"Pateince is the greast virtue".. this is a phrase i was taught from the time i was just a little girl.. Although to this day i still find it hard...

Except in one aspect of my life.. being a submissive.. That is one thing all subs must have is patience... for they must do as Master says and at the speed he wants.. Sometimes that can be much longer then what you as a sub may want..

One thing that comes to mind very quickly where this applies as a sub.. is orgasim denial... So use this frustration and impatiences as a training tool in itself..

Also remember the phrase " good things come to those who wait" remember this is a relationship and as satistics shows if you rush into it.. it may turn out to something not so nice...

A Dom/sub relationship is just like anyother relationship, it needs time to grow and flourish.. Just as we put a seed in the ground we must wait for the flower to rise.. if we try to rush it it dies.. or is not the perfect the flower we require and want... it grows stumpy and the bloom is small.. thus making us very disappionted, and very sad to the point we throw it out.

You must let the trust, passion and friendship grow first, or you will have nothing to keep it going, It will feel empty and inadequate, iam sure this is not what you want.

It may be he is concerned how fast to go, so he does not scare you or lose you. To me that is a caring Dom and you are very fortunate to have him.

I would also say the other suggestions are very good ones.. but as far as between you both i would say give it time to grow, take baby steps, so neither of you over step boundaries that are unknown, thus causing hard feelings for you both.

Just my opinion.. I hope it helps
