If an SP declines, just let it go and move on. It's happened to me and yes it is not pleasant, but arguing acheives nothing.
So for the 3rd or 4th time in this thread, my only purpose for starting this thread was as a "Cautionary Tale" against using your Perb id as part of introducing yourself. I had moved on about not seeing Elsi minutes after she basically shut the idea down. I was not bummed out by it, nor was I mad or anything approaching that. In fact this is how the it ended that day:
Elsi: I've taken a disliking to you for negotiating my rates. It's disrespectful and crass. And when I tried asking you about the post you regret to see if you could use good judgment and employ some self-awareness, you wanted to play coy and hold that out as a carrot to see me. Poor form.
Elsi: When I have so little information to make a decision about inviting someone into my home and into my body, petty moves like that make me think I'm better off passing.
And negotiating with a sex worker over fifty bucks is being cheap. This isn't healthcare or an emergency service, it
it's a luxury product.
JD: Thanks for explaining your reasoning. What is somewhat ironic, is that I have forgotten which post it was that I regretted. If it comes back to me, and I can find it, I will send you a link to it, if simply for the sake of some kind of closure. If I end up seeing another lady that I think you have a good opinion of, I may ask her to send you a reference on my behalf. One of my many qualities (along with modesty) is that I do not hold a grudge or for the most part make permanent judgments about people. Hopefully that is also one of your qualities and we may still find a way past today's event. I hope you have a great day ?
Elsi: You too! Thanks for the kisses! Have yourself a good day!
So you can see, we left it on relatively good terms. And Elsi has texted me a few times today as well, so clearly she wants to continue some type of relationship
