I can’t wait to have this conversation (hasn’t happened yet…):
Him: I would really like to see some references please.
Me: Hahehaehahaeahaeha…!!
Him: ??
Me: Oh… you’re serious? Ok. No.
Him: Oh…
Me: You are just have to get to know me, over time… You know… like normal people…

Oh dear. Funny, and sad, at the same time.
I wonder if there'll ever be a day when people will be able to kinky, and normal, at the same time . . .

Heh… Some of us will get there with perserverance and a persistent boring normalosity…

I do hope he realized the treat that getting to know you would be and accepted your terms :)
@Miss Ferns,
“Heh… Some of us will get there with perserverance and a persistent boring normalosity…”
That made me chuckle.

I can give you a reference Ferns :)
Oh you wanted one to attract people ?

*smile* You missed the part where I said I hadn't had that conversation yet, but thank you for the implicit compliment there!
I have seen advice for newbies where experienced folks stress very seriously that if someone can't or won't provide references, they are almost certainly fakes or flakes or other f-words.
I will be *very* interested to see what happens when someone who obviously thinks it's important enough to ask gets told 'no'. Is it a deal breaker? Do they really believe that they cannot learn enough about me all on their own and make their own decision? Is the opinion of some stranger *who I picked* worth more than their own judgement? Stay tuned… if and when I find out, I will definitely share it with you.

Ha! See, THIS is why I won't provide references… even my friends won't say nice things about me to get me laid! *laugh*

Sorry Ferns :( it was a really long day and I did miss that part

I was thinking of the old “no but I did stay at a Holiday inn last night” comercials…
Do you have references ?
No but I do read Fern's blog everyday.

HAHAHA.. OMG, I saw this posted somewhere just yesterday and thought the EXACT same thing. Like I'm going to hand contact info of my friends over to a total stranger. Somehow I doubt my friendships would last long.
But then after another thread, now my response would be “Show up to a munch and you can MEET all my references! LOL

We never got those ads, I had to go look them up… They are cute!
“No but I do read Fern's blog everyday.”
*laugh* … I hope that's all it takes!!

I assume you mean you saw something about references, NOT my writing because if someone is stealing my content, I will send all my references over there to beat them up!!! Grrrr…!!!
“But then after another thread, now my response would be “Show up to a munch and you can MEET all my references!”
Right! See, that would be 'meeting my friends'… just like… errrmmm… normal people…!!
