ORIGINAL: sirsholly My worst story is fairly mild. I agreed to meet a Dom for coffee. He was so ugly (I mean...DAMN...the dude was UG-LLLLLLY) that i was praying no one i knew saw me with him. I was going to be polite, then excuse myself to the ladies room and BEG a bud to call my cell with an "emergency". That didn't happen. At one point he smiled and, i swear, he had teeth (a few) that looked like they were covered with sandpaper. I excused myself to the Ladies and beat feet through the kitchen door. holly de Superficial We all have our superficial moments. To be honest, I've done something similar myself, coupled with leaving because of obvious lies. I admit, I did NOT handle this situation well, and perhaps he is on this site (or another, since I didn't meet him here) telling horrible stories about the Dom who stood him up. But, I own my shame and mistakes, and try to learn from them. In fact, my own behavior in this instance is what made me realize that I expected honesty out of a sub, but wasn't giving it back. Reflecting upon my own actions altered my own moral compass in terms of honesty and communication. The very first sub I tried to meet, after spending years trying to deny the Dom feelings I had, was a release. It felt good to finally get a chance to explore what I had been feeling for so long. So, I decided to meet the guy at a local Starbucks, share some coffee, chat, and see if we both felt comfortable going to the next level. I arrived just before 7:00, our agreed upon meeting time. Well, 7:00 came, and went. Then 7:15. At almost 7:30, when I was about to pack up and leave, I get a text message from him. "I've been here for a half an hour, are you here?" I texted him back that yes, indeed, I was at the Starbucks waiting for him. I asked him to wave so he could get my attention, thinking I had just overlooked him and, maybe, he was sitting in a hidden corner or something was blocking my view. Sure enough, he waved. (Now, in case there are questions about why HE didn't spot ME, I will have to say that I knew from the outset that this sub has particularly bad eyesight, to the point where seeing clear shapes more than 40 feet away from him is nearly impossible, and driving is out of the question. We picked this Starbucks location because it was within walking distance to his house, should coffee have gone well and we wanted to go back to his place). The person that waved at me was not, in any resemblance known to humankind, the man whose pictures I had seen and who I had been talking to. He was easily 6 inches shorter than he stated, 100 pounds heavier than he stated, and had the look of someone who had not bathed since the Clinton administration. It was like being shown pictures of Brad Pitt, but actually meeting an unhygienic John Goodman. Nothing about his description, or his pictures, matched the person sitting in a corner waiting for me. The height and weight he advertised and that had appeared in his pictures? Nope, off big time. His hair color? Not sandy blond as I believed, but nearly jet black (and greasy). His clothes were not the nicely washed and put together look he had in his pictures, but were filled with so many holes and stains as to give him the look of an old boxcar hobo. I suppose that the only thing he was honest about was that he was partially blind and leaved near a Starbucks. I didn't know which was worse...the fact that the guy I was there to meet was as attractive to me as a cantaloupe, or that I was horrendously lied to. I settled on a "six of one, half dozen of the other" answer to that conundrum. Knowing that he couldn't pick me out of the crowd due to his eyesight, I just calmly got up and left, as though I was just a regular customer deciding it was time to go home. In text messages, I made up a tale of how I must have been at the wrong Starbucks as I didn't see anyone wave, and that we should just talk again tomorrow. I got home, blocked him from my email and instant messenger, and blocked his cell number in my phone. To this day, I have no idea why he lied about himself so blatantly. But, had I had a chance to do it again, I would have at least let him try to explain himself and then just told him it wasn't going to work, instead of leaving him guessing.
