I have to agree with
patience and perserverance
not all Dom/Masters are the same. I'm Married to mine and he wasn't a Master when we first met although he was very much Dom he just didn't see it in himself. It takes time. He was worried he would hurt me at first I simply told him I'm not made of glass nor pot I won't break and if it hurt I'd say so. I think when ever a sub meets a Dom/Master it's learning again on both sides.

OMG, never mind-his dominance has come out en force. Just had the hardest orgasm of my life!
You go girl! think things are going well for you *lol*
