My girl and I are always talking. If not, how would I know the things she craves. Some of them have not come to fruition because (as the dom) I wasn't interested at that time. She must "live" with that. But she knows, because I've told her so, (anticipation is a great tool,) that next summer, she will be eating at my feet, because I've grown enamored with the idea of seeing her do so.
Seeds are planted. They take time to germinate, grow, and bloom.
Fortunately, she sowed a lot of seeds last summer.
We do talk, every day. Not always about D/s or kink things, but it does come up over the course of everyday conversation. I don't think there's anything at all wrong with saying "I like this" or "I'd like to try that, what do you think?"
Working too much....and unfortunately not online as much as I'd like.
