If I'm seeing someone, them seeing anyone besides me is unacceptable. Likewise, I would not see someone else while I was dating a submissive.

Besides me being possessive my reasons strongly mirror what Radiance said. If I'm not good enough to her to pursue with all her heart or if she's not good enough for me to pursue with all my heart than as far as I'm concerned things weren't meant to be.

And as to how it appears or I think it appears. That's a bit harder and depends on the observers perspective, obviously, which is why you asked. A lot of things I look at and see them simply as things I don't want to get involved in or practice rather than see them as negative or wrong. This included.
