I would say your situation appears promising for two reasons; (1)

and (2) it seems that you both communicate with each other well.

Generally males in Western society are reared to understand society places expectations on us to behave in a dominant way. (e.g. to initiate contact with females, to initiate sex, etc.) Still behaving in a dominant way in general is a good deal different from behaving as a dominant with regards to the lifestyle and sexuality. My assumption is right now he is attempting to dominate you because you have openly expressed your desire for it and he wants to meet your needs because he cares for you. Only time will tell whether he finds the lifestyle personally meaningful and fulfilling. Most of us can do and be something for the benefit of another over the short run, but unless we find personal meaning in the activity, I think it is just human nature that we find it somewhat tedious over the long run.

Things appear very positive at this point so I think you should remain patient and see how it goes. Hopefully he will become more and more comfortable with allowing your relationship to continue in the present direction and will in time find that it serves not only your needs but his as well. Good luck!
