Since I have been gone for the weekend, this turned from fantasy to real.
I have been around for a while and seen lots of couples try to take things from fantasy to real relationships, some tried love, and many many have had their feelings hurt in one way or another and lots of times that was over barter items. It rarely works.
What does work, at least for me, is when the fee left is what I ask and I provide the best service I can for that session.... EVERY time. A tip of 5-50 dollars is greatly appreciated but more would make me uncomfortable and the sessions change or will be halted.
I thought the point of having an expensive gift to explain to family or friends was valid. The possibilities of them finding out about her "other" job much higher. Just not worth a rolex to me.
However, since this is now a real chat... I don't like rolexes but an ounce of gold (or several to equal 10,000) would not be pawned and treasured for retirement.
