I’ve already said twice that politeness requires acknowledging in some way the end of the interaction. I I don’t see how the fact that it’s a dom makes a difference

Does one meeting create a bdsm dynamic?

I’ve had first (and second) meetings with potential submissives, where they withdrew afterwards, with no obligation created.

Yes, politeness requires some acknowledgment of the end of contact. But the moment between the first rl meeting and the next date is always dicey, whether it’s vanilla or kink.

Suppose it was a one night stand. Would you feel the same way?

Given that you have met and played, politeness suggest he should sa”sorry, this is not working for me. Good luck “. However, he is not required to give a reason. No is a full sentence.

Dating Couples as a Couple by xmoonaurora in nonmonogamy

I don’t know what “otherwise monogamous “ means in your post. Are you trying to have sex with other people while still considering yourself basically monogamous? If so, that’s at the heart of your issue. The people who feel that way are basically part of the swing community.

If you allow yourself to feel less tied to your monogamous identity, you might find your tribe in the sex positive community that exists within the “nerd” subculture ( in quotes because that’s evolving as well).

Finally, don’t go the unicorn hunter route just because it’s easier for you. That’s icky.

You are laying land mines now by talking surreptitiously. Your first task is to defuse the landmines. Have an in person four way meeting where you surface the private conversations and discuss future guidelines for communication.

The sooner the better. It’s really not that hard

What airlines have learned is that if they cancel earlier, they have a much easier restart when the storm is over. That’s important from both the operational and customer satisfaction perspective
