Alt.com

The first thing I'll say about Alt... they don't lack for variety. The five page questionnaire of Likes/Dislikes spans all imaginable scenarios and then some. I like the categories to choose from: Have done... Would consider doing...No way! Or at least, that's how my mind recalls.

I got some very interesting responses to my ad. Answers ranged from the mildly curious to the truly off the wall. Couples responded looking for a menage a trois. Some Doms at least attempted a dialog - but then became belligerent and rude when I inquired further (one must learn not to question some Doms). I had one who sent me a contract without preamble. And one... oh, God...I use this as an example of what I call "a bad blind date." You know, it was too funny not to share with some of my more vanilla friends and co-workers. I showed up for coffee at a diner. The guy showed up...with coupons. And wanted to "suggest" what I should order...based on the coupons. I respectfully declined (which already implies that I'm not good sub material, I know). I always figure on paying my own way on these occasions. But when I witnessed this guy give his order to the waitress in a way that would have made Meg Ryan proud (it was like I stepped into a surreal alternative version of When Harry Met Sally), I wanted to run. How I made it through that "lunch" I'm not sure. By the time he started talking about how public education was brainwashing today's children and that we would all be better off if they reinstated the militia... I think I knew I was doomed. When he got out a calculator to figure out how much of the tax was my half...I just grabbed the check.

I did go on to have much better luck and I met my Dom on there - and he turned out to live not too far from me. I'll share more about Him and our D/s development later.
