I can't say I dig the way this is being couched. You can fake it...for a while, but it will become unsatisfying for you if you aren't enjoying it.

So rather, I would look at it as a chance to grow and explore together. That doesn't just mean doing what she wants, it means negotiating and evolving a dynamic where BOTH f you are getting your needs met. The Daddy/little dynamic might fit you really well, and can a jumping off point for you into other things. Her desires are something she can share with you so you can incorporate them as well. I guess what im saying is don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

So, the first place to start is figuring out right now what you BOTH want out of a dynamic. Does she want more pain play? More service? Stricter rules? Some of everything? What makes her feel submissive? Safe? Cared for? Turned on?

No ask yourself these same questions can you find common ground, a place to start exploring more together. You don't need to change everything, just try things out together and see where it goes. Check in and communicate a LOT so you can gauge how things are going.

You might check out something like mojoupgrade.com to help facilitate finding common ground.

You have an amazing chance here to grow your relationship, but always remember, your kinks serve the relationship, not the other way around. If you lose yourself in before you even start, it will probably end badly.

I take some issue to with the characterization of Daddy/little as "Bdsm lite". It's just onevw synod playing. It's not for everyone, but there is no heirarchy. It's sbout findingvwhat works for everyone involved. There is s possibility you just aren't compatible in this way, but there is also a chance that you will get even closer as you share more of yourselves with each other.
