One popular semi-HDH lost $500 (at least). After many great reviews & some sexy chat exchanges I had her on my must see list.
Then after discovering we live near each other I said if she ever got bored we could hang out at Starbucks.
Her response: "my time is worth too much to have coffee with you"....

Time spent with a client is always billable.
Personally, I will never think twice taking someone out for a meal. I just won't pay her to be fed. :-p

she could have said it more politely...
"that would be nice/fun/great. i do have a separate fee for my time spent out and about."
or she could have suggested another place to meet.
i dont know about you guys who [in real life] bill your clients for your professional services, but when i go out to lunch or dinner w/ my clients, i dont bill for that. it's just getting together and enjoying each other, learning about each other, and building a better relationships so that they will want to extend the statement of work or create a new one.
