How do you clean your $? Seriously, you can't put all that cash in the bank without a DBA, good story and a 1040.

Either way, I do put my money in the bank and pay my taxes as normal. It's unfortunate with tax rates being so high (I pay about 45% in taxes) but I want to invest my money and you cannot invest money you haven't paid taxes on.
Chung, you must be asking the same things of the same women that I am.
Okay, I'll bite. What can a client do to make a woman want to see him again, as opposed to merely accepting tolerating his company for $XXX per hour?
Further, let's say you know that every client you've ever had drives by your incall on his way home from work every day. Assuming you'd when one or more you have nothing going on and say "I'd like to see you. Why don't you stop by on your way home today/tomorrow/one day later this week?", what characteristics would such clients have? (Note that I'm not talking about the kind of contact that women initiate when the rent is due and they send a blast out to all their clients. )

Even if he is unattached, he could be with his mom/friend/business partners. I feel that being the sort of woman who will "leave you alone" after we have our fun is included in the fee.
A client would have to initiate a conversation with me, okaying contact outside of session scheduling in order for me to consider.
With that said, there have been times when I wished things could be different so I understand the question. Some examples: If we've discussed football and I know someone's favorite football team, I may think of them when I see their team playing and get an urge to comment on the result. On one occasion, I was extremely attracted to a client and was interested in him as more-than-just-a-client. However, he was a "collector", someone who never repeats, and I knew he wouldn't be interested in meeting again. . .so I wished I could send him a message but I stayed true to my policy and didn't. Other than that, good conversationalists and clients who are smart or have a similar sense of humor may make me wish/hope to see them again.
This is beyond the simple good hygiene/on-time arrival/general etiquette I'm sure everyone is aware of.
