I had a date last night. Well, I don’t know if “date” is really the right word. It wasn’t a play session either. It just was. I’d talked to the guy for a few months; we met on CM. I’d been kind of putting off meeting him though. When we talked on the phone or online (which wasn’t regularly) we only talked about lifestyle related stuff, which made me think we wouldn’t connect beyond something physical, and I wasn’t even sure about that. He is the most adorable thing ever – why would he want me? And, he lives almost 2 hours away – that’s a long ways to drive for something I’m unsure about.
But, last night I made the drive to his place and I am so glad I did. In so many ways, he’s the guy I never thought existed. He is funny, smart, artistic, kinky, AND a farm boy! There was never a lack for conversation. When we went to bed, my cheeks hurt so bad from smiling and laughing so much. He really put himself out there for me too. He did everything I asked of him (not that I asked anything too drastic) which was a big deal for him. He’s been interested in the lifestyle for years but has only had one previous opportunity to explore it in real life.
After I’d been there a little while he told me what his one real limit was – kissing. I was shocked. It took me a few minutes to wrap my head around the idea. Everything (including sex!) was on the table – but no kissing. He said he never kisses on the first date – it’s something he saves for girls he’s semi-serious about. He acknowledged that there was logic missing from his theory but that’s the way it was. To a certain degree I guess I get where he’s coming from; Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman” would do anything her clients wanted, except kiss on the lips. While I respected his decision (and in some ways it made me want him so much more because it really is sweet!) it was frustrating! I wanted him; I wanted to kiss him *so* badly. More than that, even though we’d just met, I wanted to be someone he was semi-serious about!
Even though sex was an option, I couldn’t sleep with him without kissing him. I don’t do casual sex [anymore] and even though we’d probably see each other again, sex without kissing felt very casual – despite the fact sex with kissing can be casual so I know the two are not exclusive. And, by him not kissing me it implied the verdict was still very much out about me; I didn’t want to put myself out there sexually if he wasn’t sure about me.
The whole kissing thing wasn’t all of why we didn’t sleep together though. It wasn’t until our 4th date that I slept with Hunter – which was also the first time he’d gotten near my tits or any other part of my body. I feel like I’ve grown a lot in the past year and a half where sex is concerned. I *really* want a guy to want me for me, not for the sex. Not that waiting only a few dates ensures that, but it’s better than jumping in the sack right away. Another thing is that I have to build up confidence with each guy. I didn’t feel extremely dominant last night, despite the fact he was extremely submissive. Even though I wasn’t really nervous at all around him, I didn’t really put myself out there either. I was too shy to try a strap-on, or a whole lot of anything else. With Hunter it took probably around two months before I had the courage to take his ass that way. I don’t foresee myself ever being the type of person who can just do scenes. For me to feel & be truly dominant, it has to be within the context of a D/s relationship.
He said he wants to see me again but for my own sake I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much. If he’s not interested in pursuing something beyond just sex, then I won’t see him again – that really isn’t what I want. Even if I don’t see him again, now I know there are guys like him out there so I guess that’s something.
