I responded to a post by a Dom, and I'm not sure what to do next. We did some light role play, and he was really sweet, patient and thoughtful. After chatting a bit more, I realised I forgot to mention that tickling is a hard limit for me, so I made sure to mention it to him as soon as I remembered. He used the smirking emoji in response, and in the role play he tickled me - within minutes of me communicating clearly that it is a hard limit. I know that's a red flag, I'm just feeling a bit lost and down because he started out great but he crossed the biggest boundary and limit there is - to not cross limits. I'm having a hard time working up the courage to tell him that we're not going further, despite him being really apologetic.

I hope you're all having a great festive season and a happy new year!
