That which can be counted doesn't always count, and that which counts can't always be counted...

What am I looking for?

Well, ultimately what I want is a relationship.. not just a play partner or an online only romance.. I want a partner in life and to see where that leads over the long run. 

I like a submissive woman in every day life.. someone who yields to her mate on major decisions.. but can make up her own mind if she needs to.. but in the bedroom she is mine..

I have many interests outside of the BDSM lifestyle that I pursue. Eventually I plan on building a place where we can live comfortably yet inexpensively.. a smaller home that can be built without a mortgage that consumes a large part of income.. so that we would be able to spend a lot less time working to buy things, and a lot more time traveling and enjoying what the world has to offer.

I don't expect to just jump into a relationship.. I know that trust and attraction develop over time.. and trust is paramount in this type of relationship. Anyone that says otherwise is fooling themselves. 

Obviously I would prefer someone that is local to me.. in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.. I don't intend to leave Texas as I have friends and family here.. and I'm not inclined to spend a lot of time dealing with a long distance relationship to see if it is something worth pursuing.
