I don't expect a provider to thank me for my business. I don't even expect them to acknowledge a tip. They don't do either, anyway, so why get my expectations up?
When I give a Christmas or birthday gift to a provider, the occasion is unlike any other in my civilian life. In almost every instance in the real world, I give not only because I want to, but because I have to, with the ratio of have-to to want-to varying from recipient to recipient. When I give a gift to a provider, it's entirely because I want to. I don't expect a free session, or for her to be overwhelming in her gratitude. But a thank-you would be nice.

When I did charity, some people weren't appreciate of the work being done. Some of the people with no money to buy food didn't like the free food provided. Getting appreciation is not why you do charity. You do it because you want to or you feel like it's the right thing to do. It's the same with giving gifts. Even though DDT say he wants nothing in return, he wants continuing adulation. That's called an ulterior motive.
When I was in my teens and early 20's, I used to be a "nice guy". I told myself that I was doing things for girls because I was a good guy and just helping them because I could. The truth is, I did want something in return; affection, gratitude, a boost to my ego for being the hero, and pussy. You can't buy people's affection or gratitude. Trying do so is just a form of low self-esteem. If someone really cares about you, you don't have to do or buy things for them to make them care about you or respect you. I used to get mad at girls when they wouldn't cave to the nice guy manipulation. You have to grow out of that.
Women that really care about you require nothing but your time and attention. They go out of their way to make you happy and they never break dates. You won't get that from someone you have to pay to see, nor should you try. If a provider wants to brush off clients to spend time with you, fine. But that doesn't seem like the case.
