Let me weigh in with my two cents. What does it mean to be involved in a D/s relationship with some sort of power exchange, only to object to having to comply with a Dominant's request? I agree with what CuriouslySeeking says: you either obey or you don't, there is no half way. His request was not "out of line" as some here have been saying. He wasn't asking her to give over the title to her house or hand over her bank account. Some of you have also been saying that this request was out of line on the first meet: that he had no right to ask anything of her because she was not yet "his". This is also wide of the mark. She does not owe her obedience to just anyone, true. However, he was not just "anyone". She was actively communicating with him as a prospective partner and had reached the point of agreeing to meet him in person. As a prospective partner, why shouldn't he begin asking her to comply with his wishes. Where is the "magic line" where she begins to comply: the first date, the second, the 99th? Now I am not advocating that she is supposed to give up total obedience to someone on the first meet. That would be ridiculous. But it has to start somewhere. I also have to echo those here who have said that she did not communicate her "hard limits" well. Perhaps, Patina, you did not know that going bra-less in public was a hard limit. But once he asked it of you, you should have told him that it was. Once he told you that he would not respect that limit, you should have broken off the relationship. I agree with the others here who have said that to go ahead with the meet and not to comply with his wishes was foolish. I wish you well on your search, Patina. I hope that you have a better experience next time. For those of you who are so quick to castigate this guy, just remember one thing: you are only hearing one side of this story. We do not know what was in his mind nor what he understood of what Patina told him. -DarkDreams
