i have to whole-heartedly disagree with this. what this means to me (as i too am under consideration) and probably to lots of others, is that He is also being considered by me, so i don't talk to other potentials while we're working on a possible dynamic. I've never been under consideration. Frankly, if he'd told me i was, i would have shown him the door. Neither have i had anyone under my consideration. We first became friends. Then we shared vacations and met family. It felt right. We felt we could accept the other's quirks. Our lifestyle goals seemed to be similar. He could and did see whomever he wished to see when we lived apart. I also could see whomever i chose to see. We lived together as friends and companions until a year later when....after much thought.... i was collared. It's great that you have the maturity it takes to start from such a solid point. It's not how all people do it, however, and it doesn't make them less mature for starting differently. In my experience a person has gotten to know their dominant on a surface level, making friends and feeling out compatibility. If that works out, I have seen friends submit to a collar of consideration. There's nothing odd in it. It simply gives them a period where they can, ideally, break that contract amicably if things don't work out, without the often more serious imprecations of an actual collar. In my experience, anything that has gone into the realm of "consideration" hasn't worked out, but has always ended in friendship. To each their own. It may not be how you or I would do it, but it doesn't make it any less valid. Nor does it make your way any less valid. Different people have different paths and need to seek the best one for themselves.
