Have you ever bumped into a SW you've seen in public?

[Inbedwithted]

This hasn't happened to me yet. I live in a small-ish city and there are a couple providers living in my area. I expect someday to run into one at a local shop.

Has this happened to you? If so, I have so many questions! What was your reaction? What was her reaction? Did you engage in conversation? Were you with your SO or other family members? Awkward?

Just curious.

Thx!

Personally, I tend to just make a fleeting eye contact and if I have her number in my phone i have on occasion fired off a quick text to say hi.

There is an Unwritten rule, but probably it should be written. If you run into a service provider in public you are not to acknowledge them, say hello to them, do anything! They are not a service provider when they are out in public. Leave them alone.

Good call Bob. Any provider will appreciate this and hopefully reciprocate the discretion. I got a text from a fave once thanking me for being so discreet while we were eating a few tables apart at Cactus. I didn’t know what she was talking about as I hadn’t seen her, but I hope and aim to be that considerate should the occasion ever arise again.

NEVER do that
NEVER mix your pleasure with her business
what if a friend relative other caught your exchange...

MULTIPLE previous threads in the past

Indeed, but some people need to be reminded.

Note that a woman’s family might not be in sight but they can still be nearby!
Just because she looks alone doesn’t mean she is!

Hence, the "fleeting" reference. Obviously if there was eye contact, she must be doing the same. And really, do you mean to tell me you have never made eye contact with a stranger in passing? I have actually had SP's tell me I should have stopped and said hi .

 

[sunnydayz]

I have had it happen a few times and usually if I contact is made it is a small smirk or smile at most. Otherwise just ignore and move on. Like westwoody said you never know if she is alone and she does not know if you are alone.

 

[luvsdaty]

A few times. I just ignore them and we usually laugh about it on the next session. Discretion is a must in this hobby.

if she sees you and “happens” to initiate a smile then like anyone smile back. however, every time i smile or say hi out in public whoever i’m with tends yo say, oh who is that. imagine the reverse for her. my version of any scenario is never take any initiative, never assume ever the coast is clear. i’d rather she say, “hey i saw you and you didn’t smile”. BETTER safe than sorry, ask all married guys.

Has happened couple of times and let them take the lead. One time was getting mail at my condo and SP that know comes walking by, says hi, you busy? I was not and still one of the best sessions EVER.

Was walking around in Yaletown, passed by not one but two ladies I'd seen (they were together). My mind was elsewhere, so I didn't fully realize it until I was maybe 20 m away going in a different direction, and so I didn't say hello or anything. By the time I got to my car, the more familiar of the two sent me a text along the lines of "was that you passing by?", to which I replied that it was. That's as far as it went.

good call... and then she text “we are both available now” DUO

Once. I was checking into a hotel for a conference. As the lady checking in beside me gave her name, I recognized it and glanced over. We both smiled. We know each other by our real names and she knows my relationship status. After check-in was done, she asked if I would help her to her room with her luggage.

In a small town like Kamloops it's happened more than once.....even though I don't go too town often as its a very long drive.
Costco seems to be a target rich environment for unscheduled run-ins.
When I was down an isle alone, after running into a certain young lady with a friend earlier.....she asked me who the attractive older lady it was I walked in with?
I informed her it was my Mom....and thank her for not saying anything at the time, as my Mother is always preying on young ladies to marry me off.
As it was her that approached me afterwards, and alone, we did have a nice short conversation.....as we where both looking over our shoulders for our shopping companions, and happy we had avoided a very awkward conversation.

Another time I held a door open for a very attractive blonde,that gave me a very nice smile, I told her too "have a nice day"...and she said " you do the same" with a little laugh. She was with a friend, but we both most definatley recognized each other....I heard the friend ask who I was, or how she knew me....she informed her that "all big Cowboys tend to hold doors open in this town for a lady"

 

[D12]

it’s only happened to me once I saw a sp at a local gym

 

[namesareforfriends]

She didn't recognize me at all (only seen her once) but I'm 95% sure I was at a poker table with one. The only difference was she looked like she gained some weight.

 

[take8easy]

Yes, I have. As recently as in December in Guildford Mall. A few months ago, I ran into a now not active SP at the Mcdonalds on Main and Terminal. I was alone but she was with a guy. Saw one at a Costco a long time ago, but she didn't see me. Another one coming out of her incall while I was waiting to see another girl who used to work there.

Yes, the unwritten rule is to do nothing beyond the eye contact and it applies to both parties.

You can't just leave it at that. Come on!
