Comunication is key!

Look at whatever training you have as a positive instead of a negative, it can only be benificial, if your smart about it... it will only come in handy. Lots of people want to think they are super unique or something and than what one learned from this dom isnt applicable to that one etc...it simpley isnt true in most instances in my experience and you shall do fine if your flexible.

You dont have to unlearn a thing so long as your able to keep learning.

As for being bratty or playful or spirited and what not and he or she not liking it etc, there are two things you can do...eaither adapt your behavior accordingly to the new partner, or make the determination that your not compatible with them and move on.

A D/s relationship like any other is a two way street.

I shall pray that your meeting be a safe one.
