That's one thing I hate about threads like this. The OP comes on, churns out a quick post about what the issue is concerning and then never returns to clarify certain terms. Then, all folks can do to try to help is fill in the gaps from what they have from their own experiences, without ever really knowing what the phrases really meant to the OP. With this in mind, I'll offer the following. From what I read, I don't think there was any "secret" about it. What I gathered from the limited details in the original post, the OP and the new guy were just getting to know each other and had made it to the first in-person type meet. I may be in the minority here, but if I'm getting to know someone through the course of emails, etc, My priority isn't necessarily going to be going through who I talk to online. We're talking about a span of a few weeks here. I'm more likely to be talking about things like compatibility, rather than friends or conversations. Two of the other words that I have problems with that weren't defined were "vanilla" and "intimate". This is where this gets really messy and I have to try to remember that other people don't work the way that I do. Unless I've got a really long term sense of familiarity with a person, there aren't going to be enough "vanilla" details that are going to be an issue. The term "intimate" is wide open. I've got no idea if the OP is discussing certain sexual proclivities or what she actually considers intimate. It could be about kinks that she doesn't exactly want to be known about her or anything under the sun. Just to pull something out of My behind, maybe she's a Domme who also enjoys the AB/DL side of her, and puts that out front to any potentials, but doesn't want it known in general. I've also got issues with the term "virtual stranger". People have varying opinions on how much or little they invest in an online/phone only vrs a face to face friend. I'm usually on the other side of this debate but I am going to say this. I've been on this site for over six years. I know there are people that I've conversed with for multiple years that I don't consider strangers at all. I couldn't even begin to estimate how many hours upon hours I spent talking with them and how well a certain, select few know more about Me than anyone, except for the people I sleep with. One of which, if I printed up all of the emails and chat conversations on paper, it would be considered novel length and his phone number is still sticking on My separate hard drive on a post-it. Once again, I am very grateful that I'm not a submissive. If someone I had barely met felt they were more entitled to know My history with others with whom I've had long term associations, in the course of just a few weeks, I'd probably tell somebody to shove it.
