~*~ HAVE YOU SEEN ME (or any SP) OUT AND ABOUT? ~*~

[Cami Parker]

I always think clients must see me out and about. Even ones that I've never met. It's a small neighbourhood and I know I definitely stick out. No one has ever said anything to me, and I don't know if I'm getting stared at because I'm recognized, or because I dress cute and I'm so not a sloppy "Vancouver Girl". It wouldn't bother me if someone approached me, assuming they weren't interupting anything important. That's probably because I'm used to getting approached for autographs when I'm in the states though, and probably not proper etiquette, so I wouldn't suggest it with anyone else, just me. Haha I've never see anyone particularly familiar, but that's because I wonder around in my own world of head phones, oversized glasses and an undersized dog. I've walked by my very best friend on the street and not even realized it until I got the "WHAT THE HECK?!?" call a block later. "Sorry girl...." Haha.
Anyways, I guess the point of the thread is that while I promise I would never approach a client in public, I'm totally ok if you do it to me. I guess I was wondering if no one talks to because they don't see me, or they think they're "not allowed", or they just don't recognize me with clothes on, or they can't get through my glasses/headphones/Pomeranian fog. Lol
So have you ever seen me, or any other SP out in public? What is propper protocol? The ignore? The head nod? I know my comfort level exceeds that of most ladies in the industry, and I'm curious because I'm pretty sure that what I think is nice and friendly, is most likely not regarded as such on a wider scale....?
I dunno
What do you do?

Again, I respect a gentlemans privacy and would never take it upon myself to approach someone in that manner....

 

[Cami Parker]

Oh really? I'd think that was totally understandable. I mean, even I figured that much and we all know I don't have a "normal" thought process lol
I wish someone would tell me they saw me, even if they didn't approach at the time.
I know this is a small neighbourhood with lots of SP's though...

It happened to me once with a young lady I had been with.
I smiled and waited for her to initiate the recognition, and she didn't, but saw in her eyes she may have...I opened the door for her to pass through first, and said "You have a nice day" and she thanked me with a little laugh.
I was good with that.

 

[Cami Parker]

That's so adorable. I love it!

I've seen a sp once come to my work place and it was pretty awkward.

I've also asked an sp once for her contact and I used it to book direct appointment with her. I ended up falling pretty hard for her and would call her just to chat and we ended up going out a few times (IE clubbing, dinner) but unfortunately it didn't last.

I'd still consider asking an sp for her number if we connected and I wanted to repeat, but I'm kinda worried if she's genuinely interested in me or my money

 

[Cami Parker]

I dunno... SP's have souls too and we are capable of genuine attraction/affection, it just depends on the lady and the situation, I think...

Its happened with a retired sp that I've seen numerous times and off the clock dinner dates etc. We hadn't talked for awhile as we got into a stupid argument, but ran into her while doing some xmas shopping last year. I walk into the store and to my surprise she's one of the employees, Immediately we catch eyes. She gives me a big smile comes up to me and ask how I am doing etc, we talk like any friends would do as she shows me gift ideas. Obviously it depends on situation, history, and the vibe you get. Basically ended up reconnecting with her which was a nice surprise xmas gift.

 

[Cami Parker]

Wow! What an awesome, heart-felt story! I love situations that show us SP's as real women with real feeling, real compassion, real empathy, just real.
I think a lot of people forget that sometimes and think all we care about is money...
There are a lot of job fields where people truly enjoy their careers and clients and aren't just in it for the money. It's possible that for some of us this is the case here too. Thanks so much for sharing such a warm story.

Well I totally wasn't ignoring you! You probably noticed I was floating along in LaLa land lol

It is true, SP are people as well, but most of the girls I've seen based on my history were here to make money and go home. One or two wanted to have friends,but there aren't many.

Maybe I'm still hung up on what could of been with this one SP and don't want to get in that situation again. I fell pretty hard for her pretty hard and it did contribute to ending my relationship with my girl friend.

Maybe again someday. I still would not say no to exchanging numbers with an sp

Whay not say hi and acknowledge

It is actually great to have an SP friend. I have been seeing the same SP for over a year. And yes we do coffee, the odd walk and just hang out at times. She is great and we treat it strictly as good friends. And no she does not charge for hang out time. It's great to have fun behind doors but it's even more fun when you realize who they are.
And when we do bump into each other we just say high, sometimes a hug and treat it like old friends. Of course I would not do this without her consent, or anyone else. But what is wrong with acknowledging someone and saying hi.

 

[CJ Tylers]

nope. nadda. never.

 

[Cami Parker]

I know what you mean. It's not impossible, but it's rare. that being said, my best friend at the ranch ended up marrying a client, and they're still together years later. couldnt be happier either, and he's not a super rich guy so... ya. It's like anything in life. Sometimes you just meet someone and connect on a deeper level.

I have a client like that. I shouldn't say who, but he knows who he is. We consider each other friends, go for tea and chat outside of our appointment times. And no I don't charge for hangout time.

Awesome. Is that a nice place? I've always been super curious...

I saw a Fox over at Metrotown one time after a date (with a different Fox). She happened to get to the escalator at the same time I did, I just smiled, and let her go ahead of me. She just smiled back, and went down. I had the presence of mind to NOT go down the escalator after her, and just walked around the upper level for a couple of minutes, then resumed my way back to my car.

I don't know if this counts, but on my way to the Den, crossing Kingsway at the light, I saw a Fox who I have dated before, walking across the street in the opposite direction. Obviously, can't start a conversation in the middle of a crosswalk, no reaction by either of us, and I just walked my way to the Den.

 

[CJ Tylers]

of course, if you offered to buy me a burger and a beer at bierkraft, you'd certainly see me out there

 

[Cami Parker]

Probably because N. Van is kinda far from SP territory...?

nope. nadda. never.

 

[CJ Tylers]

the N van in my profile is erroneous. I have since moved. Metrotown area.

 

[jax62]

I met a girl at a party few years back and a few months of hanging out she told me she is a SP. I was completely okay with it. We still continued to see each other for about a year until she decided to leave Van and move to Edmonton. We lost touch until last week (Almost 3 years) she messaged me on face book and we exchanged numbers and started to chat. She has changed her career path, decided to go back to College and finish what she started. The convo and chemistry seemed to still be there so we are planning a weekend at my place to catch up...as friends. I usually don't back track but she seemed so sincere...Should I give it a shot?

 

[LADY-VIA]
