I have been participating in the hobby and SHMBs for two decades, where this topic comes up over and over again. Not once have I seen one of these relationships work out long term.
Best case scenario is there is some mutual attraction and you date for a few years until the very unstable foundation on which you built the relationship causes it to collapse. Originally Posted by TinMan

Listen to these guys. I always have said this is about Fucking and having Fun not I love you and love making. I have been told I am cold when I say this and not a good actress. I am like I am not a good actress just truthful. I have a lot of guys that I love to Fuck but not make love to. I know it is easy to care about others cause this is so personal but sweetie ask her if yall both care is Sonic okay. If she cares then no more P4P between yall.

Take a step back and disengage, this is not a substitute for a dating website where most people are looking for a relationship. I know you hear occassional stories about a hobbyist taking a provider off the market but that shit falls apart sooner or later. This hobby isn't for everyone and if you're tender-hearted you maybe in for a rude awakening. Tread carefully and don't fall for the illusion by getting sucked into the matrix. No one gives a shit about you at the end of the day. Fantasy for sale dude.

I know and I can't believe I feel like this. I know it should not be. By the way, new to eccie as it is not widely used from where I moved from........but long timer in the hobby.
Taking a break sounds like the right thing to do...... Originally Posted by joey1234

It is not uncommon to develop an emotional attachment after such an intimate encounter. It's like really looking forward to your next date - but it is only for an hour and it is a business. Yes, you may have a "connection" but keep it in the context of how it developed - it is a business connection. Enjoy it for what it is. Repeat as necessary (after your head slap heals).

Hey Joey 1234,
I agree with everyone else. The providers DO NOT want your love, they want your money. This is their business. It supports their family. You would be surprised how many providers have husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, and kids. You want to have feelings for someone, go to Match.com.
Let's say you do express your love. Here are HER options:
1. ignore you, women know if a guy expresses his love for someone he barely knows the relationship has no chance
2. run from you (now you sound like a potential stalker)
3. accept your love and use you like an ATM, taking all your money for her ________ (fill in the blank) sick kids, sick relatives, child support, rent, food, car payments, etc etc. When in reality you will be supporting her pimp. >_> see now you're just implying that we, as in ALL providers have pimps therefore we have no real lives, we have no real feelings and we're just controlled by someone else
And if she says she loves you too, don't give her any money and ask for free sex. See how long she "loves" you. wow, jaded much? quit acting like providers aren't human too that we don't have feeling that we don't care and that we are some how incapable of love. it's Obnoxious and utterly untrue Originally Posted by dallaswill

Been there, done that. Thought I had learned my lesson early on in the hobby, but then, after being around for over 10-years, I met someone who I thought was a 'keeper'. This time I had to be brought back to reality by the provider herself, where the only semblance of 'love' was 'tough love' as I was let down as gently as possible back to reality.
Upon reflection, I was reminded of a couple cruises I was on. Oh, the first day is soooo wonderful and it only gets better as the cruise continues, but then on the last day the crew's demeanor changes to one of 'thank you for the tip' while getting the passengers off of the ship as impersonally and quickly as possible, and for good reason: The crew only has a few hours to take care of personal items before it's back to the ship for the next sailing.
Some of these providers are truly remarkably awesome gifted ladies, the kind one would really like to have been acquainted with "on the other side" as I refer to the life outside of the hobby as being.
This is a tough pill for newbies to swallow,and I think some here have tried to make you swallow this reality with a shot of vinegar, but I'm trying to do this with an amount of sugar which I hope is going to make this easier for you to swallow.
If sex for you is 'making love' then "run Forrest run" because the 'hobby' isn't "normal". Originally Posted by Ramjet

That doesn't take away from the fact that we will develop a bond that isn't love or anything like that, but a mutual respect and fondness for someone who has put a bright spot in our lives. I know I feel joy at the news that a lady I see regularly has had a good life event and I hope they continue to be happy and well.
Take it easy going into the hobby until you can get it into perspective. Once there, you can relax and enjoy your time with some very nice ladies. Originally Posted by OldGrump

Hobby and Real-Heart do not hang well together.
