When does a hobbyist think it's ok to ask a provider out on an uncompensated date?

If you're referring to a guy inviting you for a bite to eat immediately after paid BCD time, then I see no problem with that as long as the two of you hit it off really well, enjoy each others' company, and both have the time. I don't do it often, but I've asked before with women I especially had a good time with. If they say no, that's perfectly fine. The ones that accept I think know me well enough to understand there is no ulterior motive other than to eat, talk and have fun. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yes, this is a business, but these are businesses run by independent owners. They aren't franchises that follow specific rules and protocol. Every woman handles these situations differently. Provider A may be perfectly fine going out to eat OTC after a paid session while Provider B may want to be paid no matter what. Nothing wrong with either case, but how are we to know the difference without asking?
I was looking at a provider's website a while back, and she had it stated clearly that she didn't spend off-the-clock time with clients. That didn't stop me from seeing her, but at least I knew not to invite her to eat afterwards. If you are so offended by a simple question, I recommend you try doing the same thing. As many posters here have proven, it's okay to ask, at least with some providers. If they keep asking and won't accept no for an answer, then that's different.
Yes, this is a fantasy, but I would hope every woman I chose to spend time with liked me at least a little bit. You might think you're a good actress, but if you truly hate your job, you won't be able to hide it from everybody. Some of us can see through that disguise. I wouldn't want to spend time with a provider that, in reality, was disgusted or repulsed by me and just there to collect the envelope. In my mind that's the equivalent of forcing a person to do something they really don't want to do.
