The search can be frustrating for lifestyle Dommes as well. Here's just one post to illustrate.

I personally know many dominant women in the local kink community (munches and bdsm events, not online). They all say pretty much the same thing, that the internet is wankers who only want to chat or see them on cam so they can get off.
The one website where I do see a good number of people I know is collarme.com. If you haven't tried there, might as well. Can't hurt. Collarme doesn't allow financial solicitation. Many findoms and prodoms use the site anyway, and from what I've heard many men who aren't seriously looking for a relationship (only masturbation fodder) use the site too. But it might be worth a try, if you're not on it already.
You might also try clearly stating in your profile (here and on other sites) that you really are seeking a serious relationship, and not merely online to chat and masturbate, or only to "explore" from the safety of behind a computer screen.
Now, to answer your question directly...

Truth is, I'd recently broken up from a vanilla relationship. We'd tried, but she just didn't have it in her. So I swore that was the end of vanilla for me, and next time I'd just confess all in the first week and if any new girlfriend-to-be didn't go for the idea, better to break it off sooner than later.
Turns out, about a month later I got together with an female friend of many years. We'd both recently broken up, and in an evening of drinking passion ensued. A few days later, I kept my promise to myself and confessed kinky desires, and we ended up tying each other up and soon she really took to the dominant role. She'd always been a little interested in kink, but never was with anyone who had the interest (one former partner apparently was terribly ashamed of being turned on by being held down during sex... for example).
But honestly, it took a few years for her to really get into it. In particular, for new tops/dommes, there is a lot of social conditioning to get past, particularly when it comes to causing pain. The thing that really did it was finding the local kink community. We started going to munches and then events and play parties, and after a while made lots of good friends in "the scene". The social acceptance from lots of great kinky friends is really the thing that did it.
Good luck in your search.
Try not to get discouraged by the apparent ratio of femdoms to male subs (perhaps 1:20), as the vast majority of the subs online aren't truly seeking a serious, committed relationship.
