Thanks, Tantric. Sometimes I think that I got very lucky to have found a group of people who are all into BDSM but really when I think about it, it seems more likely that we all influenced each other and all traveled down this road together, in some ways. And when you've known a person for years and years you just naturally care about them and want to help them.

And on a side note, the date went wonderfully; we all went to go see a movie and then ended up hanging out afterward. First, I liked her and she actually got along with me and our other domme friend (very important because I am very territorial). And after alot of dancing around words and beating around the bush and alluding to all sorts of sexual innuendos, she says the line "Well, life would be boring without a little sadism anyway, right?"

Hallelujah.
