My General Guidelines when playing with people

My first real post on Fetlife and it's a good one.  Please read this if you want to play with me.

I know I'm not the only one who post rules and such, either on their profiles or within their writings.  I personally hate to put it on my profile because it sets up a bad tone.  Not to mention, its as enticing as a contract.  On the other hand, as I've read other profiles on here, you almost have a detailed list of your likes/dislikes, since people tends to read whatever you write like a dissertation. 

So, instead of "rules" I'm going to call this my general guidelines.  This will apply to ALL situations. Seriously, this is all common sense, and I hold myself accountable to these guidelines as well.

* Don't be a dick.  This applies to ladies as well.  In a nutshell, don't be inconsiderate, rude, pushy, condescending, judgmental.  Especially in our initial meetings when I'm trying to get to know you.

* Be an adult.  For me being an adult means being considerate, respectful, polite, and mature.  I have zero tolerance for flakes or head games.

* Communicate.   Please ask questions, no matter how small the inquiry, how difficult the subject may be, or how stupid it may sound.  I need you to be able to talk to me like a normal human being regardless of your role. I expect you to be able to carry a mundane conversation with me. This is super important for you, because if you can't do this, how are you going to be able to talk to me if/when things don't feel right or something is wrong.

If we follow these guidelines, then we can get to the heart of the matter;  getting to know each other, negotiating what we want from each other and, if the universe is kind to us, playing/dating each other.  I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend my time doing this part of it then weeding through bullshit.  This applies to Poly Dating. I know that seems obvious, but can't assume anything.

**Update: I do tend to work slowly when it comes to considering play partners and lovers.  I'm in a place in my life where I don't need to rush things, and I want to take the time to get to know you and feel how our energies mesh.  If patience isn't your virtue, you will not find me to your liking.**

For the most part, my fetishes are listed on my profile.  If a fetish is not listed its because I'm NOT into it. But then again ask.

Really...Ask me...About anything!
