#1 - If you are married or have a serious SO, protect your real identity with the fierceness of a lioness protecting her cubs. Have layer upon layer of identities between your hobby and your real life.

#2 - Never violate Rule #1 Originally Posted by John Bull

This isn't realistic advice in the context of this board. While it is likely excellent advice for the one hour wonders (however fleeting, I understand these are often wonderful experiences) but most of the exchanges that take place in the demiland aren't disposable.

Usually the men want to know what a woman thinks about the world and HIS world. Which means we have to know what that world is and who he is. Then there is the fact that people often travel together and/or we often have an ongoing arrangement (or dare I say relationship) for months and even years. I know it gets said here often, I just don't think its fully understood; these relationships are different - for better or for worse, its just not an anonymous experience - it requires mutual exposure for it to even work.

3) If you have a bad date or potential date, even if she was downright mean or tried to rip you off, try not to waste your time or energy getting angry about it. Learn from it, then move on. Almost by definition not all of your dates with meet your expecations. That is part of the game. Originally Posted by atlcomedy

Good advice here...but also for all of life.

Roll with it folks. You skinned your knee. It stings. Sometimes it stings like hell. Get over it. Get up, brush it off, and move on.

And sometimes...while it ain't worth making it your life's work...you get to get even.

At all times treat the lady as a human being with the respect and dignity due another person. If you are spending extended time with a lady behave like it is a date; treat your lady like you would a date.

2) Respect the boundaries of the relationship. Don't fall in love with a provider. Also hold her accountable for adhering to the boundaries & cease further contact at the first sign she is unable to do that. Originally Posted by atlcomedy

I agree with this to an extent. In my opinion I would add a caveat: anytime people are involved strange things can happen. Go with the flow, keep a clear mind, but don't assume that anything is impossible.

I agree Sydney however there was a time not too long ago that I thought exactly as JB posted. Yes, these arraignments/relationships are different which is why discretion is of the utmost importance even if some don't realize it or practice it.

A gentleman is a gentleman. Period.

I believe, however, that one such as me, who may be interested in a day, maximum; and who isn't traveling with or getting into complicated arrangements, can still see demi's and protect security.

Does that mean that some demi's are going to refuse to see me. Probably! Someday! But none has yet. I think that's partly because of my long time Board presence and my long time Board mod position. In fact, I think that's the only benefit there is to modding.

You always call a spade, a spade.

Believe it or not, even us "one hour wonders" develop a meaningful client/provider relationship over time. I take one hour appointment, but I also see the same clients 2-3 times a month for years. You do learn a little something new about the other over time
