ORIGINAL: windchymes I guess I have the wrong approach. If I choose to travel to "check out" a potential Dom/partner, I prefer to handle my own finances, and always have. Dito, I also funded my trips to potential Doms myself and also prefer to handle my own financial afairs. Being Sub doesn't mean being "in the need" of being looked after or being unable to manage my own life. My current involvement would pay parts of my trips to meet him in the future, but that's because he moved damn far away now for the next while as he took on a good job offer and he knows that I have some limitations financially as a student in expensive England and he earns very well. However, IF we continue the road we are going now since almost a year and get together properly, then I would pay my relocation to him entirely on my own. After being now on CM since almost two years I made the conclusion for me by now that either it works out with him (as he would be perfect for me personality wise) or I will look again once I moved on my own to New Zealand. I am personally simply tired of certain online mind-games and have no interest of the risk of potential more crap coming out of here. So either my current involvement and I work out or not, but I don't do any dating oversea anymore apart from my current involvement. Also last but not least I would not be interested to relocate a person who needs my money to do so because it does help if the person is able to manage herself e.g. when difficult times might arise. Whilst independent relocation might not be an indication about the personality from one person for some people, for me it is. Because if the person does not manage it him-/herself to get the money together for the flight, how well will the person do if I would ever be dependent on him or her e.g. during ill health. For me it simply indicates a level of independence and the ability of using initiative for something a person really wants to do and if that independence or initiative is not there to get the money together...well, how much interest does this person then really have for that lifestyle and to get to me?! Also regarding sunnyfeys statement quote:
either way he would not have lost money, besides a service fee for refunding a ticket. I was once involved with a guy and we had agreed to meet...however after three weeks, just before the meeting would have been due he changed his mind and I lost 150 dollar cancellation fee....whilst this might not be much money for some people, I was pissed off about it but at least on the other hand he did proof straight away, that he is not worth my service. He cancelled as he had changed his mind and decided to go ahead with someone else...well, that one did not work out at the end and he tried to meet again, offering that he comes over this time as I said that I won't waste any penny for him anymore...but thinking about it later and considering even worse factors such as that he tried to justify his actions with trying to blame me for no fucking reason and of course couldn't be bothered to apologise on top of it, I decided nope, not going to happen to waste any more time with him...I declined...it simply did show to me that he was not trustworthy and I would not feel safe to be under his power when I would meet him. He had his chance and he blew it, it was his decision to blew it (and my luck!)
