An exciting new chapter in My life will begin in May as I relocate to Reno/Carson City to begin a new job and, in the process, a new life in a new place. There was nothing wrong with the old one, mind you! Ohio is great and I will miss it. But I cannot contain My excitement at what the possibility may be in Nevada!

D/s has been a part of My life for more than a decade. It is a major factor in the person I have become. Combine that with intelligence, a good education, and a solid value system, and I am a pretty well-rounded human!

I have found that having someone special enhances these qualities, and is the only way to fulfill the emotional aspects. Quite simply, there is always emptiness to some degree without a partner.

I have no fantasy that I will arrive into someone's arms and live happily ever after. All types of relationships take work and a development of trust - which does not come overnight. I do not have any desire to grind someone into submission. It is so much better and meaningful when submission is begged and longed to be given! Earned, if you will.

As a 43-year-old, stable, clean, D&D free, educated Man, I have the value of maturity to guide Me. I also have never lost the excitement that a meaningful relationship can ignite.

I am seeking, first and foremost, a friend. Need one in a new place. I know the general lay of the land, but a great tour guide would be fantastic! One who knows all of the little things that only locals know. One who knows the hidden places where the coffee is a bit better and the beer is a bit colder. Someone who is confident and can express it.

I value intelligance and communication - two very important assets. Being open and honest in your feeling and dealings (someone said that and I liked it). One who can eliminate the guessing game as to who she is and what she needs and wants. Yes, discovery is fun - like fumbling around in the back seat of a car as a teenager - remember those days!? But that needs to be balaced with revealation as well.

I do not own someone the moment I meet them and they know of My Dominant personality. Ownership of any aspect is earned, and, "Hello! How are you?" doesn't do it. By the same token, My Domination is earned as well. I don't see it as a two-way street. I look at it more as two people taking the same one-way avenue, if that makes sense.

So, there you have it. (Well, as much as I can put here without forcing you to read all day.) You can formulate enough of your own thoughts from what I have written, and know if you are interested in any aspect of this at all. Oh, physically, just for the record, I really have no requirements - other than that you care for your body and mind. A few extra pounds are not a problem at all.

Let's go from here...
