The last half of this sounds like there's eggs being put in a basket...just because you got free social time doesn't necessarily mean she has a thing for you. This could just be a "business retention" technique. Just don't get hurt :)

And my example before is obviously not an absolute rule. I've said I missed someone and meant it. But I've only said it once or twice, ever. Not to every third one.
I still miss tv shows that have been cancelled. I don't worry that the network is planning to extort something from me because I would like to see a second season.
Mel I think you can agree... if someone sends you a text message that gives you the warm fuzzies, you don't have to respond in kind. Assuming the texter is sincere, they don't expect anything in return.

Being suspicious that someone is attempting to trick you into getting a case of the feels and possibly open you up to being manipulated or taken advantage of with a nice text message is an awesome indicator that you, the textee, are lacking a bit of self assuredness that you would do well to top up. If you don't feel like using your own judgment, consider whatever happens the price of letting someone else make your choices for you.

There are eggs being put in a basket yes, but more than one basket. Been a couple dates in the last week with regular girls, just gotta keep my options open till I find the one. Leaves me with the question would I date an sp? Don't think I could, former SP probably

Every time I see an escort profess to have a "real connection" it always sounds, to some degree, like a marketing thing targeted at the lonely people who are desperate for a connection. Maybe that's not what you intend, maybe you think you really have a real connection with clients, but I'm pretty sure I've seen ads on where escorts are selling "real connections" or "genuine connections" and that always seemed kind of hilarious, if it was tongue in cheek, and disappointing if it was legitimate.

Anyways, I've said it before and I will say it again, I will never see how you can have a "real" connection with someone that isn't even using their real name... unless it's like how Batman and Catwoman are always attracted to each other even though she usually doesn't know he's actually Bruce Wayne. But if it's like Spider-man and Black Cat, then it's a fake connection because Felicia Hardy doesn't like the real Peter Parker, she just likes Spider-man, or her internal idea of Spider-man, which means she's not connecting with Peter or Spider-man but an aspect of herself that she's projecting upon him. :eek:

Oh and I've noticed it is usually the escorts that have been around for a while that profess to have those real connections, maybe that's because it takes a long time, and a LOT of repeat visits, to really connect. Or maybe being an escort for a long time has an isolating effect and the escorts idea of a real connection evolves and changes from what it used to be as a non-escort or in her early escort days because she needs that connection too. Just a thought.
Eh, you can still have a genuine connection but still keep things business oriented. The two aren't mutually exclusive. A lady can still enjoy certain clients over others without getting overly complicated.

I have seen an escort for a number of years with it being only a visit for a date and then leave for the first few years. One day she invited me over just for a coffee and things progressed from there. Now I see her often for a beer or to help her out with things she needs. She discusses her problems with me and I have met one of her girlfriends and a member of her immediate family. We sometimes talk about relationship possibilities and she knows I have developed feelings for her but she does not wish to get involved emotionally with me and is quite open and honest about it. We still enjoy seeing each other and I enjoy the fact she has taken me into her confidence so to speak.

Well it's a funny thing this "real connection" business (haha so many quotation marks are going to be misused in this post), and it means different things to different people. Personally it just means how well I "get along" with someone. To some it obviously means more.

I'll go back for some sessions if I felt I got along happily with someone and enjoyed that (provided the sex was at least "good"), but it won't get a whole bunch of repeats.

I'll also only go back a few times if the sex was great (and I dont spend downtime thinking "I should just put my dick in her mouth so she shuts up), but it won't get a whole bunch of repeats if I don't actually "get along" well with her.

Obviously sex is the big kicker and what I go for first. Yes I like conversation time and book to have some, but the sex on the first time (or couple times) is what determines if, when, how soon I want to go back. After that, how well I get along with them (comfort levels, familiarity, being able to be honest about stuff, understanding, etc) is gonna decide just how frequently I go back. There are providers who "play up" the "real" connection stuff. It never flies with me, be a fun play partner first after that you can try and be my friend. I'm not saying all providers have to do that; different strokes for different folks (aka some clients want that), and we all do what we're comfortable with. I'm just saying I take certain effort into consideration then other efforts after. Make no mistake, effort in each area gets noticed, is appreciated, and gets someone more business if the first visit or two go well enough it makes me wanna go back.

There are obviously different levels of getting along. I have someone I like that lies SO MUCH about the things she tells me, it makes me smile in the way she does it though (and, uh, she's a great lay!), and she is just generally "fun" conversation. That's a manner of getting along.

It can also go to somewhere that you "really" get along. That can be hard. It's not easy to give someone money and always believe everything you hear. Especially when after a long time you realize you haven't been told something you; don't agree with or you don't want to hear. When everything for me is good (work, living conditions, social stuff) I tend to be believing and able to focus. When those things aren't good I tend to doubt and overthink details that don't matter (and that has caused friction between those that I get along with "well"). It took awhile, but I came to the realization that regardless of how much is "for my benefit" it doesn't matter if it works for me, and all the different "efforts" are still there each and everytime I go.

Perception is everything and a "real connection" only has to be real for me. So if someone is fun in bed and can make me believe we get along well (regardless of what they really think), boom they get more business. Stop being fun in bed and you can lie till you're blue in the face, it won't matter (someone gets an extra chance or two that others don't get). If everything works for me, why the hell would I wanna dig around for the "truth" and spoil a good thing?

I always say "Don't ask questions you can't handle all the different possible answers for"

If you're approaching it from the point of perception, then of course there's a different perspectives from every person on this issue.

However, in my opinion, if you stop caring if the connection is real for anyone else other than you, I think it's time for you to start building up real connections with people in the real world again that are mutual connections. Those are infinitely more rewarding than a one-sided connection or one based on someone putting up a show.

Of course, my perspective is that I am someone that enjoys the anonymous sex of escorts and that doesn't want a put-up show of a connection or getting along really well, all I need to know is that it is consensual. I think you agree with me on some level as well since the focus for you is sex too. So for me, once you start looking for a "real connection" or even to get along really well with an escort, it's a sign that there is something missing in your real, personal life that you are trying to fill with paid encounters. Paid encounters are the wrong place to look for it because it will never truly fill it.
