Hey everyone,

I matched with someone who's more on the vanilla side on a dating app, and I'm wondering how to bring up my leanings towards being submissive and enjoying some kinkier dynamics without making it feel overwhelming or off-putting.

I have a prompt that subtly mentions it but I am assuming that most people wouldn't have read it and I want to be open and honest and, but also mindful of how this might come across, especially since they haven’t hinted at being into kink themselves. Any advice on how to ease into this conversation?

Would love to hear from others who have been in similar situations—what worked for you? What didn’t?

Thanks!
