So are you a dom, or a sub?<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nI DM a lot, but sometimes I&#8217;m just a regular player.<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nDM?<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nYou know, a dungeonmaster.<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\n[Incredulous] You??? All this time I thought you were kind of timid.<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nWell, I&#8217;m sometimes nervous in front of everyone.

How many people do you dom for?<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nWe have a group that meets every week or so.<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nSorry, this is totally blowing my mind.

Please please please???<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nWell, we&#8217;re having something here tonight at 8&#8230; I think I could convince my friends to let you in.<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re so amazing! I&#8217;ll be here!!! I love that stuff. The costumes, the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nOh, we don&#8217;t wear costumes, it&#8217;s not like THAT. We don&#8217;t go overboard.<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s kinda lame. What do you wear?<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nLike normal clothes. Only&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nWell I think it&#8217;s lame not to wear costumes. Who wants to wear jeans and stuff?<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nOh you like costumes?<\/p>\n<p>Girl:<br \/>\nUh, yeah! Costumes are a total TURN ON. [Looks at guy seductively and touches his chest. She gets butter on it.]<\/p>\n<p>Guy:<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve got some chain mail from an old knight&#8217;s costume I wore at Hallowe&#8217;en. I could wear that.
