ORIGINAL: IronBear - How difficult do or have you found to meet and even hook up with a suitable partner (submissive, slave or Master/Mistress), taking into account you available time, location, available transport, and size of your local scene?
"How difficult" is "-very- difficult". We've had some who seemed close, and one who even seemed like an ideal fit, but thus far, we haven't found anyone who has made it through the 6 month probationary period with us. As a result, we've met and become friends with some incredible people, and had the opportunity to watch them and ourselves grow, but we haven't found anyone yet who is in a position to be truly -attached- to who and what we are, or who is in the position to be able to make that kind of commitment, when the other commitments in their lives are taken into consideration. That's ok, though. When it is time, the right situation will present itself. quote:
- How do you deal with the problem of not finding someone suitable after looking for some time?
And this is part 2 of the equation. While we're waiting, we're -living-. Both SilverRose and I are in school to complete new doctorates, I'm writing 2 books (one of which came about and found a publisher because of an idea brought out in a discussion -here-), we both work outside of our home, we're raising 4 kids (ok, one of them is pretty much raised, but still...), we have numerous friends and even a couple of lovers. We have associations related to our spiritual path on several planes of existence. We have so many things to keep us busy that waiting is the least of our problems. For us, a bigger problem is finding someone who is secure enough to be happy with being a part of what we are, and understands that being a part of what we are may mean that we are busy, or preoccupied -- but that their acts of service are so profoundly helpful in keeping our lives together. We're patient, though. We're willing to take chances on people who have dreams, and wait to see if their dreams and our dreams mesh. Sometimes, after a while, it becomes pretty clear that new dreams or suppressed dreams that have been given a chance to awaken rise to the surface and become a greater draw than the dreams that would keep someone with us. That's ok. Eventually, we'll find the right people, and grow at the pace that works for all of us. Don't lose hope. Believe in what you want. I heard once that the Universe will give us whatever we want, as long as we ask unselfishly. (I think it was in a book called Pronoia is the Antidote to Paranoia, by an author with the last name Brezny) I believe that profoundly, and it's how I've lived my life up until now, with a few little hitches when I forgot that it's all going to work out.
