More times than I care to remember. I call it "going poof!" and it happens all the time. I am NOT a scary person, far from it. I am very nice, I swear. But I have both talked to people online who have done this as well as it happening after meeting in person. I have one theory on why it happens and this is possibly specific to my experiences because I'm dealing in large part with new/novice subs. Because I am very young and have been trying to find someone my own age for a while now, I have a lot of contact with guys in their early-mid twenties who have been fantasizing about d/s forever but mostly never met anyone. A lot of times, just the thought of meeting is enough to make them go poof, as they are happy to keep talking online forever but you mention meeting and it's like magic every time! Sometimes they are brave enough to actually meet but a second date? Forget about it. Most of the disappearing acts I have encountered have actually been with people that I really hit it off with really well and could even see potential with. So what I have conlduded from my own experience and from talking to others is that when it gets too real they have to retreat into a deeper fantasy world and away from any potential reality. You know what my solution has been? You've got to meet people in real life. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't believe in the validity of meeting online anymore. At least, in my experiences, it only works in the rarest of occassions. I found the person I'm with now (and very happy with) at a local MAsT meeting. Masters And slaves Together - for those who don't know. I know I'm going to get a lot of backlash from this because many of you have met people online successfully, but really, I think the odds are pretty low.
