I met a really nice Dominant via collarme.com. He had bad timing though and at the point in my life we met online, I was going through a really rough time with my marriage and my then Master. I chatted with Dave, exchanged a few emails but ultimately told him that I didn't think it would be fair to him to drag him into my drama. I hated to do that because he was really nice and we had a lot in common. But I just didn't have the emotional reserve to deal with a new relationship.
A year later he sent me an email and we started chatting again. By then I was under Ms Edna's protection and hubby was collard to her. Since she was my Domme, I told her about Dave and told her I wanted to meet him in real life with the plan to get together and play, possibly have a relationship.
We met for dinner at a fairly nice Mexican place. He was charming. I was smitten. Ms Edna was impressed and even Jeff (her Dom-in-training) seemed to like him. So she gave me the green light and we made arrangements for our first "date" in the near future. He came to my house to pick me up and we went rope shopping. He laced me into a rope dress and then, after our first real kiss, took me out to dinner. Which was quite interesting, given the location of some of the knots. After dinner we went to Ms Edna's and had our first scene.
We hit it off really well and saw each other when we could. Unfortunately with a new baby and another little one starting school, the visits got further and further apart. We had a very honest conversation about it and he told me that while he considered me his, he didn't feel it would be fair to me to collar me. I agreed, even though I wanted to be collared again I didn't want an "empty" collar without the relationship behind it.
I continued to see him when he was available, 2 or 3 times a year, but didn't really think of myself as belonging to him. I had a few experiences with other people, mostly casual and not really what I wanted. I have found that I don't really do casual...it just isn't me. Whether it's a scene or something sexual, I just don't enjoy it as much if there isn't at least some sort of emotional connection there, if not a relationship.
I did meet someone else online in the fall of 2007 and met up with him in person. That's another story all together, but this person was the only other Dom besides Dave that I had any sort of relationship with after being released from hubby's collar. I still keep in touch with Dave, such as it is. We occasionally exchange emails or chat and sometimes comment on each other's LJ entries. But I haven't seen him in person for nearly 2 years.
And that is, as requested, the story of Dave. AKA Master Twisted here on Livejournal.
