It can definitely take time to find the right fit. Those two 'doms' and I use the term loosely are abusers not true Doms. You cannot command a sub on first meeting. You need to talk first, see if yo are compatible. To find if you are both looking for the same thing etcShe had spent a few days messaging him on a different site and he was pushing for a meet. She said let's meet at a coffee shop and he tried to "command" her to go to his place. When she declined, he said she wasn't a good sub and needed to be punished to be taught a lesson.
Another guy demanded a nude photo on first contact to "prove she was a true sub"
On the other hand, one guy she met for coffee was apparently very wishy washy and kept asking her if it was ok to order for her and when she asked what he expected of her, he said things and then stuttered and asked if that was alright with her. (Very low self confidence).
If she has been talking to someone, she will send me copies of the conversation to read to see if I can pick up any red flags. I will point things out and tell her to watch herself on those issues. Most of the time I turn out to be right. If I like the way he's talking and the direction of his intentions I'll tell her to give it a chance.
Another One of My ex Littles did the same thing and she is now with an amazing man. Learning to be a Dom but doing everything the right way.
Remembering of course that every dynamic is different. And there is a
right Dom for every Sub and Vice Versa
