ORIGINAL: feylin What an absolutely lovely experience. Thank you for sharing the events and your feelings. I also become extremely nervous when meeting someone -- I suppose everyone has some level of nerves for a first meeting? I'm not the nervious type but as I said, I knew she WAS feeling the nerves. Hence IMO it was my responcibility to help her over those nerves. It doesn't take much extra effort to get there a little early and exchange a few texts as she journeys in on the train, but I've found it often helps..... and next time she meets me she won't be as nervious quote:
Your description, though, is a perfect example of how a first meeting should go...at least, in my opinion. (It is perfect for my level of comfort.) For me, your being there early, having a destination in mind where you could be comfortable and get to know one another better all shows confidence and caring. That is something you can project online but is truly proven by actions. SSC is for the best for the first meeting, even if there is the temptation to rush headlong into things. Until things are varified in real life, things said on the net (Boards, mail, IM) are simply words and maybe not what they seem. My intuition is reasonably good, but far better in RL and I'm glad to say that the young lady I met was everything I thought she was. quote:
I asked a Dominant once how he expected our first meeting to go. He wrote that after I begged his collar he would ride me like a pony into the bedroom for, at the very least, oral sex. I did not even stutter on a keystroke as I wrote back, "Good to know." <grins> They were such normal conversations up to that point. <laughs> Tragically, we lost touch. The phrase 'lucky escape' comes to mind... fine if it is in jest and clearly ment as such, but once you are making plans for the real McCoy then IMO the Dom has a responcibility to ensure things are done safely (Safe for the sub, not just themself). Public place, reasonably busy, good transport links. Any sub should expect this and also has the responcibility for her own safety in not accepting things done otherwise. The second meeting, well that is where risk can be considered because you have something real on which to base your assessment of what level of risk/ how much trust is realy there. quote:
Best wishes to you on your journey together. I truly enjoyed reading your post. Again, thank you for sharing. Many thanks
