Dear Mgirl
Welcome here. I hope that these initial steps blossom into something really satisfying for you.
I realise this isn't what you asked for in your thread, but please allow me to comment...
In the years I've been here I've learned something that might be of use to you here:
The best mentor for a new and learning submissive is another submissive. If you want to learn the correct mindset, discuss it with another subbie that You can trust.
A Dom will in most cases teach you what he likes/enjoys but this won't necessarily give you a whole view.
I would have been lost had I not had the support and advice of fellow-aubbies in the past.
Just my opinion...
Hope it helps.
