One thing i think is quite important is not to claim to be something your not, and hope to catch up later by asking questions.

If you are not an experianced dom/sub this is nothing to be ashamed of, and being honest about this i believe makes any relationship last a lot longer. Once you have accepted this and you arent in the mindset that you know everything (which lets face it no one does) then its quite reasonable to seek out knowledge from other sources and defiantly isnt a sign of weakness in my eyes.
