cancelled dates??????????????????????????? - she "FELL ASLEEP AT A FRIEND'S"??????????????? (very interesting) - I work 2 FT jobs, and run a non-profit org...I also have pets and friends. If I'm interested in someone and they call, you bet I can find the time to call back. Usually by the end of the day. ANYONE can find 5 minutes, even if it's while driving, eating, before bed, whatever. - myself - if someone tolerated even half of this from me, I'd not take them seriously as a Dominant, and I'd lose respect for them as a person. - "I'm bad at calling people back" - ???? Hello??? I agree with whoever said that that's an excuse for rude behavior. I'm surprised anyone who sees themselves as a Dominant would tolerate it. It sounds like you're making excuses for her. I think you know what's going on but don't want to accept it. I see someone who's either lying, leading you on for the attention, or who doesn't just have the backbone to tell you she's not interested. Either way, someone who is not nearly as into you as you are her. Lastly - you aren't her Dom, and can't really make rules like that. Plus from her past behavior I doubt she'll take them seriously; it doesn't sound like she takes you seriously. Even if you just preface it with "If you wish for us to get together again, this is what I require from you" that might work, but the daily calling - not cool. I wouldn't agree to that unless there were some level of commitment there. To me, it looks like you were being walked over, realized it, and are trying too hard to go the other way....the best way to punish a submissive IMO (and for you to regain face here) is to withdraw attention. You'd probably have more of an effect if you said "I expected a return call", ask why you didn't get it, then end the call and let her stew for a few days before next contact. Bottom line - I see waaaay too many signs that she's not into him - not a monster, just not interested. My thoughts - accept that if she was into you before, it sure don't like like she is now...and you've not handled it suitably...learn, smack yourself a reminder that there are LOADS of other gorgeous and compatable women, let this one go and don't look back. (and yes including if she does respond favourably to the rules - which I somehow doubt will happen.) fire
