Hello from Seattle... I'm 49 years old and I'm really sick of games.

...That being said... one more thing before I tell you about myself:

If you are looking for immediate gratification you need not respond, I am not at all interested in getting together for a quick roll in the hay. I'm looking for a long-term relationship. This means that if I meet you for dinner, and you hit on me, I will not go out with you again. I want the semblance of an old-fashioned courtship. When I am ready to sleep with you, there will be no need to ask, I will make it very clear.

Please reread the above paragraph. I really, _Really_ dislike jerks.

Here's the part where I tell you about myself and what I am looking for:

I desire, first and foremost, a friend and companion, second, an imaginative and creative lover, and lastly, a naturally Dominant male that wishes to explore [with me] the world of B&D/D&S/S&M...

Are you experienced in this lifestyle? Are you at least 40 years old and possess old fashioned values? Do you enjoy the discovery process? Are you emotionally available? Are you adept at creating intense desire?

I ache for unknown pleasures and have been patiently waiting for a 'good fit' for over 15 (yes-ten) years, since I realized my true desires.

Originally Domme, I am now a submissive, and not a switch. I have not practiced seriously in years. ...Lately the waiting for a suitable Master has become almost unbearable, I've been losing sleep over it, laying awake at night, wanting.

Real psychology makes this interesting and challenging for the right Dom. I don't want to be a "slave" per se, but I also don't want to "play." I must live and work in the vanilla world, and want a portion of this relationship to be cloaked in vanilla, but I need the D/s undertones and will eventually want a 24/7 relationship.

I won't discuss my kinks casually, but let this suffice, I am virtually unshockable, and there is a reason for that.

And here's more about me...

I went to boarding school and have manners, I hope you do too. I need limits, patience, consequences, discipline and unconditional love. If you are looking for immediate gratification you need not respond, I've been waiting too long to give my gift on a whim. I prefer to meet early on to see if there is mutual chemistry. I would prefer to start off vanilla and let the bdsm evolve naturally.

There is more in this woman than you would imagine upon meeting and spending time with me. I am capable of acting like a proper lady at all times, except when pleasing my Master... I prefer to whisper my kinks, fetishes, and desires, to my Master when the trust is there. It's a magical process, not to be made into something casual.

I prefer the comfort of jeans and a T-shirt although I own all forms of attire. I like fine-dining as well as quarter-pounders with cheese. Don't be shocked when you see me hold my eating utensils in the European fashion: knife in the right hand, fork in the left throughout the entire meal, then just as comfortably eat something with my hands and get a messy face. Whatever the situation dictates and allows. A living, breathing, dichotomy.

I will not relocate.
I smoke, and am herb friendly.
I drink alcohol socially.

What do I like to do?

I enjoy dining out, movies, music, reading, and working. In movies, my top 3 favorite would have to be: Bladerunner, The Hunger, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. In music, I enjoy Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, Everlast, Steely Dan, Classic Rock, and Pop. In books, I read most anything I can get my hands on but am enamored with Ann Rice's series', she writes Vampire books and also has a charming bdsm series under a pseudonym.

My Ideal Person:

I am looking for a Gentleman. You are at a minimum ..employed, and preferably, financially secure and semi-retired. I am not at all "high maintenance" , however I want to have time with my partner... I need a monogamous, empathetic, and patient man. I have trust issues, you'll never get a blindfold on me, EVER.

Intelligence is important to me as I am very bright. I'd like you have a big sense of humor and possess a healthy respect for women in general, no misogyny, please.

I prefer reasonably attractive men, without much body hair. I prefer large body types: Men nearly 6' tall, or over, and weight around 190/200lbs or more, but not obese.

Personality and experience are MUCH more important to me though, so if my ad _really_ strikes you, and my physical preferences don't match you, respond anyway, ..ok?

Please don't send me a picture of your penis. That's nearly as bad as using the word "Dominate" instead of Dominant (CMR, you need to change that on your profile). Hey, if I want to see your penis, I'll ask........and if you are a "Dominate male" , and don't get why that is wrong, then don't bother to respond to me no matter how close the match.

If you are genuine, and don't care about the subtle differences implied here, and think I am petty for making something out of it: please don't answer. I'm a published freelance writer, among other things, and poor usage of the English language really bugs the helloutta me.

...In closing, noting all the exceptions above, please reply only if this ad really moves you, if I sound only "ok" to you, then skip me, ok? I really only want to hear from those that find something tantalizing here, a very close match.

If you arrange in advance, I am available for dinner and drinks Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday evenings.....

Thank You for taking the time to read this.
