Hey Ladies and Gents:
Seems like it has been 7 months since I've posted in National Forum and I trust you all are doing well this evening while prepping for a busy week! This is a quick thread to gather your insights on this issue. Here goes:
I have been been pretty strict with my business practices in the one year I have been in the Texas hobby and have drawn the fine line between business and personal. After all, I treat my business as a part-time profession in addition to my non-hobby profession where professionalism and attention to every detail matters.
Well, over the months in the majestic city of San Antonio, I have noticed the same 2-3 clients have been booking me regularly at my downtown location which I have branded "Downtown Delight" In San Antonio, I usually stay in a downtown hotel suite/room and what is odd is that it seems like the clients who book me at my downtown location tend to book me weekly, not necessarily infatuation with me, but I sense that their pockets might be a bit deeper as they have a profession that pays them a bit more in a relatively blue collar city. In particular, two clients in the past week have offered to take me to dinner since there is a shared chemistry. With several of my clients, it is easy to form a friendship with so many of these gents who disclose their daily stress, fears, happiness and past-times.
I have always been attracted to older men (40s/50s) and have always had an affinity for Latino men (must be heritage thing I suppose), however, most recently I have been asked out on a "non BCD date" by much younger men, say early-thirties who are professionals and Latino - lol. Several providers charge an hourly rate for non-BCD dates, but I never have since it is hard to put a price on dinner when he is buying you dinner and drinks at the nicest restaurants. I must say, the thrilling aspect of this has been the fact that I am being pursued outside of the hobby and am not labeled as "escort" in their eyes. After being hurt emotionally in a recent relationship, dating these much younger men has been awesome for my self-esteem/self-confidence after a slight emotional "bruising" in that when I am with them, I feel beautiful that they want to be seen with me in public, introduce me to their friends and take me for a stroll on the Riverwalk or some nice area in San Antonio. They don't judge me for being an "escort" and embrace me for who I truly am outside of the hobby. I am a strong girl with or without a lover in my life, but if a man cares, he will want to spend time with you and show you his affection and vice-versa. The men I have been dating lead busy professional lives and as I do, so it is flattering that they have devoted time to getting to know me.
So, this past week in San Antonio, I went out on two dates with Latino thirty-somethings and it was so enjoyable. We have a lot in common, similar educational backgrounds, professional careers and of course great chemistry which developed over the course of weekly visits as provider/client. A few of these men know what I do professionally outside of the hobby and in turn I know their real identity since they had given me their business card and I have even sat in their office over coffee so I am not too concerned about a security breach.
Naturally, there is a fine line between dating my clients and BCD-sessions with the clients I date, so I suppose it is a mutual understanding that dating is hand-holding and a kiss on the cheek, but if they want the other stuff, they have to book me via e-mail. If it back-fires, I suppose I terminate one or the other, but so far it has been an exciting journey for me. I am not really looking for a relationship at this point in my life and want to have fun.
Question to you ladies, have you ever dated clients and what were your experiences? Men, have you ever dated providers? How did it go?
Just curious about other experiences as I am smiling in my reflection of my memorable times this past week
