hi all! I [27F] been talking to a sub [28M] for about six weeks now and while we’re getting along and having fun, I feel like there’s a bit of a break down between us when it comes to expectations. We don’t live in the same state, barely know each other, and so far our interactions have only been online/calls. I’ve been what I think is pretty clear that I’m not looking to do anything close to committing right now and if I ever did it would be far far in the future. For his part, he’s been really respectful of trying to keep our dynamic fun and casual, although he’s intimated a few times that his feelings are deeper but he doesn’t want to say so because he knows I don’t want to hear it. The after our play session a few days ago he said he was falling in love with me. I’m not sure how to handle this. Obviously I want any partner I’m with to feel that they can be honest with me about what they’re feeling. Add to that that a D/s dynamic maybe amplifies some of the lovey/dependence feelings. But I’m concerned about him becoming too attached to me, especially because we barely know each other. I want to be responsible about how I handle this moving forward. Any advise about what to say/how to act in order to honor his feelings but also temper expectations? thanks!!
