My advice? If you express enough of an interest in someone it's quite possible they may "Become dom" for you. It's actually not quite as simple as just that but it should give the general idea. Basically express an interest in someone, have it returned and work up to looking after each other in all things. Even if you get to know a sub they could still end up becoming a dom if you keep their "Sub needs" in mind.
It's actually been an issue with me and an owner before. Long story short, I expressed that much of an interest in someone and went out of my way to look after them (I would like to note they at first expressed more of an interest in someone else for a while and had trust issues). They in turn did the same back (After a fair few conversations and communicating about things). Being there in "my" way as well as theirs, along with out shared ways. At first it was obviously a struggle. The fear of looking after someone "well enough" can cause people to become afraid of not being able too and hold them back. Which can be mistaken (inaccurately more often then not) as "not caring" when it's the reverse. Over time it got easier. Long as someone tries they get better at it. I had to "take charge" a bit myself. Give a nudge in how to put me in line here. What might apply as rewards and punishments there. Those decisions are not just left up to the dom alone after all. In time they got the hang of things and started taking the initiative a bit more themselves without me having to nudge them at all. My approach to it has always been "Look after them so they can look after me".
The real trick is making your concerns of being in the way or neglected known without appearing selfish about it. It can honestly be a delicate art. If I had gone "I need a lot of attention" though, I doubt I would have got it. Likewise it can be just as difficult to go "You you you". It can make people feel selfish. How then do you balance the two once you're at the "Expressing an interest" phase? I find it's important to be open and honest as possible about what I'm into. But also "how" those things are gone about. I also don't apply the logic to me alone, I apply the logic "In general" as well. For example, would not hurting a masochist not be the same as refusing to hug them? What if choking was done slowly with a leash around the neck instead of fast and rough? Would a "Good" thing be bad to someone else where it might be "bad"? That doesn't translate into being incompatible if that's the case. it's simply "Different strokes for different folks". Look after me in "my" ways and I'll look after you in "your" ways. Which can become our ways inbetween somehow. not sure how it works that way, it just does somehow.
Also don't limit yourself to munches. Best owner I've had avoided group things (I'm much alike in that regard) and was more of an introvert. We started off talking about games at first. Then we talked about "How these weird situations apply to people that are different". Which ended up becoming "Communications about fears and concerns" which ended up being her sub. What I'm basically saying is that I consider it wise to be willing to open up with anyone "outside" of the BDSM field as much as "in" it. Even if 9/10 people assume stupid shit that is wrong and inaccurate about me, that 1/10 can be the one that is worth it. I'm open book myself. Others can start of being more "closed" (yet still perfectly willing to listen and talk). Fear (of strangers. Trust is earned after all) does that and such. How many "potential doms" might have been overlooked by limiting yourself "only" in the BDSM field? Considering that I'm only finding them outside of it myself (there's another dom I haven't brought up) I'd probably say a lot.
