Let me be the first to say, "I agree with Tojo". This is never just about one person's needs, it's about the needs of all those involved. If being a Dom/me isn't for you, Cleo, then don't do it.

I would be willing to bet that your next question is, "Well, how do I know if it's for me or not?" Which would be a most excellent question. You need to do what Tojo said: take a deep breath, sit down, and think about what you want. If you think that being in control and ordering somebody around is appealing, while being responsible for their well-being as they do your bidding, then you might be interested in it.

(Side note: I feel like we ought to do a "You might be a Dom/me" thing, like Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck" comedy bit.)

There's a difference between being bossy and being the type of person who can be a Dom/me. I can be pretty bossy at times and I do tend to be a control freak about some things, but I'm in no way cut out to be a Domme. I just know what I like and how I like it.

This is going to require a lot of soul searching, Cleo. Read the stories on this site. They have story codes that'll help give you an idea of what's in them and that'll give you some idea of what you're interested in. And sift through the old threads on the forums. They're quite informative.
