    Caring So Damn Much!

    @MasterMochaelNY - It's not a problem. Perhaps the blog doesn't read as i hoped it would. But i may well come and ask a few questions as the offer has been made

    @Yasna - Good way to make clear some difference between the two. Yes i do agree with you, so it's nice to see i got the right meanings across in the end.

    You say your post was a "retrospective look at a past problem"; therefore my comment might not be relevant for you any longer. I felt uneasy while reading your post because you seemed to use "caring" equivalent to "insecure". The same behaviour – e.g. checking in on somebody, asking for feedback, negotiating carefully – can be motivated by either caring or insecurity (or a mixture of both). Consequently, the same behaviour can be perceived as caring (and competent) or insecure and as attractive in a dom or not. After reading your last lines I assume you agree. I'm just writing this to make sure that you and, for that matter, everybody else who reads it, doesn't think he has to stop or reduce caring to come across as confident. On the contrary, I think caring is a very attractive quality in a dom (as is confidence).

    And it's very similar to your analogy. I put more faith in my experiences and ability to Dom, and it was better. This was more of a retrospective look at a past problem, than commenting on where i am currently.
    Cool, sorry I must be tried. I always try to help out my fellow brothers, if they need help. My mistake.

    Your trying to be too perfect, you need to rethink the relationship, I want you to think the relationship this way.

    You know the girl's Likes, dislikes, and limits. Now think this way. Your on a Motorcycle, your driving, and the girl is in the back. You have full control, she's on the bike for the ride. You control the speed, and the turning, and were your going, and the dam radio too. You know she likes rock, so you put on a rock radio station for her, that you both like. In her limits, she doesn't like getting wet. So you avoid puddles. If she gets uncomfortable, she can move around back there, and shift her ass. The bike might shake, but you have the wheel and straighten it out. But if you have no confident in your riding skills, your going to scare the crap out of her.

    Now how do you get confident? There is only one way, by doing it. If you try to fake it, the girl is going to know. So the best thing to do, is be truthful with the girl when you start a relationship. Tell her the truth, that she is number 3, and your experence with 1 and 2. So that way when something happens, she will be understanding.

    It just like riding skill, you have to do it. You can read all the books you want, or pretend that your zooming down the road, and leaning into a turn. But once you get on a bike, and do it, it's a whole different story.
    What I would recommend to boost your on-line dom confidence . Go out and do it live, as in the way of munchies, or taking classes, like rope works, or a whip class, and chat with other people, especially the subs, and slaves.

    Just keep in mind, the bike. Your in charge, she in for the ride. Got any questions, hit me up thru my PM.

    This is the thing, i've been the "God Dom" who can do no wrong. That was my attitude when first starting out, and it's shocking how quickly that leads to mistakes and issues!

    That feedback is important to me, especially in an online relationship. I can't always see someone to read their body language or hear
    their voice. Those are major clues to how someone is doing.

    And due to past mistakes i like to make sure my Sub is feeling comfortable and ok. After a while it doesn't need to be so constant as i learn someone.
    Eg. my on/off relationship has almost no check-ins to see how she's doing, because i've learnt her and know she'll speak up if something is not doable or good.

    @Jaro - Not quite the "ride" intended, but it's rather adaptable apparently

    @IceMaiden - I could have quoted that whole speech because it's goddamn amazing! And i could have easily done 30 quotes just from Buffy because it's a fantastic show

    Titles

    Indeed, titles are great but only if you are actually in a D/s relationship. I love calling my misses "Princess" and "Goddess". I personally like the classic "Mistress" too, but my misses don't which is respected of course.

    Personally, I don't like any of the usual male titles: "Sir", "Master", "Daddy".... If I ever were to be a Dom (which is not very likely as I'm mainly submissive) it would be hard thinking of what I'd want my sub to call me.

    Titles

    I personally do not like anybody calling me a title at all unless we have entered into a relationship of some sort. This goes for both Domme titles and sub titles.

    I also will not call somebody Sir or Master without entering into a relationship. Respect is something that is earned, and those titles are something that hold a lot of respect.

    I was doing this off memory (because if i couldn't remember something it couldn't be best) and Nothing Without You stood out more than Magnetised (as did Human Behavior, but not that horrible re-release of Don't Come Home). So minor mistake on my part.
