do you ever

What I enjoy most is acquiring that companionship when you see someone multiple times. The fantasy's you can create when you are familiar with one another. That feeling is the attachment.

It happens often, both ways. Some people like that, there is nothing like a ATF. Just my opinion.

do you ever find yourself getting attached to a provider or client that you have seen on a regular bases Originally Posted by gary5912

attached as in wanting to spend more encounters with her with no strings attached? YES

Personally, I wouldn't see someone on a regular basis if I didn't like them enough to feel a certain amount of attachment. Originally Posted by ez2plz

but if, for example, she has a messy place, is scatterbrained/disorganized, has spacey thoughts, bitches about things esp those that "arent her fault", asks for money for bills or debts, or is indiscreet or talks about others in less than respectful manner ==> SHE'S OFF MY LIST!!

Back to the OP's question. Yes - but you have to remember what the relationship really is. Absolutely nothing wrong with caring or feeling extra for a provider, as long as you keep reality in the back of your mind.

I'll let myself fall in love for an hour or two, sometimes longer if its trip somewhere. But then you have to fall out of love and back to real life. Originally Posted by BigMikeinKC

imho, there is a BIG YELLOW TAPE between a provider and a client that reads "CROSS OVER AT YOUR PERIL - FOR EACH SIDE IS IN A DIFFERENT REALITY AND YOU PROBABLY WONT GET WHAT YOU WERE AFTER."

Back to the original topic, there was a provider I saw about 90 times over the course of a year and a half that left the biz and the state about 6 months ago. To be honest I felt heartbroken when she left, and I still miss her. Originally Posted by elitistjerk

while i miss suzanne, i wont forget the memories.

Yes, in that very predicament now and trying my best to SNAP OUT OF IT. Somebody slap me please! Originally Posted by emosissy

That is why so many hobbyists see some many different providers. Some times it clicks. Taylor and I clicked the other night and I had to go back the next night for a second helping. Dont do that very often! Now I need to do a review! Or 2.

I agree with that! On my side of the fence if I feel a client is starting to get let's say attached I can tend to put a nice sized gap in our meetings. Sometimes I will avoid permanently if the "gap" (lol that doesn't sound right if your mind is like mine) doesn't seem effective. But if Richard Gere happend to be that client hmmmm lmao kidding
