@Deathandglory @tantalizeme I respect everybody's different views. Tantalize, I know that you were asking a serious honest question. I know that the question is HAVE I had an experience with an SP outside of the hobby, not (as I'm answering to) do I WANT to have an experience with an SP outside of the hobby. I won't name her, but I confess, there is one here in Vancouver who, deep down, I would love to. And, she would never suspect it either (that I would have that much interest in her, as a regular person, to get to know her in "real life").
So, I welcome anybody here to offer critical feedback to me on this: Am I potentially digging myself into a deep hole, by getting too attached to a certain lady? Ideal scenario, SP and I respect each other, have a good time, but know that it's "a business," and I have no "feelings of attachment" to her. But, we ARE dealing with human beings, with human emotions.
Thanks.
McGee.
In all honesty the answer is its up to you. Or it depends on you.
I mean should you pursue interests you have to a certain sp.
I think its a big moment when your with an sp, and you realize you like her or your friends with her, or dam you love her. And you tell her.
And she kind of says hey that is so sweet can we get together next week, and by the way it will still cost you your regular donation.
How you handle that depends on whether you should or not.
If your going to be bitter or angry or whatever, and end up mad, and just causing a lot of drama.
I guess your answer should be no.
I am an old guy and married, so for me, it was just nice to feel something again.
Doesn't really matter to me what happens between her and me. I think that is one reason why we still see each other, is I'm not at all concerned about our relationship, if it continues or just stops.
I really don't have any worries in that regard. Like I said that is why I think it works for us.
But if your going to say I love you or hey I really have this thing for you, And you need her to say I love you back or respond to that in some positive way.
If she doesn't it is mostly over between you and your going to feel like a fool and be bitter.
If you can deal with crashing and burning and feeling foolish,
but then maybe your like me don't really care, its just nice to feel those things I did so many years ago.
I think there is no answer,
Just like there would be no answer for an sp, whether or how would she deal with this scenario, it really depends.
You know its really know different I mean it could be some girl from the office you have a crush on, and she just laughs in your face,
How do you handle rejection of any kind.
Is it better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.
Is it better to feel something and care for some one, and just enjoy the feeling, even though they don't respond to you in a way that you want or need.
In all honesty, in my experiance nobody loves you back the way you want them to or need them to.
The difference with an sp is well you can have sex with them, try that with a girl in the office you have a crush on and you just told her, and she says not interested, ask her can we at least have sex. Well with an sp you can at least have sex.
