MattyP -> RE: Maturity... (9/26/2004 1:29:11 PM)

My own situation is from a different perspective than yours, Angelkel. I am an 18 year old Dom, who had Dommed online for years. I enjoy my youth, but at times I curse it, since many people will judge you for your age, and this is especially true when you are talking about prospective partners. I remember the first private message I have received on collarme.com was a reply from a married submissive in my area who was offering to talk to people and offer them advice. So I expressed interest in developing a dialogue, since I know nothing of Tacoma yet, and the very first thing she said was, "My, aren't you a young thing? Make me feel old!" A relatively harmless remark, but the fact that she noted it at all made me feel like some kind of brand was being placed upon me.
Nobody knows better than I that, more often than not, people in my age group can be foolish, immature, and working simply to find kink. But I hope that I, at least, offer proof that there can be mature young people. My advice to you would be try to take it casual with him for a while. Don't even make it about D/s for the first few get togethers. Just see if he is worth it to you as a mature individual. And remember: D/s is all about stepping outside your comfort zone occassionally. You never know when you'll get very comfortable indeed when you do.
