Do I want a LTR?

After 3 1/2 years of separation  I am recently divorced and that took lots of agony and time to deal with emotionally and financially.  But the marriage is over.

 Do I want a LTR or am I simply looking to "play"?

 I get asked this question by most women on this site, .  I was married and happily so for over 25 years.  All my play was centered around my partner and I found that a necessity. I hope to find a partner to finish my life with.  Before my marriage I dated and met and sometimes played with many fun, happy, independent, sexy, seductive women.  It was part of my seeking for the right fit.

 When I met my wife it became apparent after several months together we were a special couple. We clicked on every level.  I would expect a similar experience with anybody before I could form a LTR.

 I will need to meet such a person, in person.  I will not to be subjected to 20 questions or a PM essay test to see if I can measure up.  If you chose to judge the whole person by a few paragraphs you know nothing about people.

 In my world, I start with physical chemistry first. The look, feel, taste, sound, and smell of a woman mean everything to me.  I intend to meet in person and get to know someone before I make the decision to go further and work on a LTR.  

If this is unclear just ask and I will reiterate as best I can.  I need to meet with a woman first to even start a relationship.

Dominant VS Master.

I really want to disown this word Dom or Dominant.  It is so besides the point and part of a dead world view.  I would rather use the term Master as in mastery and think of a Master as part of a practice or avocation rather than a badge to be acquired.  Mastery in a TPE is a collaboration with trust, not dominance over someone like a slave owner.  All power is given to the Master, not forcibly taken from the sub/bottom/slave.  That's the reality and lets not confuse that with the affectations that are part of the game of role playing.

There is no supremacy or superior sex or person, just people attaining a mastery of the craft and emotions of relating through role playing. Sure play anyway you want this is supposed to be fun, and suspension of disbelief is an important part of the play.
